Cintas Corporation has opened voting for its 23rd annual America’s Best Restroom, and two c-stores—Hop Shops and Maverik—made the list of 10 finalists.
“We are thrilled to announce this year’s finalists, each showcasing a commitment to cleanliness, functionality and innovative design,” said John Rudy, senior director of marketing at Cintas. “Well-maintained facilities play a vital role in customer satisfaction and retention. These finalists excel in both hygiene and design to create an outstanding restroom experience for all.”
On the list is Hop Shops’ disco bathroom in Florence, Kentucky. The bathroom features a red button on the wall with a sign that says, “Do Not Push the Red Button.” If people do push the button, the lights go down, music plays, colorful lights come on and a disco ball spins. Each Hop Shops disco bathroom features a different song.
Hop Shops went viral for its bathroom on TikTok in 2023, and even hosted a disco bathroom wedding for customers this past Valentine’s Day.
Maverik also made the top 10. “Maverik’s restrooms deserve recognition for their commitment to cleanliness and comfort, with sparkling fixtures, spacious stalls and fresh amenities that make each pit stop along your adventure a pleasant experience. Maverik’s restrooms go the extra mile with touches like adventurous décor and even family-friendly features,” said Cintas.
Voting closes August 16. Other finalists include state parks, restaurants and stadium bathrooms among others.
