RECORD-JOURNAL’S ANNUAL READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS CELEBRATE EXCELLENCE
Once again, the highly anticipated Record Journal’s Readers’ Choice awards were celebrated in style at the publication’s annual glitzy gala.
The 2025 winners in nine categories Automotive Dealers & Services; Community Organizations & Nonprofits; Food & Drink; Health & Beauty; Kids & Education; Professional Services; Shopping; and Top
BY SUSAN SHULTZ
Employers—spent the evening of Oct. 1 being honored for their achievements. The community voted in 140 categories across nine main groups of business types.
The stunning Aqua Turf Club in Plainville again graciously served as a glamorous backdrop. The evening of mouthwatering food and fizzy, festive drinks served as the backdrop of a night of feting these hardworking community members.
The winners in this year’s contest highlight the diverse and discriminating taste of the greater Meriden area. A glance through our winners offers visitors to the region plenty of options for a fun weekend of dining, shopping, and self-care.
The list of winners also offers residents a valuable guidebook for the services they need most. Your neighbors have vetted and recommended the best mental and physical health experts, the best community organizations and non-profits, and even the best tire services.
But it isn’t all practical – the next time you have a party, you are ready with recommendations for the most reliable caterer, the most delicious cake maker, and even the favorite craft beer brewer.
These independent businesses deserve to be recognized for their contributions to the communities in which they have made an impact. If you stop by, be sure to say a well-earned congratulations!
YOUR 2025 WINNERS LIST STARTS TO THE RIGHT! >>
