Beginning in December, IGA SVPs Doug Fritsch and Dave Bennett will join CEO Mark Batenick in visiting each of the finalists' stores to get a firsthand feel for how they serve their communities. Information gathered from those visits will help IGA determine which three finalists will be honored as IGA USA International Retailers of the Year along with their global counterparts at the IGA Global Rally in Orlando, Fla., in March.
