CISCO Sarasota Takes the Trophy: 18 Five-Star Reviews Crown Them Q1 2026 Google Star Cup Champions
The votes are in, the stars are counted, and the flooring industry has its very first 2026 Google 5-Star Rating Contest winner. From all of us at Shoreline Flooring Supplies, a hats-off goes out to our friends at CISCO Flooring Supplies, whose Sarasota team didn’t just win the quarter — they ran away with it.
Eighteen brand-new five-star Google reviews in the first quarter alone. The next closest location landed at 9, which means SAR doubled up the entire field. That kind of performance doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when a team shows up every day, treats every customer like the most important person in the building, and does the little things that turn a transaction into a relationship.
What Is the Google Star Cup?
For anyone unfamiliar with the competition, here’s the quick rundown. Every quarter, all of CISCO’s locations go head-to-head to see who can earn the most new five-star Google reviews from happy customers. Every new five-star rating posted during the quarter equals one point. At the end of the three-month race, the totals are tallied and a champion is crowned.
The winning location takes home the traveling “Google Star Cup” trophy — a hardware bragging right that rotates from winner to winner — along with a catered team lunch on the house and a featured spotlight across CISCO’s newsletter and social channels. It’s friendly competition done right, and exactly the kind of culture-builder our industry could use more of.
Why Sarasota Ran Away With It
Eighteen reviews in 90 days is no small feat. That’s a steady drumbeat of customers walking out the door happy enough to stop, pull out their phones, and tell the world about it. It reflects a team that consistently delivers real expertise — flooring and construction aren’t one-size-fits-all, and the Sarasota crew clearly knows the products inside and out. It reflects genuine hospitality, from the first “hi” at the counter to the last handoff on the loading dock — a friendly, professional experience from start to finish. And it reflects follow-through, because the best reviews come from customers who felt taken care of long after they left the shop.
Every one of those 18 reviews represents a customer whose day was made a little easier because of that team. That’s something worth celebrating, no matter whose logo is on the door.
A Tip of the Cap From Shoreline
To the entire CISCO Sarasota crew — congratulations from your friends at Shoreline Flooring Supplies. You’ve set the bar for 2026, and you did it with style. The Google Star Cup looks right at home in your location, and that catered lunch is well earned. Great service raises the standard for everyone in the industry — and you’ve done exactly that this quarter.
Cheers to 18 five-star reviews, and to the customers who took the time to write them.
