Exceptional customer service. That’s what the businesses listed on this annual list provide every day. It’s what earned them the distinction of being Little Rock Soiree Platinum Service award winners.
Last October, thousands of readers voted for the local businesses that provide the best service in 58 categories. Here, we announce the winners and other notable nominees. Some categories were simply too close to call, so we listed multiple companies.
Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up and thank you for serving Little Rock so well.
