Champion Awards
As part of URA’s 20th Annual Trade Show, we’re excited to bring back awards recognizing excellence among both retailers and manufacturers in the uniform retail industry.
From standout stores and displays to top-performing brands and service, these awards are a chance to celebrate the businesses and people who make our community strong.
Deadline to Submit: August 15, 2026
Voting has Closed
Winners will be announced at the Great Gatsby & Awards Party, at the Annual Trade Show in Las Vegas, October 19, 2026.
Retailer Awards
Retailers had an opportunity to submit nominees and vote at the Annual Trade Show.
In 2012, we added a new category. With these awards, manufacturers had an opportunity to nominate and vote for their favorite retailers in various regions of the country for both single store owner and multiple store owner categories. Manufacturers were encouraged to nominate retailers based on store appearance, merchandising, volume of sales, inventory control, brand coverage and store produced promotions.
Retailers were encouraged to annually submit photos of their displays . Displays had to use merchandise from brands represented at the upcoming trade show and pictures could not contain a store name. Each store/company was limited to 3 photos per category.
Manufacturer Awards
From 2008 through 2017, independent uniform retailers had an opportunity to vote for their favorite manufacturer in the various categories.
