While all cooperating listees will be asked for specific numbers and figures, readers must keep in mind that because the great majority of retail companies are privately held, they are under no obligation to disclose financial data.

In the case of non-disclosure, we will refer to information publicly available and gather this information from the retailer’s official websites, personal channels, and published articles in the past year.

We will review responses for consistency and use whatever resources we have at our disposal to ensure accuracy.

Listees are given the option of being interviewed personally by our editorial staff.

RetailME Icons is put together by RetailME’s editorial team and a selected board of jury. If our team has reached out to a nominee or their staff regarding the shortlist, the listing will be done under our discretion.
