Judging Process
The Scottish Grocer team will collect together all entries into the Awards for this year to begin the shortlisting process for the awards. Six stores will be selected per award category that will each be visited by a team of Scottish Grocer judges. This will include a representative from the Scottish Grocer, a representative from the category sponsor as well as a third independent judge.
After the judging process concludes, the three will then deliberate on the stores they visited to choose two highly commended stores that performed exceedingly well in the category as well as one outright winner. The three finalists will then be revealed shortly after the judging process concludes before the winner is announced on the evening of the Scottish Grocer Awards 2024.
