About the Award
The NACS Foundation Collegiate Retailer of the Year Award recognizes the highest level of collegiate retailing excellence. One college store will be recognized and presented with a $5,000 award on a biennial basis.
The Collegiate Retailer of the Year Award is underwritten through the Tommye and Keith Miller Endowment fund. Their passion for the industry inspired the Miller’s to endow a prestigious award that would celebrate a dynamic and forward-thinking store’s achievement.
This award reflects the very essence of Tommye’s philosophy on how to operate a successful college store that is an indispensable resource to its campus. By holding yourself and staff accountable to the highest standards possible; developing key relationships with faculty, students and administrators; being creative with merchandising; using new and emerging technologies; creating an exciting and inviting store environment; and developing staff to help them reach their career goals—all while supporting the academic mission and being profitable from a retail perspective.
The NACS Foundation Board of Directors is solely responsible for all decisions regarding the awarding of the Collegiate Retailer of the Year.
