Solar leadership

Carbon-free energy

Battery storage

Our clean energy commitment includes 10 large-scale solar plants across Arizona.

A balanced energy mix means nearly 50 percent of our energy is carbon-free.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using batteries to store excess solar power for use after the sun goes down.

elcome to the 21st annual edition of Ranking Arizona: The Best of Arizona Business. This publication is the result of the largest business opinion poll taken in Arizona. Each business category is selected by the staff of AZ Big Media based upon the business and leisure activities of Arizona’s business community. Determining who is best in any given industry is challenging, so we decided to turn to the residents of Arizona for the answers. Ranking Arizona is based purely on opinion. A company’s revenue and number of employees shouldn’t be the only criteria used to judge the best. Instead, participants who voted based their opinions on the quality of products, services and people. We also wanted to know which companies you would recommend doing business with and pass that information on to our readers. The bulk of voting takes place via our website (AZBigMedia.com). Our userfriendly website includes more than 20,000 businesses in more than 250 different business and leisure subcategories. Readers can go to the website and vote for their favorites in each sub-category. The votes are tallied each August and the results are then assembled and ranked according to their total number of votes. With a year-round visibility, Ranking Arizona is kept and referred to time and time again. We hope you will use this directory as a reference to help guide your businesses and families throughout the year. If you would like your business represented on our Ranking Arizona website for voting, simply log on to our site, scroll to the bottom of any sub-category and type in your nomination. My thanks to the staff of Az Big Media, advertisers and to all those who voted and made Ranking Arizona such an important part of Arizona’s business community. Congratulations to those who made our list. You truly represent “The Best of Arizona Business!” Sincerely,

PRINT’S NOT DEAD

n occasion, I hear the phrase, “print is dead.” As a magazine publisher for more than 30 years, I can assure you that statement is incorrect. True, newspaper readership is down, but magazine readership is up and continues to rise an average of 10% each year. Most people receive their news instantly by way of the Internet and social media. The Internet can break news, but magazines tell us about the people and the stories behind the news, they provide complete in-depth coverage and they showcase the outcome of public opinion. Ranking Arizona is a perfect example. Print drives customers to websites. Print makes the phone ring. Print creates emotional purchasing. So the next time someone says, “print is dead,” tell them magazines are alive and doing well, then show them the incredible publication you have in your hands. Sincerely,

Michael Atkinson President & CEO

We surf the Internet. We swim in magazines. The Internet is exhilarating. Magazines are enveloping. The Internet grabs you. Magazines embrace you. The Internet is impulsive. Magazines are immersive. And both media are growing. Barely noticed amidst the thunderous Internet clamor is the simple fact that magazine readership has risen over the past several years. Even in the age of the Internet, even among the groups one would assume are most singularly hooked on digital media, the appeal of magazines is growing. Think of it this way: during the life of Google, magazine readership actually increased 11 percent. What it proves, once again, is that a new medium doesn’t necessarily displace an existing one. Just as movies didn’t kill radio. Just as TV didn’t kill movies. An established medium can continue to flourish so long as it continues to offer a unique experience. And, as readers’ loyalty and growth demonstrate, magazines do. Which is why people aren’t giving up swimming, just because they also enjoy surfing.

The strength of Splinter lies at the intersection of art and commerce. Splinter is a team of ultra-committed specialists with a pointy genius for nailing real-world business solutions: here to help you communicate your brand with intelligence, power and style. Splinter makes the complicated simple. It starts with a little something the leaders of Splinter call brand therapy. So come in, relax, put your feet up. Splinter listens and treats its clients like friends, making them feel like they’re part of the team. Because they are. Splinter designs for identity, print and Web – so whatever you need, Splinter helps you build a better business by design. IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “Highly specialized expertise may become harder to find across our industry. As many creatives seek to expand their skill set and become multi-disciplined, that creates demand for those with very targeted proficiencies. As agencies and in-house companies compete for the best talent, coupled with a lean pool of prospects, we may see a much more competitive landscape for creatives. This would, in turn, provide higher wages for those very talented folks with unique and narrow skill sets.”

