This year, Borders was awarded the "Best Specialty Retail Brand Operator" and "Retailer with Highest Regard for Customer Service" by Airport Revenue News (ARN), a leading publication for airport executives, concessionaires and others involved in the aviation industry. Previously Borders was awarded the "Airport Revenue News Best Concessions" prize in 2006 for the "Large Retailer Division," and in 2005, second place in the categories of "Best Airport Retailer" and "Retailer with the Highest Regard for Customer Service." In 2004, the Borders airport store division was named "Best Retail Specialty Brand Operator," and in 2003, ARN recognized Borders as the "2003 Best New Specialty Retail Concept," almost immediately after the first Borders-branded airport store opened in 2002.
