A SPECIAL PUBLICATION OF THE KINGSPORT TIMES-NEWS

Page H2 Reader’s Choice, Sunday, July 28, 2019

Congratulations to all the winners of the 17th Annual Kingsport Times News Readers Choice Awards. It was again another record-setting year!

This year a record 137,330 votes were cast, demonstrating the wonderful connection between local businesses and their loyal customers. Also, a record 209 business and service categories drew nominations of more than 9,728 local businesses. That’s impressive by any measure.

For the Times News, wide participation in the Readers Choice Awards validates our longstanding belief that newspapers – in whatever form readers choose to consume them – continue to serve communities like no other medium. Our readers, and particularly our loyal subscribers, shop where they live and support our local economy. That’s important for not only our merchants, but the tax base that supports vital local government services such as police and fire protection and local schools. We all benefit from every local dollar spent.

We extend a hearty congratulations to every nominee and winner in the 17th Annual Kingsport Times News Readers Choice Awards and a huge thank you to our readers who support them every day.

Sincerely,

Rick Thomason Publisher

Page H7 Reader’s Choice, Sunday, July 28, 2019

CBD Plus USA is Tennessee’s choice for safe, natural relief. This success is due to their safe, affordable, organic alternatives to pharmaceuticals that can provide herbal pain relief the natural way, without the risk of addiction.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural chemical compound found in the hemp plant, an industrial crop cultivated for thousands of years for its seeds, oil and fiber. It contains no THC, the substance in marijuana that gets people “high,” so it doesn’t negatively alter your mind or perception.

Like traditional painkillers, CBD works by temporarily “turning off” specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord, but unlike opiates, it’s non-habit-forming and virtually side-effect free. Because of this, it’s commonly used by people who suffer from symptoms associated with pain, inflammation, anxiety and more.

To achieve its goal of improving the health of their communities, CBD Plus USA has made a strong investment in education. Their trained and certified staff provide customers with free product consultations which cover proper medical dosage, micro-dosing and ensure they find the best products to fit their needs.

CBD Plus USA’s commitment to providing high-quality, organic CBD products and education to people seeking an herbal alternative is unwavering. Their cutting-edge products provide health options that are both more practical and affordable. The dedication they show by supplying the best herbal pain relief at the best price is rooted in their mission to help their customers live their best lives.

This drive has made them the fastest growing CBD franchise in the United States. Since launching their first store in February 2018, CBD Plus USA has grown to a chain of 12 locations in Tennessee and more than 70 stores nationwide. States that CBD Plus USA currently calls home include Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arkansas, Maryland and Florida.

Methods of consuming CBD include ingesting orally, applying to the skin, and smoking or inhaling via an e-cigarette or other device. Store hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Riverfront Seafood KINGSPORT — It’s been a “fast and furious” year so far for Riverfront Seafood and its new owners Russ and Serena Burdine. And there’s no slowdown in sight.

The fresh seafood restaurant, a longtime local favorite, is now open for lunch on Sundays with seatings from 11 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. The core of the menu features selected Riverfront staples that guests already enjoy and introduces new items as Sunday specials. If guest response to a particular “Sunday special” warrants, that item might be added to the regular menu.

Russ and Serena said they remain committed to carrying on the legacy of Riverfront founder Wayne Michelli, but they also will be putting their own stamp on things. So far, the response from the public has been overwhelming, they said.

“It’s been incredible the support we’ve gotten from both new guests and our regular customers,” Russ said. “We’ve seen lots of new faces and we’ve not lost any of the old faces. It’s unreal the support we’ve had. And Wayne is happy for us.”

Though there have been some changes to accommodate the growth, the focus is still on fresh seafood, quality and consistency. The menu and the restaurant’s staff – with the exception of Michelli – hasn’t changed. Outside, the expansive deck overlooking the Holston River has been power-washed and restained, and the Burdines are looking into having it covered. Other improvements include updated landscaping.

Located at 1777 Netherland Inn Road overlooking the Holston River, Riverfront Seafood Restaurant is one of just a handful of locally-owned, full-service restaurants in Kingsport. Started as a labor of love in 1991 by Wayne Michelli and wife Angie, the restaurant has grown from its humble market beginnings to its current location complete with patio seating, express lunches, early bird specials, a full bar and a fresh market where you can purchase quality raw seafood and prepare it for yourself at home.

