GLADSTONE July 28, 2016 — The ReSALE SHOP Operated by Assistance League of Kansas City has been selected for the 2016 Best of Gladstone Award in the Thrift Store category by the Gladstone Award Program.
Each year, the Gladstone Award Program identifies companies that we believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and our community. These exceptional companies help make the Gladstone area a great place to live, work and play.
Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2016 Gladstone Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the Gladstone Award Program and data provided by third parties.
