Al Brodeur’s Auto Body Named Small Business of the Year by Marlborough Chamber

Congratulations to Al Brodeur’s Auto Body for being named Small Business of the Year by the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce during its recent Heroes Among Us celebration. “I was really flabbergasted,” exclaimed Molly Brodeur, who knew her business was nominated but was completely taken aback by the announcement at the event. “I was not expecting to win. It was really an honor. We’ve been in business for 52 years, and it was nice to have fellow business owners acknowledge us like that.”

Molly was happy that her father, Al Brodeur (the shop’s namesake and founder of the business), was also in attendance, enabling them to accept the award together. Molly took over the operation in 2017 when her father retired. Molly was proud to be part of this event as the program also paid homage to all the doctors, nurses and emergency workers in the community. Additionally, the chamber acknowledged the struggles local businesses faced over the past two years. “There was an overriding theme about what businesses dealt with and how the business community came together to support each other throughout the pandemic.” Each year, the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce Al Brodeur and Molly Brodeur pose with puts together a nominating committee to establish a slate of their Small Business of the Year trophy. nominees for its annual awards. Members of the chamber vote, and the results aren’t revealed until the event. “The other nominees were also longstanding businesses in the community, so it was really an honor to be acknowledged this way,” she added.
