Chickie’s & Pete’s was named 2013-14 Merchant of the Year as part of the Philadelphia Marketplace Food & Shops EDGE awards program.
The sports bar has been a Philadelphia staple for decades. It’s known for zesty cuisine and a fun atmosphere, according to Marketplace officials.
As part of the award, managers Anna Doucoure and Glenn Mosher were awarded $1,000 and the EDGE! Trophy. The Philadelphia Marketplace’s Cutting EDGE! Program (Excellence Drives Great Experiences) was designed to motivate and reward merchants for providing great customer service to passengers at Philadelphia International (PHL).
“Chickie’s & Pete’s is recognized by travelers and locals as a Philly staple, but tonight we honor them for their commitment to their team and airport visitors,” says Mel Hannah, vice president and general manager for MarketPlace Philadelphia Management, which handles management and leasing for the airport’s 160 food and retail locations.
