Pick ‘n Pay has been voted the world’s best retailer by international retail organisation, the National Retail Federation (NRF).

The US-based NRF made the announcement at their annual convention and expo in New York and NRF president and CEO Tracy Mullin presented the award to CEO Nick Badminton during an international retail industry function there on Tuesday.

The highly coveted international award is given to a retail firm that has achieved an international reputation for excellence and distinguished service to the retail industry. The accolade involves selection by global industry leaders.

The NRF is the world’s largest retail trade association, with a membership base that includes retailers and suppliers from a range of stores including specialty, discount, internet, independents, chains, chemist and food stores.
