NRF to Recognize Coradorables, a WBEC-West Certified Company, as ‘America’s Retail Champion’

Retailers were nominated by state retail associations and their peers based on engagement in public policy discussions. Forty-four retailers from 27 different states were selected as champions for the program and five were named as finalists. One small retailer will be named the 2024 America’s Retail Champion during NRF’s 2024 Retail Advocates Summit, the retail industry’s premier advocacy event, on July 25 in Washington, D.C.

“Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy and are at the heart of every Main Street throughout the country,” NRF Executive Vice President of Government Relations David French said. “The 2024 America’s Retail Champion honorees represent the breadth and depth that the retail industry offers to millions of customers on a daily basis.”

Dr. Pamela Williamson, CEO/President of WBEC-West, commented, “We are thrilled to see Coradorables recognized as one of America’s Retail Champions. This honor reflects the hard work, dedication, and advocacy of women-owned businesses. Cora Spearman’s commitment to influencing public policy and supporting the business community in Hawaii sets a remarkable example. We at WBEC-West are incredibly proud of her achievements and look forward to her continued success.”

The overwhelming majority of retailers are small businesses, with more than 98 percent of all retail companies employing fewer than 50 people. This year’s America’s Retail Champions program is sponsored by Affirm, the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth.
