WINNERSTHE COUNTY’S BEST FOOD,
SERVICES, FESTIVALS AND MORECHOSEN BY YOU
2 SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 2015 • gwinnettdailypost.com
Welcome...F
or newcomers to Gwinnett, the Reader’s Choice awards are a nice way to get an idea of what the locals like, from their favorite place to get a bite to eat to the place they most like to work out. But the awards — picked by the
readers during a nearly two-month online voting period — are also informative for longtime Gwinnettians, highlighting a restaurant they might not have heard of or a store that gets raves from its patrons.
This year’s Reader’s Choice awards feature seven categories — food and fun, cars, home, family fun, pets, Gwinnett life and feel good —with winners, runners-up and other finalists in every category, giving readers of this section a chance to see what their fellow Gwinnettians think are the best places in the county.
It’s a list we know you will enjoy reading and visiting as well.
