On 27 September the yearly Oracle World Retail Awards will be announced in Berlin’s Deutsches Historisches Museum. The jury has just announced the shortlist of the eight categories, each including six names.
Many important names feature the list(s), sometimes even twice. Grupo Pão de Açúcar, recently the target of a struggle between French giants Casino and Carrefour, is nominated for Responsible Retailer of the Year and Emerging Market Retailer of the Year. In the first category, it will have to deal with Marks & Spencer, also nominated for Multichannel Etailer of the Year. Carrefour and Disney Store will have to compete twice, in the categories Store Design of the Year and Format Innovation.
The Award ceremony is part of the World Retail Congress, which takes place between 25 and 28 September in Berlin’s InterContinental Hotel.
