SAP (www.sap.com) is proud to sponsor the annual Top 100 Retailers edition of STORES Magazine. As the authoritative ranking of the largest U.S.-based retail companies by annual revenues, the Top 100 is the most widely recognized and respected symbol of achievement for the nation’s elite retailers. SAP congratulates these retailers on their outstanding accomplishments.

SAP is quickly becoming the de facto standard software foundation for best-run retailers. We have been helping large and medium retailers achieve the insight and agility they need to thrive in today’s highly competitive market. As the world’s leading provider of business software solutions and with more than 30 years of experience, SAP is a recognized industry leader. I’m proud to note that many of the Top 100 Retailers are SAP customers, and we appreciate our relationship with them.

With its listing of headquarters, annual revenues, earnings and store counts, the SAP Top 100 is an invaluable guide to the best and brightest in the retail industry. I know you will use it throughout the year as a ready reference. Congratulations to all!

Best regards,

Chris Verheuvel
