Worker At Eagan Business Wins 'Retail Employee Of The Year'

EAGAN, MN — A worker at Frame Minnesota in Eagan has won Retail Employee of the Year as part of The Minnesota Retailers Association's 2021 Minnesota’s Retail Champions program.

Shelby Studanski will accept her award at the Retail Rally event Oct. 5 in Golden Valley, the association said.

"My favorite thing about working retail is that I get to collaborate with people to enhance and preserve their precious memories and keepsakes," Studanski, designer and head framer at Frame Minnesota, said. "I work with customers to figure out what they are looking for and then make their vision come true. No two days are the same working here. Thanks to the owner, Tami, I’ve learned about all the facets of running a small business. Best of all I get to be an artist while making customers happy. It’s very satisfying when your job involves what you are passionate about."

Nine retailers and industry partners total won awards, according to the association.

"Minnesota has so many amazing retail employees, however Shelby stands out among the most talented," Bruce Nustad, Minnesota Retailers Association president, said. "Spend just a few minutes talking with Shelby and you will realize she absolutely loves working with customers and Frame Minnesota provides her the perfect opportunity to put her passion for art and skills to work. Shelby is one of those people that make your day a little brighter just by interacting
with her. We appreciate the high bar that Shelby sets when it comes to service to customers and are so pleased to name her Minnesota’s Retail Employee of the Year."
