Storerotica Magazine Announces Storerotica Awards Nominees

CLEARWATER, Fla.—Storerotica Magazine, the national trade publication for the owners and operators of adult retail stores and lingerie boutiques, has announced the nominees for the 5th Annual Storerotica Awards. This year’s Storerotica Awards continue the magazine’s tradition of recognizing outstanding achievement in all areas of the erotic retail industry.

This year marks the first time that the Storerotica Awards will be presented at the ANME Founders Show.

“Individually, each of our nominees deserves appreciation for their continued excellence throughout the course of the past year," said Kristofer Kay, editor of Storerotica Magazine. “But collectively, they all reflect just how multifaceted and dynamic our industry has become. We salute each nominee and look forward to honoring the winners at this year’s ANME Founders Show.”

In addition to its traditional categories, Storerotica has created four new ones to be introduced at this year’s ceremony: Fetish Company of the Year, Lubricant Company of the Year, Sexual Enhancement Company of the Year and Marketing Campaign of the Year. 

“By adding new awards alongside our existing categories, we are able to distinguish more organizations that add to the overall success of today’s brick and mortar retailer,” Kay says. “Storerotica is committed to honoring the best in our industry, and the Storerotica Awards have been a culmination of that effort for the past five years.”

Nominees for this year’s awards were tabulated by the editorial staff of Storerotica Magazine and through the suggestions of Storerotica readers via the online pre-nomination ballot. Winners for The 5th Annual Storerotica Awards will be presented on Monday evening, July 11, during the evening cocktail party at the ANME Founders Show taking place inside the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel.

The Storerotica Awards also recognize the intimate apparel portion of the industry too.  Those trophies will be handed out later this year at another industry event.
