Pools of Fun Inducted into the Aqua 100

Pools of Fun is proud to announce it has been inducted into the AQUA 100, an exclusive honor bestowed to just 10 North American pool and spa retailers each year.

The AQUA 100, presented by AQUA Magazine, is an industry-leading competition designed to honor excellence in the pool and spa retail. In light of the adversity specialty retailers of all kinds have faced over the past decade — the rise of online shopping, the pressure of a recession, and, this past year, the

global pandemic — the AQUA 100 honors the diamonds of excellence that have not only survived but thrived, proving once and for all the spirit of brick-and-mortar businesses will carry on.

“To win an independently judged, national contest like the AQUA 100 is a real achievement,” says AQUA Magazine Executive Editor Scott Webb. “It is the highest honor in the pool and spa retail.”

The application process was rigorous, requiring entrants to provide detailed information on company history, customer service, store design, digital presence, marketing, and community involvement, complete with supporting documents. Applicants were judged by an independent panel of retail experts.

“As we celebrate our 40th Anniversary, we are proud to be honored with the Aqua 100 award. We will continue to provide the highest level of service to our clients, as we have for the past 40 years,” commented Pools of Fun President, Tim Colon.
