A decade ago, the Forsyth County News embarked on a journey to spotlight the extraordinary and the downright exceptional businesses that make our community thrive. This year is not just another year of accolades – it’s our 10th anniversary! In the pages that follow, we invite you to immerse yourself in a celebration of resilience, innovation and the unwavering spirit that defines the Best of Forsyth. For a decade, we have witnessed businesses transform challenges into opportunities, dreams into realities and aspirations into triumphs. As you flip through the pages of this milestone edition, let us not only honor the current champions, but also reflect on the remarkable evolution that has shaped our local business landscape over the past 10 years. The Best of Forsyth is not merely a magazine; it’s a chronicle of dedication, a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit that beats at the heart of Forsyth County. Join us in commemorating a decade of excellence – a decade of pushing boundaries, breaking molds, and creating legacies. Here’s to the businesses that have not only stood the test of time but have also illuminated our community with their brilliance. The Forsyth County News would like to thank you all for your participation, whether this is your first time or your 10th time, your accomplishment is one to be proud of. This event is one of our favorite things we do each year and is one of the avenues that allow us to continue to provide local journalism for our community. We would especially like to thank Beaver Toyota for being the presenting sponsor of the event for the third year in a row. A special thanks also to all of the businesses that sponsor and continue to support this event each year and help make it what it is. Cheers to a decade of inspiration, aspiration and the incredible journey that lies ahead as we continue to honor the Best of Forsyth! Wishing you all the best in 2024, Stephanie Woody Publisher

BEAVER TOYOTA
‘You give to the community; the community gives back to you.’ Beaver Toyota says community, partnerships vital to success By Kelly Whitmire kwhitmire@forsythnews.com Like the vehicles they sell, it takes a lot of work and moving parts to keep Beaver Toyota of Cumming running. Beaver Toyota, winner of the 2023 Best of Forsyth awards for Best New Car Dealership, Best Used Car Dealership and Place to Work, has made a big impression on Forsyth County since opening in 2017 by becoming one of the area’s most popular dealerships and staying involved in the local community. General Manager Patrick Abad said taking care of customers, supporting employees and community involvement have been a few of the reasons for the dealership’s success in recent years. “I would say that the main thing that we are focusing on, and we continue to focus on, is how do we continue to push forward and make things better for our consumers, not just our employees,” Abad said. “But we know that we do it first for our employees, they’ll do it for the customers. So, I would say that has been a big catalyst for us and will continue to be.” Located on Buford Highway, Beaver doesn’t just offer new and used vehicles but also offers vehicle service, collision repair and more to keep customers on the road. At Beaver, customers can experience more than just a dealership, as there are several amenities onsite to enjoy. Along with purchasing new vehicles and servicing existing ones, customers at Beaver can grab a bite at the dealership’s café, purchase accessories for their vehicle, spend some time in a customer lounge with TVs and board games, get some work done and even get a new style at Salon Nuvo, Beaver’s own hair and nail salon. “I would say that we have never shaken off our foundation of taking care of our customers,” Abad said. “We’re firm believers that that is going to be our success.” Abad said that treating customers right has led to the company having one of the highest customer retention rates in the southeast and Georgia’s top franchise dealer among all brands, selling more than 3,600 vehicles and doing $340 million in total sales revenue in 2023. “There’s not another dealership that sells more new and used cars than we do in the state of Georgia,” he said. Along with the amenities in the building, Beaver Toyota also works to support all manner of community groups and projects, including local law enforcement, programming in schools, hosting events for local veterans, supporting the Forsyth County Animal Shelter and more. Every October, Beaver also donates a portion of each vehicle sold to Bulldogs Battling Breast Cancer to help fight breast cancer through early detection and assistance for patients dealing with the disease. Beaver also hosts an annual charity golf tournament, and Abad said $160,000 was raised at their most recent event and went back into the community. Abad said that while the business does a lot in the community, he believes it is a two-way street. “We support the community, but we get it back in return, like winning the Best of Forsyth,” he said. “You give to the community; the community gives back to you. It’s funny because Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, one of the things they said to me when I first came on board was, they want to win these awards. They want the community to think of us a certain way and it shows that if we take care of them, they’ll take care of us.” While Beaver Toyota has made a big splash in the community in recent years, the company is planning to continue to grow, even offering new types of vehicles. In 2023, the company received approval for the proposed Beaver Mazda dealership, which will be located right beside the Toyota dealer. Forsyth County News
“What a lot of people don’t understand about getting a dealership like that is you don’t just go out and buy it and say, ‘I’ve got land, and I want to buy a dealership,’ the manufacturer has to actually give it to you,” Abad said. “You have to earn it from the manufacturer, and I think some of the things like the customer retention, the employees, some of our processes that are good for the customers, our community partnerships, those are the things that they look at.” Currently, with more than 250 employees, Abad said Beaver was already the sixth-largest employer in Forsyth County. The Mazda dealership, which is set to open in 2025, would add another 100 jobs to the community and could make Beaver one of the county’s top five employers.

BOTTOM: Along with new and used vehicles, Beaver Toyota of Cumming also offers amenities including lounges, a café and a new hair and nail salon called Salon Nuvo.
“I think when you take them combined,” Abad said. “Beaver looks to create a really big impact, not just this year, but all the years to come and to continue to grow in this community and take care of this community.” Abad added that “when you’re a successful business, you can’t be successful without the community,” and encouraged other business leaders to get involved with their customer base and give back. “I would challenge all the businesses in the coming years to give back to this wonderful community that we live in,” Abad said. “It’s great, right? There’s good people, it’s safe. We have a great community, I challenge all the businesses to push back into the community and help us all thrive together and support each other.” BEST OF FORSYTH 2024 | 27

Brad and I love Friendly Auto. We’ve bought 2 cars from here now. We went today and bought our second vehicle from here and Lisa was great!! She really listened to what we needed and help us get an even better deal, on a better vehicle then we originally went for. They have great teamwork and are very easy to talk to. We live an hour and half away so we picked our vehicle out online and filled out the application, the process was very easy we were already approved when we got there. We highly recommend going and seeing Lisa. — Brooke Stalker I bought a 2016 Ford Edge from them. Jennifer was amazing!!! She keeps it up front and honest with you from the start!! She did everything I wanted in order to buy a new used car!!! I will definitely come back to them to get another car when that time comes!! I absolutely love my new used car!!!!! This was the best used car dealership I have been too ever!!!! — PJ Faucher Great experience and these folks also offer consignment to sell cars for private party owners!
