After an incredible debut in 2024, we are excited to present the second annual Philly Favorites, proudly brought to you by The Philadelphia Inquirer. What began as a celebration of the remarkable businesses, organizations, and individuals that make this city extraordinary has become a cherished tradition—one that highlights the very best of Philadelphia, chosen by the people who know it best: you.

This year, the enthusiasm has only grown stronger. With 9,750 individuals and companies involved and 15,000 nominations across 296 categories, it’s clear that Philadelphians take pride in their local favorites. From beloved institutions to exciting newcomers, every one of the 336,696 votes cast is a testament to the passion, quality, and dedication that define our city’s vibrant landscape.

Our journey began with an exciting nomination period held from Oct. 28 to Nov. 8, 2024. During that time, we invited the public to nominate their favorite businesses and individuals in 12 main areas: Eat & Drink, Education, Finance, Health & Beauty, Home & Garden, Hotels & Casinos, Law, Motors, Real Estate, Services, Shopping, and Things to Do. This year, we focused on businesses in Bucks, Burlington, Camden, Chester, Delaware, Gloucester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties to ensure representation from across the Philadelphia region.

From Jan. 1 to 19, the community came together to cast their votes for their top picks. Audience members could vote once per day in each category, and after much anticipation, we are proud to announce this year’s 730 winners—businesses and individuals who have truly earned their place in the hearts of our city.

As we celebrate another year of Philly’s Favorites, we want to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed to this tradition. The passion, enthusiasm, and love for our city are what make Philly Favorites possible, and we look forward to continuing this tradition with you for years to come.

We encourage you to explore the many winners featured this year, whether by trying a new place for dinner, discovering something new to experience, or perhaps finding your next home. When you visit one of the winners, be sure to let them know you learned about them through Philly Favorites.

Auto Dealership - New & Auto Dealership - Pre-Owned

Oil Change & Tire Shop

Auto Detailing & Auto Service Center

A FAMILY BUSINESS SERVING GENERATIONS OF CUSTOMERS Through providing a number of services to an underserved community, dealership lives up to its founder’s mission

B

eing the last dealership in the Philadelphia Airport Automall still under original ownership, Pacifico Auto Group has an undeniably strong foothold in the South Philadelphia community. With more than one hundred years of selling automobiles under their belt, Pacifico Auto Group was intended to be a generational business and has no plans to slow down. Now, current owner Maria Pacifico is ushering in the fourth generation—her daughters, Dari and Jamie—to continue the legacy of turning business success into community support.

Pacifico Auto Group’s primary focus since its founding has been philanthropy. In 1964, Pacifico established an annual scholarship program that has since gifted more than $3 million to local high school seniors. Over the years, they added events like Trunk or Treat, Christmas parties with Santa and gifts; they began curating and distributing Thanksgiving meal boxes, participated in new-coat distribution efforts where they’ve donated more than 10,000 brand new winter coats, and more.

Pacifico also helps support other organizations in their own initiatives, participating in the Cristo Rey Philadelphia High School Work Study Program providing meaningful jobs to eager students.

To say they have achieved their founder’s mission of helping children live safely and comfortably so they can pursue higher education is an understatement. But for Maria, the cherry on top is seeing the same kids who come to look at vehicles with their parents show up at each event throughout the year.

“We are in one of the most underserved communities in Philadelphia,” Maria said.

“We are grateful that our community members have been loyal throughout generations, and we take any opportunity to extend that loyalty back to them. It warms our hearts to know that we can provide a safe space in the city for kids to simply be kids.”

Of course, a family business is also just that: a business. And for the parents of those kids, Pacifico Auto Group has plenty to offer. Customers PHILLYFAVORITES.COM

will find three strong nameplates (Ford, Mazda, and Hyundai), a strong WBENC-certified fleet department, a brand-new fully equipped commercial truck service center, a state-ofthe-art body shop that works with major insurers, brand-new showrooms and service centers that have doubled in size from their predecessors, an award-winning detail department, and more.

All these practical offerings are backed by 200 employees who are ready to serve those who cross the dealership’s doors.

Honesty and transparency are their core values. Each team member treats customers like family, and customers can be sure to find fair pricing and high-quality service every time.