Magazines rank No. 1 at influencing consumers to start a search online – higher than all media options. Magazine buyers rank among retail’s best customers. They tend to be more affluent with more discretionary income, shop more and are less price-sensitive.

Print is the number one driver of purchase intent with more than half of all readers acting on magazine ads. In addition to targeting a specific audience, print advertising boosts web traffic and spurs online purchasing with 83 percent saying that what they liked about print was that it could be kept for future reference.

THE

IMPACT OF RANKING

ARIZONA

“We love Ranking Arizona because we have acquired new clients from the exposure it provides. Being listed within the top firms in our category has given us credibility with business owners and their professional advisors. It works.” Jim Afinowich, principal, IBG Fox & Fin Financial Group

“We subtlety promote our ranking in our marketing materials. Because it is the voice of our customers, we feel it carries weight. I know when I’m looking for someone to do business with, I appreciate knowing the experience other customers have had and Ranking Arizona gives potential customers a great barometer for analyzing the customer experience.”

“How the market perceives us and our reputation are paramount to our existence. We believe ranking No. 1 shows we live our values of integrity, trust, collaboration, respect, teamwork, quality and passion every day, allowing us to continue to grow and provide outstanding service to our customers.” Lisa McFate, employee-owner, Wilson Electric

Robert Anderson, CEO, Prisma

Ranking Arizona helps in our recruitment of employees and is an important component in creating positive morale. In addition, it adds credibility with everyone we do business with—including clients, prospective clients, vendor partners and even family members of our staff.” Bill Lavidge, CEO, Lavidge

“The Ranking Arizona recognition is shared with our employees as acknowledgement of the incredible impact they are making in the lives of our customers, as well as in business proposals and marketing collateral. It is a great addition to our overall value proposition as an award-winning and trusted healthcare partner.” David A. Dexter, president and CEO, Sonora Quest Laboratories

“Ranking Arizona has been a tremendous tool for us that has given our institution immediate credibility as a small local community bank in Arizona. We utilize the recognition with both new and existing clients to strengthen our relationships.” Mike Thorell, president and CEO, Pinnacle Bank

“The Ranking Arizona recognition has led to multiple project awards, peer recognition and, most importantly, the recognition affords each member of the Team an unparalleled sense of pride and the organization as a whole enjoys a stronger morale.”

“The exposure from being listed in Ranking Arizona over the past several years has offered many benefits for our firm. Gensler’s name published at the top of the list has provided tangible dividends such as unsolicited calls for new business opportunities, as well as the attraction of top new talent to our firm.”

“Ranking Arizona has helped our company by bringing in more new patients to our practice. We have patients from all over Phoenix coming to see us and have had people reach out to us to become a patient of our practice because they have seen us in Ranking Arizona.”

OFFICE: FURNITURE, 17 STAFF OR FEWER

last year

arkets West Office Furniture, which was established in 1980, started out by offering consigned office furniture. After a couple of years of cutting its teeth, Markets West Office Furniture soon expanded into purchasing truckloads on its own. It wasn’t long before Markets West Office Furniture gained the respect of many national furniture companies and became authorized dealership for many prestige furniture lines. There were a few bumps along the way — the financial crisis, light rail construction at the company’s doorstep and a fire. But those challenges made Markets West Office Furniture a stronger company today because it overcame adversity and is ready to handle the next 38 years. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “The company focus is on its staff having short- and long-term goals and working as a team of individuals to achieve the best results for the company and for themselves. This attitude motivates the staff to perform their activities beyond all expectations.” OUTLOOK FOR 2018: “With a strong pro-business administration and lower tax rate, you cannot help but to feel positive, although small to medium companies will need some sort of heathcare solution to be able to be competitive.”