Both the restaurant and the market open at 11 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sundays. For reservations, call (423) 245-3474. To learn more, visit www.riverfrontseafood.com.

Keeping the Comforts of Home

Comfort Keepers The day will come when caregiving reverses and the parent becomes the one in need. Research has proven over the years, that aging parents thrive when they are able to remain in their own homes.

Things are familiar, memories are attached, and the sense of independence continues to remain a strong force. However, the reality of remaining alone in their home simply may not be feasible for their care. This is when an outside company can be both a great relief to a family and of great value.

Comfort Keepers is an in-home, non-medical service whose primary job is to place dependable caregivers into the homes of aging parents. Their caregivers become that extra hand that allows seniors to age in place. As a company who serves seniors throughout the Tri-Cities, Comfort Keepers is able help families retain their loved ones in their home by providing personal care services such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, light housekeeping, errands, and companionship. “Our services are available 24/7.” Said Wendy Smith, Client Care Coordinator for Comfort Keepers.

Each caregiver is vetted fully before placement with a client. Full county, state, and federal backgrounds checks are performed, and over 40 hours of training is provided both inhouse and via

Comfort Keepers Corporate.

“It takes a special type of person to provide the needs of the elderly. Comfort Keepers works hard to hire and match individuals to the best suited client. We love to care for those who are our legacy.”

Said Linda Bambino, owner of Comfort Keepers. “Our company has served the Tri- Cities for the past seventeen years. We’re well established in the community for providing excellent care.” She added.

When the time arises for the roles to switch, Comfort Keepers are there to meet the needs of your aging loved ones.

Lafayette Air Conditioning originally opened its doors in 1978. The decision for the company name has a little bit of history. The original owner moved to Kingsport from Lafayette Louisiana. When purchasing his home in Kingsport it was located on Lafayette Circle; therefore, the name Lafayette Air Conditioning became an obvious choice for his new company.

In 2010 the original owner decided to retire, and the company was purchased by Church Hill natives Penny Draine and Jesse Jennings. Over the last nine years, the business has grown to 28 employees with a fleet of 15 vehicles. In 2014, we had to expand moving to our current location 1500 W. Stone Drive in Kingsport, TN. With over 40 years in business, the success of the company has been through honest work at affordable prices to meet all our customers heating and cooling needs. We are licensed, bonded, and insured giving our customers piece of mind in residential, commercial and new construction. Our highly trained technicians specialize in service, sales, and maintenance.

Pop’s Restaurant Twenty-three years ago, Clayton and Linda Powers had a dream of a family style restaurant and on February 14, 1996 the doors of Pop’s Restaurant opened. The restaurant gets its name from Clayton. Pop is what his grandchildren call him. Because family has always been so important to Clayton and Linda they wanted to create a place where the community would come to eat and be treated like family. They started with just 3 people and over the years have continued to grow in size. We are a family owned and operated business, currently with 3 generations working there. You can see the family working as hostesses, waitresses, cashiers, and even cooking. As a family we take pride in how Pop’s is run and strive to give the best experience you can have. Pop’s is now run by their sons, Randy Powers and James Pritt, with Clayton (Pop) still coming in once a day.

They continue to keep with the traditions and values that Clayton and Linda set in place, and with our great employees, we serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the greatest customers in the region.

We encourage you to come down to eat with us. Whether it is our homemade from scratch breakfast gravy, soup beans, hand cut beef tips or famous Alaskan white fish, there is something here for everyone. We are dedicated to making home style food and having a pleasing atmosphere. One of the greatest reasons for our success is due to the dedication our employees have given over the years.

You’ll always be greeted with a smile and a “have a nice and blessed day” when you leave. You’ll be treated like family. We want you to take a bite of one of our delicious daily specials, hot roast beef platters, southern fried chicken livers, or take a drink of ice cold sweet tea and have it taste like home. And don’t forget to grab a piece of vintage candy or a jar of local honey on your way out. You can keep up with all that is going on with the restaurant on our Facebook page, Pop’s Restaurant, or on Twitter @pops_restaurant.

Because of the dedication of the community that keeps coming back, we have the privilege to keep serving you. We give thanks to the Lord for each customer we serve and for each customer we will serve. We thank you for voting for us to be the number one Family Style Restaurant in Kingsport! And we hope to see you soon!

THANK YOU for voting us the #1 Body Shop!!

