Japanese term or phrase: がんばる商店街７７選

This is a program established to support regional revitalization, in line with the various 百選 that Japan has (e.g. 日本の道100選 , かおり風景100選 , etc.）

I think it sounds pretty cool (!) in Japanese so I'd like to retain that feeling in the English translation if possible...

any suggestions?

77 Great Open Malls - Doing Better Every Day!

Explanation:
I love advertising slogans because of the license we have to capture the spirit of the language and to convey the message of the slogan within a broader range of its nuances. My suggestion is one of many possible good alternatives though it is restricted by space limitations.
