The National Mango Board revealed its winners for the 2012 Mango Mania Retail Display Contest.
Twenty-seven produce managers from small, independent retailers received cash prizes for the contest, which ran in July.
The contest was about more than earning a little extra cash, though.
“As a group, the stores that entered the contest more than doubled their mango volume over the same period in 2011, which really shows how powerful a creative display can be for moving mangos,” said William Watson, director of the Orlando-based National Mango Board, in a news release.
A full winner list, plus photos, is available at www.mango.org/contest.
