Welcome to the 2024 Reader’s Choice Awards!
Business is an essential part of the fabric of our Midland community.
Midland is home to Fortune 100 industry leaders, a thriving community of entrepreneurs, familyrun legacies, a variety of unique retailers and restaurants, and a growing group of innovative startups that are blazing new trails in their industries.
Businesses are where we work, where we shop, where we get our health concerns treated and where we treat ourselves with a delicious meal or that must-have new gadget. We are so fortunate that we have so many local businesses that have earned our trust, loyalty and continued support.
There is a lot to like about the shops, restaurants and service providers that call Midland their home. That’s why the Daily News, and our dedicated readers, recognize local businesses through the Readers’ Choice Awards. This is our chance to spotlight our favorites!
Every year we ask readers to help us identify the best of the best in the Midland business community. Today, in this magazine, you will learn about this year’s winners.
Use this magazine throughout the year when you are considering big projects – like landscaping or getting a new roof – and when you are making smaller decisions, like where you want to go for dinner.
Grab a second copy and share that one with your family and friends. Help us spread the word about all the excellent shopping and dining opportunities there are in Midland. Who knows, maybe they open their own shop here and earn their own Readers’ Choice Award.
excellent shopping
The Daily News wants to offer a big THANK YOU to all of our readers for your participation. Without your help, this magazine would not be possible.
To all the winners and finalists, on behalf of the Daily News and its readers, we thank you and congratulate you on being recognized for your excellence.
We hope you enjoy the 2024 Readers Choice Awards!
