Now onto the results!

3rd place: Burkett's

This local fashion spot really caught the eye of many voters, specifically highlighting their sincerity and helpfulness to make everyone feel beautiful.

Here's what folks had to say about them:

"They greet me me as I walk in the door with genuine interest. They really listen without judgement, my opinions of the style I like and help me find the right piece for me. They never push or up sell, just old fashion neighborly staff." -Catherine L.

"Not only are they the friendliest place to shop, they have outstanding customer service and go out of their way to make you love what you have. Also they have the best events and giveaways I've ever seen!" -Darlene W.

"Burkett's staff are warm, welcoming, and always want their clients to feel beautiful." -Deanna C.

In 2nd place: Kulits Orthodontics

Here's what folks had to say about them:

"I went into Dr Kulits office at the tender age of 50, contemplating orthodontics work. They were very friendly and made me feel at ease during the whole orthodontics process. I would recommend them to anyone, of any age." -James W.

"They go over and beyond to make their patients feel comfortable. As an adult with braces, I had trepidation about going into the office. That trepidation was left at the door from my very first visit. Everybody greeted me with warm welcome. There were raffles to participate in monthly. The morale was remarkable and the community participation level is really high as well. When I had to keep my braces on through my wedding, they offered to do an extra appt, so that I would have perfectly updated and clean gear for the big day. I have had them off for years now, but I remember these people fondly." - Kristi L.

"Both of my children had their orthodontics done by Kulits and they have always been a joyful experience! From their smiling faces to their accommodating scheduling to the free coffee while I wait, it's always been a pleasure!" -Linda S.

"Everyone at narrative coffee is warm welcoming and hospitable. I have enjoyed conversations so much with the staff, on occasion I forget my drink." -Caleb J.

"Every time my husband and I go into the shop, we feel such warmth and love from every single employee. Whether it's bonding over jazz music or meeting each other for the first time, the Narrative staff never shy away from making you feel at home." -Mary K.

"Helpful, friendly and awesome. This place just had the best people working for them. Also, check out their google and yelp reviews. Nothing says good people like their responses to haters on review sites." -Peter F.
