Businesses were judged based on community service, flawless background of the business, growth of the company and continued plans of meeting the community’s needs.

“This is more than an award for the company,” said Perretta. “This is also for our hard-working, loyal and dedicated staff. Our entire staff is the backbone to the business. Without them, we would not be who we are today. This award also belongs to our customers, who have stood up for their rights and have supported us for the last 37 years.”
