Dover Pools awarded AQUA 100 for excellence in retail

Posted

DOVER — Dover Pools recently announced it has been inducted into the AQUA 100, an exclusive honor bestowed to just 10 North American pool and spa retailers each year.

The AQUA 100, presented by AQUA Magazine, is an industry-leading competition designed to honor excellence in pool and spa retail. In light of the adversity specialty retailers of all kinds have faced over the past decade — the rise of online shopping, the pressure of a recession and, this past year, the global pandemic — the AQUA 100 honors the diamonds of excellence that have not only survived, but thrived, proving once and for all the spirit of brick-and-mortar businesses will carry on.

“To win an independently judged, national contest like the AQUA 100 is a real achievement,” says AQUA Magazine Executive Editor Scott Webb. “It is the highest honor in pool and spa retail.”

The application process was rigorous, requiring entrants to provide detailed information on company history, customer service, store design, digital presence, marketing and community involvement, complete with supporting documents. Applicants were judged by an independent panel of retail experts.

“Our family has pushed for more than 45 years to bring outdoor fun and comfort to Delmarva residents with backyard pools, spas and supplies. Being named with this honor just makes every bit of the effort worthwhile,” says Chris Anderson, who, along with his sister Nichole, has managed the company for decades.
