A Luxemburg supermarket has been awarded the highest level of recognition possible under an assessment program. The Independent Grocers Alliance recently announced that Stodola’s IGA was awarded the Five Star honor for achievement in performance. The program includes "secret shoppers" and evaluates stores on operations, merchandising innovation, and customer service. Store Manager Alex Stodola credits his staff for winning the award and adapting to the current challenges in the industry this past year.
IGA CEO John Ross said in a press release that “In 2021, our retailers continued to face challenges brought about by the pandemic while experiencing new ones, like labor shortages and inflation. That’s why Stodola’s Five Star status in 2021 is even more impressive. The significant accomplishment demonstrates perseverance and true dedication to their community."
