2 Readers’ Choice – Thursday, January 21, 2016

Still haven’t found that perfect salon yet, you know, the one where stylists give you the cut you want, not the one they think you need?

Or what about the eye care center where they actually know your name and take the time to understand your eye health concerns? There is a lot of high-quality service out there and that’s one of the reasons we continue to highlight your selections through our annual Readers’ Choice Awards. Some of the best physicians, jewelers, salons, and attorneys provide their services right here in the Twin w Cities metro. It’s just a matter of connecting you with them.

This year marks the sixth anniversary of Sun Newspapers Readers’ Choice Awards and none of it is possible without you, our readers, who take the time to select and vote for your favorites in a variety of categories and community zones.

Each year, starting in 2010, we’ve provided you with a means for choosing your favorites from a list of categories in communities throughout our coverage areas. Yo ou could either identify your favorites from that list of categories that we published during the summer months in Sun Sailor, Sun Focus, Sun Current, Sun Post and Sun Thisweek papers or you could log onto local Sun websites (sailor.mnsun.com, current.mnsun.com, focus.mnsun.com, post. mnsun.com, sunthisweek.com) and cast your ballots there. Yo our next chance for voting will start again this coming June, so start thinking about all your favorite places and help them gain the extra attention they deserve.

All the winners for 2016 were chosen in the summer of 2015. And all 2017 winners will be chosen this summer.

There are a number of businesses that have earned your votes as the “best” in their category six years in a row, never missing a year. That is a true testament to the quality, effort and hard work of those businesses that they can stay at the top of their field for so many years.

We’ve included a sampling of some of the multiple year winners on this page. It is not a comprehensive list of all multiple-year winners, but a good representation from a wide area.

Elsewhere in this publication you will find the complete list of winners from your area.

Enjoy!
