NOVEMBER 26, 2009 – SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT
And the winners are... … the entire Peninsula community! If wealth can be measured by compassion, customer loyalty, professionalism and top-flight service, Point Loma and Ocean Beach can be considered rich beyond measure, as evidenced by this year’s Peninsula Beacon Readers Choice Awards 2009. When it comes to the breadth of retail offerings at all ends of the spectrum, a stellar canvass of critical and elective services and a host of health and beauty options that contribute to wellbeing and a sense of self-betterment, we let you, the reader, choose the best of the best in our vibrant slice of America’s Finest City. The awards spilling over the following pages recognize the people and places that make our unique beach communities what they are. Some of the winners will likely come as no surprise after forging a lengthy track record of consistency and customer service in the community. Others with a lower profile have likewise proven themselves to be valuable business contributors and a Mecca for excellence and alternative choices. Just as important, the nominees and winners were chosen by our loyal readership, which we value so highly. Take a look inside at this year’s Peninsula Beacon Readers Choice Awards — a true insider’s judgment of the merchants and service providers who are the backbone of the Peninsula’s exceptional business community.
