Richard’s Total Backyard Solutions #1 In North America in Aqua Magazine

Houston, Texas (3/11/2020) — Richard’s Total Backyard Solutions is proud to announce it has been inducted into the AQUA 100, an exclusive honor bestowed to just 10 North American pool and spa retailers each year. 

The AQUA 100, presented by AQUA Magazine, is an industry-leading competition designed to honor excellence in pool and spa retail. In light of the adversity specialty retailers of all kinds have faced over the past decade — the rise of online shopping, the pressure of a recession — the AQUA 100 honors the diamonds of excellence that have not only survived, but thrived, proving once and for all the spirit of brick-and-mortar businesses will carry on.

“The level of professionalism exemplified by the AQUA 100 candidates, year after year, just amazes me,” says AQUA Magazine Executive Editor Scott Webb. “These companies represent the very best of our industry. Each year, our independent panel of judges has the difficult job of selecting just 10 winners.”

The application process was rigorous, requiring entrants to provide detailed information on company history, customer service, store design, digital presence, marketing and community involvement, complete with supporting documents. Applicants were judged by an independent panel of retail experts. 

“We are honored and proud to be part of this amazing Aqua 100 milestone!” –Cristina Nikolov
