‘BEST OF THE BEST’
Fans have chosen their favorites in more than 65 categories
BY KAY JOHNSON johnson@hutchinsonleader.com
Customer satisfaction and customer referrals are two ways to measure effective customer service. The winners of the annual Hutchinson Leader Readers’ Choice Awards reflect this. These businesses go above and beyond what is expected to deliver goods and services to their customers.
Consistency and a commitment to
excellence is key. Local businesses — The HomeSource Store, American Family Insurance, Benny’s Meat Market, Jimmy’s Pizza, Kraft Walser Law Office and McCormick’s Family Restaurant — have all been named the winners in their categories year after year. Congratulations for a job well done. Curious to see if your favorites are the favorites of others? The results — winner and runner-up — were tabulated from voting in more than 65 categories. Share the Hutchinson Leader Readers’ Choice Awards special edi-
tion with friends and family. It’s a great topic of discussion — whether you agree or disagree with the results — it’s fun to hear what others have to say. On that note, enjoy!
— Kay Johnson

Voters selected Shaggy to Chic as the winner in the Favorite Pet Groomer/Boarding category. “This is my first time winning,” said Stephani Bonderson, owner of Shaggy to Chic. “... This award validates the dedication and hard work I put into making each pet feel good and each client feel they made the right decision to entrust me to groom their pet. Working one on one with each pet ensures they have the most calm and quiet environment possible and this award shows that it works.”
