Macey’s chosen as Business of the year The Chamber Business of the Year Award recognizes a business that has made an impact on our community through their business expertise and community service. The award is judged on the businesses ability to demonstrate excellence in business practices through sales, quality of service, customer service, leadership and community involvement. The 2010 Tooele County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year is Macey’s Food & Drug. Macey’s is a great place to shop for many reasons including their great service, competitive prices, and community involvement. When you walk into Macey’s you are not a customer, but a guest. Macey’s is very proud to sponsor and participate in many community events such as a $1 “all you can eat” pancake breakfast and all the proceeds go to the Special Education Department at Tooele High School, Armed Forces Day, Kids Safety Fair, and helping support the Chamber of Commerce with various events. Macey’s is very community oriented so they expanded their floral business to accommodate prom, homecoming, and Mother’s Day boutonniere and corsage orders so that you can shop locally. It is with great pride that the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce presents the 2010 Business of the Year to Macey’s Food & Drug.

This year the Chamber received many notable nominations and this year’s winner was nominated by more than one individual. We would like to honor Mr. Ed Dalton as the Tooele County Chamber of Commerce 2010 Citizen of the year. Ed has a passion for education and has a vision for educational opportunities in Tooele County.

Ed Dalton is certainly a great asset to our county. The Chamber is proud to present the 2010 Citizen of the Year Award to this educator and wonderful member of our community.
