The 2009 contest attracted nominations from a wide cross-section of businesses, including restaurants, hotels and several theaters. Ten finalists were selected based on exceptional hygiene, style and open access to the public.

“This contest is meant to be fun, but there’s also an important message, which is that restroom hygiene matters – for good health and good business,” said Cintas Senior Marketing Manager Keith Hartman. “Cintas is proud to honor the Shoji Tabuchi Theatre, and we congratulate all of our participants this year.”

Tens of thousands of votes were cast at the program’s web site, which produced the following results:

The Shoji Tabuchi Theatre received the coveted “America’s Best Restroom” plaque of recognition from Cintas during a special presentation, and secured its place in the “America’s Best Restroom Hall of Fame” found at www.bestrestroom.com.

“We believe these restrooms are the most elaborate and ornate anywhere,” says Theatre Manager Michael J. Frederick. “Each restroom represents 1,800 square feet of deliberate, one-of-a-kind elegance.”
