This award, only in its 8th year, is certainly the most prestigious in our industry. We were the second retailer to ever receive this award and the first to receive it outside of New York City where the yearly industry dinner is held (at Central Park's Tavern on the Green). That's Fred, Tina, Bruce, Susan, Marsha, Fred and Tina's sons Zach and Alex (among others) pictured at The Village Hat Shop table at the awards dinner.