Selected apprentices are afforded the opportunity to earn a state certificate and college credit that can be applied to an associate’s degree. The program is a viable alternative to the traditional college track, with an ‘earn while you learn’ focus.”

erde Canyon Railroad is Arizona’s longest-running nature show. Located in the Red Rock country near Sedona, this four-hour rail trip takes passengers on a 20-mile journey through exciting geology swathed in railroad history. The train’s handsome FP7 locomotives provide the muscle pulling restored vintage passenger cars through the picturesque Verde Canyon — only accessible by rail. History comes alive above, below and around every bend. A 680-foot manmade tunnel, trestles and bridges, eagles and other wildlife excite passengers on a daily basis. Four types of accommodations make up the Verde Canyon Railroad – a private caboose, locomotive ride-along, first-class and coach-class. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Verde Canyon Railroad provides every customer a rail experience they can’t get anywhere else. For the price of one ticket, every passenger has two seats to enjoy – one inside with easy access to another on an open-air viewing car.” SURPRISING FACT: “Every year, our international visitors become more expansive and diverse. It’s amazing the number of countries converging on our very small town of Clarkdale in order to ride our train.”

Round marble bistro tables and wicker chairs spill out onto the sidewalk, offering a kind of people watching one might indulge in, along Boulevard Saint-Germain. Zinc Bistro also offers a romantic garden patio secluded deep in the restaurant, lit by candles during the evening, creating an unforgettable ambiance, or a relaxing atmosphere near our fountain in the afternoon. Come in and indulge in fresh oysters brought in daily and featured at the end of the 25-foot Zinc bar. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “At the helm of the kitchen, Chef Matt Carter brings his vast experience with French cuisine and enriches it with a modern twist. With different menus for lunch and dinner, guests can enjoy a vibrant patio lunch experience or dine in for an unforgettable bistro-inspired meal.” OUTLOOK FOR 2018: “Zinc Bistro has recently had our largest menu change in 16 years. After careful thought and many late nights, Chef Matt Carter has created an exciting new dinner menu that brings us back to our Bistro Roots. One taste of Moules Marinieres or Crispy Confit duck says it all.”

A gallery of contemporary art and a bustling, open kitchen transports diners to the energetic experience of big-city dining. The cuisine is based on the refined French technique Razz employs as a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. The chef is a native of Venezuela, with a heritage spanning Europe. Razz offers international classics, bouillabaisse, osso bucco, escargot bourguignonne, as well as inspired contemporary creations such as macadamia nut-encrusted mahi mahi served with a tropical fruit relish and a garlic sauce. Dine at the island kitchen with a host of regular guests and chat with Razz as he and his team flambé, sauté and slice it up. IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “Social Media. I don’t really know whether to say it’s a trend or an issue. The electricity that social media ignites is exciting. It’s infringement on the experience of dining can feel daunting at times. In fine dining, we used to frown at cell phones out in the restaurant. Now, cell phones are regularly out and conversations at those tables have gone silent. Do you have to follow your dining partner on Snapchat to converse over dinner? ”

avis Miles McGuire Gardner’s mission is to, “Provide solutions and create lasting relationships to improve the lives of our clients, our employees, and our community.” In 2002 Charles Davis and Gregory Miles merged their law practices and formed Davis Miles, PLLC. With 50-plus years of combined legal experience, the new firm quickly gained a reputation for legal excellence. This reputation caught the eye of the corporate giant Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., and Davis Miles became the provider of Pre-Paid Legal Services in Arizona in March 2004. Its name changed to LegalShield in 2011 and Davis Miles proudly serves as the provider law firm for LegalShield in New Mexico and Arizona. Davis Miles joined forces with McGuire Gardner in 2011. The firm name changed to Davis Miles McGuire Gardner, PLLC in 2012. IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “Tax reform and interest rates. The promise of tax reform has contributed to a stock market that is at an all-time high and according to some commentators is oversold. Even with tax reform, as interest rates continue to rise, the market may be due for some type of correction after almost eight years in a bull market. ”

amed to U.S. News & World Report’s Honor Roll of the nation’s best nursing home facilities, Grandview Terrace Health & Rehabilitation provides sub-acute rehabilitation, assisted living, skilled nursing and memory support services. These levels of senior healthcare are all offered in one building, providing residents with a seamless transition to higher levels of care as their needs change. Grandview Terrace Health & Rehabilitation maintains a qualified, licensed staff of professionals, ensuring its residents receive devoted care tailored to their individual needs. The center also offers services to individuals in need of short-term and outpatient rehabilitation. IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “Several new regulations for skilled nursing have been introduced during the past few months, affecting overall delivery of healthcare, including other healthcare systems such as hospitals. Managing regulations in an already highly regulated industry will certainly have an impact on delivery of services to people being cared for in skilled nursing.” SURPRISING FACT: “The level of care provided isn’t apparent in our newly renovated environment that looks more like a five-star resort than what people typically expect in a ‘nursing home.’”