Every aspect of this customer service approach shines through interactions at Pacifico, especially in the current trying economical times.

“Our number one goal is to always offer a fair and transparent price and we realize that costs have increased significantly more than consumers’ income has increased,” Maria said. “We do our best every day to find unique out of the box

cost-saving tactics so our customers can still enjoy the peace of mind that comes with high-quality service.”

It isn’t just the customers who feel the benefit of the dealership’s effort to go the extra mile. The employees do, too. Employee tenure is significantly high, with many having worked there for decades, some for more than 40 years. In the family business vein, employees’ children have established careers of their own in various departments of the company as well.

With a mission of building customer relations through generations, some of Maria’s favorite stories center around long-time customers who send their children, and now grandchildren, to Pacifico. Seeing the quality of its customer service shine through in referrals has been extremely rewarding for the entire Pacifico Team.

“At a time when it seems like so many businesses are leaving the city, we have doubled down by investing in our facilities and our community. We are committed to serving South Philadelphia for as long as we can,” Maria said.

“Pacifico is here to stay!”

We see more than numbers. We see you.

Founded in 1983, RTD Financial has earned its reputation as a trusted wealth management firm by prioritizing clients’ well-being. RTD’s most important core value is Client First, which the firm describes as delivering advice that benefits the client the most out of all the options available, without compromise. As a trusted fiduciary, RTD is committed to serving its clients—whether individuals and families, employer retirement plans, trusts, or nonprofits—with integrity and personalized care.

“We strive to be the preeminent, independent wealth management firm in the Philadelphia Region.

Not the biggest, but the best. This enables us to provide greater support to our clients, offer more opportunities for our team to achieve personal and professional growth, and make a greater impact in our own community,” says RTD’s Vice President of Client Development, Chris Vassallo, CFP®.

One of the things that sets RTD apart from other wealth management firms is its commitment to its core focus. In his most recent annual letter to clients, RTD’s CEO, Jeff Weiand, CFP®, AIF®, wrote, “At the heart of everything we do is our Core Focus: Inspire to Thrive ®. It is our “why” and our driving force. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on our clients, our colleagues, and our community.

The other part of our Core Focus is what we strive to do better than anyone else – deliver uncompromising fiduciary advice. We always put clients’ best interests first, striving to provide the highest level of integrity, transparency, and expertise. It’s about exceeding expectations and building trust that lasts a lifetime.” This core focus, 6

which is grounded in the company’s core values— Client First, Stewardship, Respect, Diversity, Fun, Belonging, Community, and Curiosity—informs every decision the team makes.

As an independent, fee-only, Registered Investment Advisor, RTD Financial operates with full transparency. Clients are never subjected to hidden fees, product sales, or up-selling. What clients see, clearly stated on their fee schedule, is what they pay. The firm’s commitment to a fiduciary standard is reinforced by its status as a CEFEXcertified Investment Advisor. CEFEX—The Centre for Fiduciary Excellence—is an independent, thirdparty certification organization that assesses and certifies that firms are adhering to best practices in fiduciary responsibility based on the Global Fiduciary Standard of Excellence. “2024 marked our 13th consecutive year as a CEFEX-certified Investment Advisor. We voluntarily undergo annual audits to ensure we are being the best fiduciaries we can be. We are one of just under 125 firms globally to be certified. Only six firms are certified in PA and only two are certified in NJ. Additionally, we’re what we call ‘planning-centric’, meaning holistic financial planning is at the core of all we do. As we’ve evolved, we’ve never lost sight of that. We’re proud that our planning heritage is intrinsically ingrained in all our service offerings.

These are meaningful factors that set us apart,” says Vassallo.

Routinely lauded as one of the best places to work, RTD’s success is rooted in its strong company culture, which is just as vital as its client-centric approach.

At RTD, leadership recognizes that the team— PHILLYFAVORITES.COM

every individual—is the company’s most valuable asset. They cultivate an environment grounded in respectful communication, collaboration, and a shared commitment to community engagement.

“We’re deeply committed to contributing to our community, with a strong focus on championing financial literacy,” says Chris Vassallo. RTD has made great strides in this area, inviting local leaders from city government, charities, the school district, universities, and the private sector to convene and collaborate on ways to advance financial literacy together. Some of the organizations they’ve partnered with include Junior Achievement, Philadelphia Financial Scholars, and Temple University, with the goal of helping students and families achieve lasting financial empowerment.

