We’re firm believers in supporting local, and we hope you are, too. Want to know who’s the best of the best when it comes to products and services in Berks? Read on to meet your 2023 People’s Choice leaders. Big or small, all are committed to “doing it right” and putting their customers first. The leaders on the following pages are selected by YOU and are a testament to how Berks businesses are giving their best despite any challenge put in front of them.

With the help of the independent marketing firm, FieldGoals.US, an email survey from the company was sent, polling Berks consumers about whom they see as the leading company in 75 business categories. The survey identifies the region’s Leaders in a variety of categories as determined by Berks County residents and the results represent which businesses voters see fit to receive the People’s Choice Leader designation for 2023.

We’re thrilled that you’ve named Berks County Living as your leading local magazine once again this year. Thank you! And we congratulate those businesses recognized as the best in their class in this year’s People’s Choice Who’s Who in Business program.