VEIN TREATMENT CENTERS

Arizona Vein Specialists

enter for Venous Disease (CVD) was established in 2005 and is the No. 1 vein center in company in the Southwest. Regionally, CVD is No. 1 with offices in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, and has national recognition by its peer group, societies in its specialty and — more importantly — its patients. In addition, almost 27 percent of CVD’s patients made the mistake of going to a different clinic, only to come to CVD later with worsening symptoms and repeat procedures. The disease is progressive. Delaying treatment is a costly mistake. IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “Patients need to be seen by a reputable and experienced doctor. We’ve heard horror stories from patients who have been seen by other providers. Patients also need an insurance advocate who adheres to the insurance policy (rules) for vein treatment. Most patients don’t realize they are on the ‘hook’ for payment if the doctor doesn’t follow them.” IMPACT OF NO. 1 RANKING: “We could not be No. 1 in this market with vein centers popping up all over the place if it were not for our quality outcomes and satisfied patients. We are time tested with board-certified doctors who are specialists in total vein care.”

awley Architects is a proponent of the cost-effective “Design Build” methodology of delivering projects. Cawley Architects is unique because it has successfully partnered with many contractors and clients to deliver commercial projects that represent the highest level of achievement in cost control, scheduling, architect/ contractor collaboration and client satisfaction. In 2017, Cawley Architects participated in mixed-use, light industrial, healthcare, retail and restaurant projects totaling more than 2 million square feet. COMPANY STRENGTHS: “Strengths that have contributed to our No. 1 ranking include prioritizing the relationship over the transaction, emphasis on overcoming the many shortcomings of traditional architectural services delivery, clean, crisp, cost conscience designs, responsiveness, focus on an errorfree drawing package and a separate QA/QC department that checks every plan set in detail.” OUTLOOK FOR 2018: “The outlook for 2018 is excellent. The tax-cut package will create a near-term moderate acceleration in corporate growth and spending, which will result in a modest increase in local activity. We expect 2018 to be better than 2017.”

IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “The continuation of our current trend of steady, measured construction of new office buildings will have the biggest impact on the office market in 2018. Good demand for Arizona office space has allowed absorption of space to outpace newly developed projects, moving vacancies down into healthy levels. Maintaining this trend, and not overbuilding, is the most controllable variable that will impact the 2018 office market.”

pectra Electrical Services is a full-service electrical contractor serving the Arizona construction industry since 2001. Specializing in all facets of commercial, industrial, facilities and service project types, Spectra Electrical Services has participated in the construction of and/or servicing of many notable, unique, challenging and always rewarding projects throughout the state of Arizona. In 2016, at the request of multiple customers, Spectra Electrical Services expanded its presence into the states of California, Nevada and New Mexico. IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “The biggest trend/issue for 2018 for the electrical industry — and for the construction industry as a whole — will be the shortage of qualified craftspeople and qualified supervision. There is plenty of work for all companies. However, the competition for qualified, skilled craftspeople is going to be fierce. The impact to the industry will cause potential delays in project starts and costs for contractors will potentially increase in order to maintain required manpower levels for the work they have under contract.”

Wiseman & Gale’s committed successors and current partners are Patty Burdick, Jana Parker Lee, Holly Ogden and Scott Burdick. They are leading the creative “virtuous” cycle began by the founders, with talent and experience passing from one generation to the next.

