recognized by Fortune magazine as one of the top 100 places to work in 
America. Fortune magazine has recognized this excellent work 
environment for their employees, ranking The SCOOTER Store the 38th 
Best Place to Work in 2010. The SCOOTER Store was founded in New

and good values. And this is why, Mr. Speaker, I'm honored to have the 
time to recognize The SCOOTER Store for their ranking as the 38th Best 
Place to Work in 2010 by Fortune magazine.