RTD is also proud to have earned membership in the Satell Institute, a CEO network dedicated to embracing corporate social responsibility. RTD’s commitment to giving extends beyond activism and volunteerism. Through its RTD Charitable Fund, the firm pledges a portion of its revenues to charitable causes that are elected by team members. The team is also encouraged to give through a matching grant program and paid time off to volunteer.

In discussing the firm’s mission, Vassallo emphasized, “At the heart of everything we do is a genuine commitment to people and a deep focus on their well-being. In our partnership with clients, we dedicate time to discovery—understanding their goals, values, priorities, and what truly matters to them. We believe that understanding each client’s unique needs is key to providing the most thoughtful and impactful recommendations.

Our clients are not portfolios or numbers, they are people—people with goals, worries, challenges, and aspirations. Whether they are individuals, families, employers, trusts, or nonprofits, they’re people. And that is what we’re all about—great people helping great people thrive.”

By staying true to its values, cultivating an exceptional culture, and always putting clients first, RTD Financial continues to be a trusted partner, dedicated to helping both clients and the community thrive—now and in the future.

One Door at a Time O The title insurance industry isn’t exactly known for diversity. Traditionally maledominated, it has seen few Black women at the helm — until now. Quick Abstract, LLC is not just another title insurance company; it is a Black woman-owned powerhouse built on speed, accuracy, and a deep commitment to serving homebuyers, investors, and lenders with integrity.

And in case one was wondering — yes, this is Pennsylvania’s first Black femaleowned and only all-Black staffed and operated title insurance company.

Founded in 2008 by Keesha White, a West Philadelphia native and Villanova University graduate, Quick Abstract was born out of necessity and resilience. After the national mortgage crisis forced her employer to close, White refused to wait for another opportunity — she created her own. While still working full-time, she launched Quick Abstract as a title

search company, handling the behindthe-scenes work of verifying property ownership, liens, and legal standings.

What sets Quick Abstract apart is not just its expertise but the women behind it — women and men who understand the barriers, the urgency, and the significance of every deal.

At the heart of Quick Abstract, LLC is a dedicated team of professionals committed to helping clients build generational wealth through real estate.

CEO and Founder Keesha White is supported by Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and minority partner Dayna DeVine, whose strategic financial oversight and business acumen have played a vital role in the company’s expansion and long-term stability.

215-232-3683 | quickabstract.com 1725 Fairmount Ave, Philadelphia, PA 8

PHILLYFAVORITES.COM

Beyond the executive team, Quick Abstract thrives because of its talented professionals who uphold its reputation for excellence. Core executive team members — PA Title Insurance Agents Justice Understanding, Safiya Martin, Imani Cox, and Rodney Blake-Smith — work collaboratively to ensure every client receives unparalleled service. Together with a dedicated staff of 16, this dynamic team is committed to empowering individuals, strengthening communities, and making homeownership more accessible and secure.

Quick Abstract operates under the mission: “Helping Clients Build Generational Wealth One Door at a Time.”

Homeownership isn’t just about buying property, it’s about creating security, building equity, and leaving a legacy.

This team takes that mission seriously: • We move fast because we know delays can cost you the deal.

• We handle the details, so title issues don’t arise at closing.

• We educate and empower clients because real estate isn’t just for the wealthy, it’s for anyone ready to take the next step.

Quick Abstract extends a heartfelt thank you to Jay Mullen and Meg McKee for their outstanding underwriting support, which has been instrumental in ensuring seamless and secure real estate transactions.

This company’s impact extends far beyond real estate. Quick Abstract remains deeply involved in the community through sponsorships with AAU organizations, community giveaways, youth entrepreneurship initiatives, and free leadership and homeownership workshops. Giving back isn’t just practice, it’s a core value.

Quick Abstract proves that Black women belong in every part of the real estate industry — not just as buyers and investors, but as leaders, educators, and decision-makers. They’re not just here to compete, they’re here to set the standard.

If one is buying, investing, or exploring real estate, talk with the people at Quick Abstract. They don’t just process paperwork, they help one build wealth, one deal at a time.