NURSERIES

oon Valley Nurseries began right here in Phoenix more than two decades ago with one location. By bringing a new, customer service focused approach and simplifying the tree purchasing process, Moon Valley Nurseries has evolved into one of the largest nursery and landscaping operations in the Western United States. Moon Valley Nurseries’ “You buy it and we plant it” business approach became so successful that it had to begin growing its own trees to keep up with demand. Moon Valley Nurseries still designs, delivers and plants, but now Moon Valley Nurseries is also the largest grower of box trees in the U.S. and has more than 40 locations across Arizona, California, Texas and Nevada. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Our employees contribute immensely to the relationships we form with our customers. From the initial staff on the phone to the crews that plant the trees at our customers’ homes, our employees are motivated to become the ‘go-to source’ for all of our customers’ landscape and garden needs.” IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “The new home market looks to be strong in most markets we operate in and that always can be a driving force for creating additional demand for our products and services.”

OUTDOOR DESIGN/BUILD

s a premier Arizona pools and landscape designbuild firm, Blooming Desert Construction has been creating extraordinary projects at affordable prices for more than 19 years. Blooming Desert Construction boasts an award-winning design group within the Blooming Desert family with an average of 14 years of experience per designer. Supported by some of the largest residential licenses issued by the state of Arizona, Blooming Desert Construction’s highly mechanized construction division has installed more than 7,000 projects with proven success, including a perfect record with the Registrar of Contractors. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Creating and building is in our DNA. We have a well-established design group that is constantly innovating. This in turn pushes our construction division to be learners. The convergence of the two, I believe, naturally separates us from those who don’t travel the same path.” IMPACT OF 2018 TRENDS: “The first half of 2018 looks to be solid. We’ve been lucky to be a part of an industry that is continuing to heal. The biggest impact on our industry will likely be an under supplied homebuilding market trying to find equilibrium with current demand and population growth.”

POOL: BUILDERS

n Jeff Mossman’s opinion, a completed project is only one that results in a client referral. Mossman takes pride in making sure clients feel as if their project is the only one the firm is working on at any given moment. “When I meet with someone, I listen intently, asking questions and talking them through the process to better paint a picture in my mind of where I hope to go with it.” Working within a broad scope of vernaculars, including everything from contemporary to traditional, Mossman counts “upscale elegance” as his defining signature style, regardless of the design each respective project calls for. “This type of sophistication is our stamp, our hallmark,” says Mossman of the 25-year-old, family run company. “We take no job for granted, and each job is precious to us.” Mossman Brothers Pools is celebrating its 25th year in the Valley. Mossman Brothers Pools is a recipient of Ranking Arizona’s No. 1 pool builder, as well as AZFoothills “Best of the Valley: Pool Builder,” winning top spot in 2012, 2013 and 2014. Jeff Mossman also received 2014 “Master of the Southwest” honors, given out by Phoenix Home & Garden to professionals who are the best of the best in their chosen field.

CAR DEALERS: LESS THAN $39,999

ell Ford was founded in 1979 and while the aesthetics and inventory may have changed, its mission statement is still the same. Doing what’s right, every time. Creating an exceptional place to work, every day. Excellence in everything it does. It’s not hard to find a Ford dealer in Phoenix, but it is hard to find a dealership like Bell Ford. High-pressure sales tactics, needless haggling and a lack of respect has no place at Bell Ford. Bell Ford aims to provide a great product and offers the highest levels of customer service possible. STRENGTH OF STAFF: “Sometimes, our industry gets a bad reputation. People tend to associate high employee turnover and a lack of integrity with the auto industry and with dealerships in particular. At Bell Ford, we strive to be the exact opposite. We work hard to create a work culture based on moral and ethical behavior and would never encourage, support or allow our employees to behave illegally. Our employees tend to stay with us nearly twice as long in comparison to other dealerships. We believe this is due to our positive work environment that cuts through industry stigmas and stereotypes.”

Employees are playful professionals offering AAA Four Diamond service and targeting a similar kind of guest seeking a high-end experience without all the formality that usually goes along with it.” OUTLOOK FOR 2018: “Shattering the mold of the conventional hotel experience, The Camby freshly aligns hospitality, distinctive amenities and memorable experiences to the 21st century guest at work or play in Phoenix. The hotel implements inventive programming like Tipsy Tea Party and forges partnerships with highend brands like Lululemon and Saks Fifth Ave to offer a hotel experience that is exactly like nothing else.”
