So far, we’ve released the winners of our Arts & Entertainment and Community & Personalities categories. Next up is our Retail & Services section of the annual Best of Grand Rapids readers survey.
In case you haven’t heard by now, this year, we changed things up. Instead of naming winners and finalists, we’re celebrating things a little differently—because with so many close races (and plenty of ties), we think it’s fair to say: you’re all winners.
Want to see the full list across all categories? Grab a copy at Meijer, Schuler Books, D&W, Barnes & Noble, Family Fare, but hurry. The Best of Grand Rapids issue tends to fly off shelves fast! Check Newsstand Outlets for a full list of retailers. Better yet, Subscribe for just $24/year and never miss an issue.
And be sure to get your tickets to the Best of Grand Rapids Party to celebrate with all of the winners on Friday, May 8, 7–10 p.m. at the Goei Center, 818 Butterworth St. SW, Grand Rapids.
Now, without further ado, and in no particular order, here is annual roundup of the very best retail establishments and service providers Grand Rapids has to offer, as voted by you, our readers!
