Thank you for voting us as
Best in the Northland!
We sell Sealy and Sterns & Foster and Memory Foam mattresses at the lowest prices in the country.
HOW WE CAN SELL THEM
SO CHEAP :
When major retailers receive a load of high-end mattresses everything has to be perfect including the plastic they are shipped in. No scuffs, no marks‌.no anything. When a customer pays thousands of dollars for a mattress they want everything perfect including the plastic bag. When the retailers or customers deny these mattresses they are shipped back to the manufacturing plant and we buy them all by the truck load.

Winning is the best — and you made the call Northlanders know what they like, and inside this section you’ll find the Best of the Northland as picked by the most qualified judges: the people who live, work, shop, volunteer, relax and play here. For the past 24 years, Northland newspaper readers have voted for their favorite businesses, people and organizations north of the river. This spring, we received thousands of ballots — both those filled out by hand and those submitted online — from Liberty to Platte City, from North Kansas City to Kearney, from Gladstone to Smithville, and everywhere in between. We tallied your picks for Gold, Silver and Bronze in 135 categories, and we’ve spent our summer contacting those winners. Our best efforts went into tracking down each one, but a few remain elusive. Still, we wanted to stay true to the writein votes of our readers, so teachers Stow and Hoggard, and any others we might not have been able to shake hands with in
person, congratulations wherever you are. This section is part winners list, part directory of services and part thank-you note to loyal Northland patrons. On Page 45, we’ve highlighted the Best-Kept Secret — it’s a category voters really ran with this year. Best of the Northland banners displayed by winners have become a common sight, so even after you finish reading this list, you’ll be able to easily identify these recommended establishments when you’re out and about. (You can also find a copy of this section online at www.BestOfTheNorthland.net.) In addition to the community accolades they receive, the winners will be treated to a reception at Conrad’s Restaurant & Alehouse, a winner itself. We thank magician Todd Lamanske for providing entertainment for the evening. We hope you, our readers and Best of the Northland voters, will also share the
excitement of all our winners by congratulating those you already know and do business with, and checking out those who you might not be familiar with yet. Then when ballots appear in the paper and online next spring, you’ll be ready to cast your vote. In the off season, keep up with all of this year’s and past winners on the Best of the Northland Facebook page.

Best-Kept Secret of the Northland The Running Well Store “Not your typical running shoe store” is the best way to describe this year’s Best-Kept Secret winner. The Running Well Store, 6106 NW Barry Road in Kansas City, is a running specialty store that combines science and comfort to give runners the best shoe to their fit. When entering the store, customers can spend 20 seconds on a treadmill for a stride analysis that biomechanically tests an individual’s foot alignment. “The original owner felt that stride analysis was beneficial (to runners) because most people will go into big-box stores, find any shoe, put it on for maybe 3 minutes, and that’s it,” said Rita Truelove, store manager. “Knowing biomechanically what you are doing is the key for finding everyone’s perfect running shoe.” Owner Kathy Gates swears by putting customers through stride analysis testing in order to ensure safety and healthy running. “I think that it’s important for runners to understand really what they’re doing,” Gates said. “Understanding who they are as a runner to stay injury free and making sure our customers are running well — healthy running is part of that knowledge base.” The store carries 15 shoe brands, including the big six — Brooks, Saucony, Asics, Mizuno, Nike and New Balance — with prices ranging from $89 to $200. There are always opportunities to buy brand-name shoes at a discounted price with shoe sales ranging from

40 to 70 percent off. “Because we’re a small business, we have to be careful about inventory and bringing new (products), but we really do keep pulse on what our clientele want and ask for,” Truelove said. The Running Well Store welcomes both experienced and novice runners. “We pride ourselves in being approachable to newbie runners,” Gates said. “We don’t want to be intimidating, and we want to be ale to speak to athletes whether they walk or jog or are just trying to get into shape.” Gate prides herself in the success of the store and the hard work and dedication from her staff. “I think it’s important to really celebrate small businesses,” she said. “It’s a huge honor to know you get a lot of service and knowledge base, because it’s our livelihood. I’m glad to be recognized for our hard work.” The Running Well Store is open seven days a week: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday; and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
