Awards

Over the years, The Paradies Shops has been recognized with many prestigious awards.  Always striving to be the best at whatever we do, from participating in the RFP process; to building and operating stores; to bringing innovative concepts and first-class service to our customers and business partners; and to taking care of our employees and treating them like a member of our family, the company is proud to have received top honors in many categories.

Among the many awards, one of the highest honors in the industry was bestowed on The Paradies Shops in February 2008 by Airport Revenue News, the airport’s leading industry publication, when it recognized The Paradies Shops as being the “Best Airport Retailer” for 13 consecutive years.
