We salute this year’s class of winners!
Welcome to the Shore region’s premier business accolades. Why so special? Because these are the local companies that you—more than 45,000 of you—voted for as the very best in their respective categories of business. This year, ballots went live for public voting during January and February. In March, our executive team tallied the results, vetted the entries, and confirmed this year’s Best of Eastern Shore winners! There are approximately 154 awards overall, divided into the groups Food & Dining, Health & Beauty, Home & Garden, and Retail & Professional Services. It’s an outstanding number of votes and a remarkable class of winning businesses! What’s Up? Media congratulates all winners and thanks you for choosing the best customer experiences of the region.
Enjoy reviewing this year’s list and, hopefully, many of your personal favorites have won!
