Christmas trade is over and it is time to talk business.  The Fresh Tastes team have collected and tallied up all the mytsery shopping results from 2008 and the TOP 25 finalist list has been decided.  These stores, listed below, will be in contention for Retailer of the Year (ROY) announced on 13 March at the annual Brisbane Produce Market Gala Dinner.

General mystery shopping was completed between May and December last year. Stores received two reports over this period and combined with points allocated for participation at Ekka (either by presenting a cooking show or sponsoring a kids cooking class) or attending the first development session, the finalists were determined.

Congratulations to:
