Sex toy retailer Babeland has won the prestigious Zagat Award for Top Service in New York City. Babeland beat out numerous competitors, including Oscar de la Renta, Harry Winston, and Van Cleef & Arpels.
The Top Service Award recognizes the best in retail customer service throughout New York City. Babeland also won the award for Top Quality Sex Shop. The awards were presented at a ceremony this morning at Bloomingdale's, on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
Responding to the announcement, Babeland co-founder Rachel Venning commented, "This is so flattering and it is great to be recognized. Congratulations to our sex educators and to the management team that supports them in doing what they do best, which is talk to people about sex."
"This award is special because it's Zagat, perhaps the most respected rating company, and it's New York, a city that loves to shop. I also know that the customers who shop in our Seattle and Los Angeles stores and at Babeland.com are treated to the same caring and helpful customer service."
Ana Moran, store manager for Babeland's Lower East Side store, added, "I'm so pleased to work for a company that promotes and celebrates sexual vitality in an honest and fun environment."
Babeland Marketing Coordinator Carolyn Ricardi, who attended the event, noted, "I think it's fair to say that Babeland was a highlight of the award ceremony, with Mr. & Mrs. Zagat singling out Babeland repeatedly in their introductory remarks and referring to Babeland throughout their presentation."
