One Week Left to Enter 2015 CSNews Store Design Contest

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Just one week is left to enter the 10th annual Convenience Store News Store Design Contest. C-store chains and single-store owners can submit entries through July 1.

The program honors new and rebuilt c-stores whose designs excel in areas such as interior layout, use and effectiveness of signage and logos, and exterior property and landscaping.

Awards will be presented separately to chains and single stores in six different categories based on the scope of the project and the store's overall look:

• Best Original Design (new build)
• Best Interior Design (new build)
• Best "Green" Design
• Best Low Cost Remodel (less than $100,000)
• Best Mid-Budget Remodel ($100,000 to $250,000)
• "The Sky's the Limit" Remodel (more than $250,000)

All entries must include a completed official entry form; a brief description of the store; design/remodel objectives; challenges and results; before and after images; and a handling fee of $125 for chains and $75 for single stores. Multiple entries by one company in each category are permitted as long as the designs are different and unique. Construction or remodeling of eligible stores must have taken place between January 2014 and February 2015. 

Winners will be selected based on innovation, creativity and the positive impact of the design and/or remodel on the retailer's overall business.
