The Chip Group is delighted to announce that 51 stores across New Zealand will receive Highly Commended Chips awards, and with it the title of Regional Finalists in the Best Chip Shop Competition.
The Highly Commended Chips Award recognises stores whose chips (potato of course) have 9% or less fat content! Well done to these operators for minimising their fat content by following the Chip Group’s Industry Standards and training guidelines.
All 51 stores will now be visited by mystery shoppers to assess how amazing their chips are, and whether the store is worthy of the prestigious title Best Chip Shop 2017.
They mystery shoppers scores will be used to select 1 store per region to become the Regional Winner. They will then be reassessed for the prestigious title of Best Chips Shop 2017.
Later this month we’ll announce the Regional Winners. The Grand National Winner and Bidfood People’s Choice Best Chips Award will be presented at the Potatoes New Z
ealand Awards Dinner in Pukekohe on July 26.
