Since 2004, Home Accent’s Today’s annual
50 Retail Stars list has celebrated the accomplishments of independent brick-and-
mortar retailers by spotlighting their operational accomplishments, merchandising milestones, community involvement, creativity, and – in the case of the supernova shopkeepers who survived the lean years of recession – their resilience. Published each May in Home Accents Today’s national issue, the Retail Stars list has evolved into an industry institution, supported through the nominations
of vendors, sales reps and manufacturers and compiled by Home Accents Today’s editors and research staff. Join some of our Retail Stars past and present as they discuss how they’re continuing to outshine the competition.
