Peter Glen Retailer of the Year - Urban Outfitters Inc.

The retail brands that make up Urban Outfitters Inc. – including Anthropologie, Free People and, of course, Urban Outfitters – are riding out the recession just fine, thank you. This alone makes them worthy of 2009’s Retailer of the Year Award, but it’s the company’s commitment to innovative, exciting and flat-out beautiful store design and visual merchandising that seals the deal. The store design directors for both Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters will be on hand to accept the award and make a presentation on Urban Outfitters Inc.’s design philosophy and its role in the company’s success.
