>>  WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (Aug. 13, 2007) - Today's Garden Center® Magazine 
>>  today announced the launch of TGC's Revolutionary 100 Garden 
>>  Centers for 2008. Those interested in being considered for the list 
>>  can take the online survey at www.todaysgardencenter.com.
>>
>>
>>  The program, now in its third year, surveys garden center owners 
>>  and managers and culminates in a listing of the 100 most 
>>  revolutionary garden centers - 20 in each of five national regions. 
>>  It is open to all garden centers, large and small, and is based on 
>>  leadership and innovation, not on size or revenue.
>>
>>
>>  "In the garden center industry, there is a ranking focused on 
>>  dollars that also includes big-box retailers," says Richard Jones, 
>>  Group Editor of Today's Garden Center. "We decided we would create 
>>  a definitive report focused solely on independent garden centers 
>>  that would give single-location retailers equal weight with larger 
>>  independent chains. In our first two years, the response has been 
>>  tremendous."
>>
>>
>>  Garden center owners and managers across the United States fill out 
>>  the online questionnaire covering topics such as employee training, 
>>  industry involvement, profitability, marketing, use of technology, 
>>  purchasing, and customer and community service. The entrants are 
>>  ranked according to a point system, and the 100 top entries make 
>>  the list.
>>
>>
>>  The online survey is posted at www.todaysgardencenter.com. The 
>>  survey deadline will be October 12 and the top 100 rankings will be 
>>  listed in the January issue ofToday's Garden Center magazine.
