Congratulations Shanon Materio!!

Shanon Materio is the Florida Retail Federation's RETAILER OF THE YEAR! A spectacular honor for our Lake Worth businesswoman and owner of the McMow Art Glass gallery. The article also details the efforts of the entire Materio family, husband Phil and the children, in the success of their outstanding glass gallery and workshop. From the article:
McMow Art Glass’ family atmosphere and durability are how the 37-year-old North Dixie Highway business netted Materio, a West Palm Beach city commissioner, the Florida Retail Federation’s retailer of the year award.

Materio beat out 47 nominees from across the state, impressing a panel with her community service and adaptability to industry changes, said the federation’s communications director John E. Fleming. The federation awarded her a trophy on June 20, admitted her as a member and gave her a scholarship to its $4,000, six-month program touring various retailers throughout Florida.

Her political title didn’t help her win and wasn’t on her application, Fleming said.

“Shanon stood head and shoulders above the other entries this year,” he said. “It exemplifies why we think retail is the best industry.”
Melissa Howell at WPEC recently did a story that featured Shanon Materio. You can watch that story here

The next time you see Shanon, Phil or any of the Materio family make sure you give them a big hearty congratulations!
