Berks might be considered “small town” but many will tell you it’s BIG on customer service and quality. Area consumers expect a lot, and hard-working business owners and service providers in a multitude of genres put their best foot forward to offer top-notch products and more. This year’s People’s Choice leaders, selected by YOU, are fine examples of how Berks businesses are doing it right.
Working hand-in-hand with independent marketing firm FieldGoals.US, months of research took place, including a random email survey from the company polling Berks consumers about whom they see as the leading companies in 75 business categories. The results determined which businesses voters saw as fit to receive the People’s Choice Leader title for 2020.
We, the team at Berks County Living, are thrilled to be selected as your leading local magazine again this year and congratulate those businesses recognized as leaders in this year’s People’s Choice Who’s Who in Business program.
