HAT Top 50 Retail Stars for 2006

Trying to define a Star of any kind is tough, as true in retail as any place. The Star store has its own distinct personality, usually a strong entrepreneurial owner who puts his or her stamp firmly on the product mix, the merchandising and the store's role in the community. This year, the Home Accents Today's 50 Stars share all of these characteristics, but also are fiercely independent in their approaches to retailing.
