"While we may not have won the top prize, we can all take pride in the fact that we made it to the final stages of such a prestigious competition.

"I know that we were all hoping to take home the top prize, but even being named second is a huge accomplishment that we should all be proud of.

"We will continue to strive for excellence in everything we do, and I have no doubt that with the continued support of our amazing staff and customers, we will achieve even greater things in the future.
