Help Find the Hottest Shopkeeper in New York City

Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

It's hot out there, and it's only going to get hotter, which means it's almost time for us to officially crown the hottest shopkeeper in all of New York City. Of course, we can't do it without your help. Do you know someone you think is the hottest person in New York City retail? Do you have a secret crush on a Hollister hunk or a mustachioed Freeman Sporting Club employee? Is your BFF someone who works behind a cash register and deserves some public recognition? Heck, are you a publicist with a hot client who owns a store? Send us an email at tips@racked.com.

Details: Nominations are due by this Friday, July 22. You are very much welcome to nominate yourself. If you don't know the person's name, tell us the store and a vague description and we'll do the detective work. On the other hand, if you have a photo available, please do send it over. The winner will walk away with personal glory, fame for his or her place of work, and the title of Hottest Shopkeep 2011.
