“This Pop-up Experience and Design award recognizes the very best in our industry, which develop original and visually enticing in-store or out-of-store experiences, with the goal of increasing brand awareness, testing a new store concept and driving customers to a specific location,“ said Diane J. Brisebois, President and CEO, Retail Council of Canada. “Retail in Canada needs creative and innovative leaders, like Purolator, to drive future success for the market.” Purolator’s Mobile Quick Stops – the first of their kind in Canada – are retail outlets on wheels.
