Dunedin's top shop has failed to impress judges at the Retail New Zealand Top Shop Awards.

The Spark store in George Street was named the top shop for Otago and Southland in September.

But it was beaten by an Auckland store in the national finals.

Most of the overall winners were from Auckland, with the supreme award going to a shoe shop in Newmarket.

The Dunedin telecommunications store was one of five regional winners vying for the supreme title.

Retail New Zealand holds the national awards every two years.

Much of the judging is based on the experiences of mystery shoppers who visit all nominated businesses.
