In the catagory of Specialty Store over 25,000 sqaure feet, Reeve was honored with Outstanding Merit for its work on REI's Puck Building Store, in the SoHo district of New York City.

In the category of Hardline Specialty Store 3,001 to 7,500 sqaure feet, Reeve was awarded the Grand Prize, for its work on the Sony Leap store located in Westfield Centrury City, Los Angeles. Reeve's store fixtures were used to help create an open, colorful modern space that is both modular and easily reconfigurable.

Additionally, Reeve won the Store Fixture Award in the Individual Element category for its work on the merchandising walls of the Sony Leap store. The store concept features moveable interior walls that can be reconfigured and a perimeter wall system that can be easily re-merchandized.

"Reeve is once again very honored to be recognized by A.R.E. for our work in creating innovative store fixture solutions," said Robert Frackelton, Vice President of Reeve."We look forward to continuing to supply and collaborate with some of the best store architect and design fims in the world."
