GCA Bathroom Contest

Jun 24, 2019
GCA Bathroom Awards Competition Now Open for BusinessBy Tim Hodson

Do your garden center bathrooms get your customers talking?

If they do, then they might win you a special honor in Garden Centers of America’s 2019 Best Garden Center Bathroom Awards this summer.

The awards, now in their ninth year, recognize IGC retailers whose restrooms contribute to the store’s favorable shopping experience.

The Gold Award winner will receive an honorary plaque to display in-store, as well as one free registration to next year’s GCA Summer Tour. Additional recognitions include Silver Awards and Awards of Merit.

Independent garden centers are encouraged to submit their garden center bathrooms, including, but not limited to, recent renovations and remodels, for the juried competition.

The deadline for entries is Friday, July 5, midnight EDT.

To enter the competition, garden centers should submit: several photos of their store bathrooms, saved in jpeg file format, along with a brief paragraph about the bathrooms, the concept behind the designs and their benefits to the garden center.

The information, along with the name of the store and key contact, address, phone and e-mail address, should be e-mailed to: [email protected]

Do you have an award-winning bathroom?