B&E Collision B&E Collision’s top priority is to deliver 100% satisfaction to our customers, vendors, employees, and insurance companies. We thank everyone for your trust and confidence in allowing us to repair one of your most valuable possessions. B&E Collision repaired over 1,500 vehicles in 2018 and we appreciate everyone involved in making our business successful. Our employees are highly skilled and take great pride in their workmanship. Their skill and dedication allows us to offer our customers a written lifetime warranty – we are happy and confident to say “We stand behind it!”. B&E Collision was established in 1976 by a hardworking tradesman named Ben Lifford and his beloved wife Joyce. After more than 4 decades, B&E Collision continues to be family-owned and operated, having been joined in business by their daughter and son-in-law, Miranda and Jeff Lukens. ”As far back as I can remember my daddy always repaired vehicles. Many of you may remember where it all started. We lived in a little house (and by little I mean a one bedroom with a family of 4) on Gravely Road. Below the house was a two car garage. This is where my dad made a living for our family. It was in that garage where he repaired and painted many cars. I remember being upstairs in the house when he was painting and not being able to walk around much or jump at all because the dirt from the ceiling above the garage would have fallen into the fresh paint. My mom would dust the furniture and we always knew what color he had painted with that day because it would be on the dust cloth. As the years went by, we built a small shop beside of the house. It was in this shop at the age of 18 that I decided I wanted to work for my dad. Although there wasn’t a need for a secretary, my dad created a place for me. He had one office with one desk and one chair, which we shared. When he would come in to sit down I would go to my special seat which was our cooler that had our lunch in it. Haha!

The business began to flourish. After a year, we started constructing another building directly behind the one we were in at the time. I was so excited to pick out the decor in the new office and to have my own desk and chair.

We started getting several direct repairs from the insurance companies and soon we had cars everywhere. Many of you may remember that situation of trying to get in and out of our parking lot, which was in a curve on Gravely Road. After being in this building for two years my dad decided to take a huge risk and buy property on Lynn Garden Drive to construct our present building. I remember telling him, “Dad, I don’t think this is a good idea”. He assured me that everything was going to be just fine. He had never let me down before so I trusted him and of course, he was right. We have been so blessed. Our only goal has been to please our customers. They are our advertisement. They are what matters to us. My husband Jeff is now running the show while I stay at home raising 6 future B&E employees. Jeff has grown the business even more. We have since added a new building for all our frame work to meet the demands of our customers and insurance companies.

I just want to say thank you to our customers for voting for us. We truly appreciate your business! Thank you to all of our employees. You do an outstanding job and have made all of this possible! Thank you to my husband Jeff for taking my dad’s dream and keeping it alive! Last, but certainly not least, thank you dad. Thank you for taking a risk on me and entrusting me to be a part of this. We may have not had much throughout my childhood but you never gave up, and now I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for me and our family. All I want is to make you proud, because you sure make me proud to call you my dad. “ -Miranda Lifford Lukens B&E Collision is located at 1630 Lynn Garden Drive in Kingsport, Tennessee. We gladly work with all insurance companies and participate with most insurance companies’ direct repair programs. This allows us to take the inconvenience out of the claims repair process. Our state of the art facility includes: Sherwin-Williams computerized color matching system, a dedicated frame shop with Chief computerized frame machine and Shark computerized measuring system. We also have a dedicated aluminum repair bay - with technicians on hand that hold certificates specializing in aluminum repairs. We are an ICAR Gold Certified facility, giving you piece of mind that your repairs will be completed to insurance standard.

Again, we greatly appreciate all the business we have been blessed with. We look forward to helping all our past and future customers who need our services. Remember to always pay it forward!

Ron Matthews State Farm Ron Mathews State Farm has been voted one of the best by the readers of the Times News.

“We appreciate the support of our customers and friends and we’ll continue to do our best to make

sure that our customers have the insurance they need….before they need it.” Ron responded when told of the Readers Choice Award.

The Insurance business is an interesting gig…everyone pays money…hoping they never have to use it. Unfortunately, it’s a fact of life…you have to have it…but still, we get it.

2019

At my office…we try and make the insurance process as painless as possible, and really attempt to be like the old slogan…. “Like a good neighbor.”

We sell auto, home insurance, business and disability – all of which – we hope our clients do not have to use. We also sell life insurance…that pretty much… everyone will use. We try and make sure what our clients want to happen, when they march on – does happen.

Our office is at 1417 Warpath Drive (behind KFC) in Kingsport. We have 24 hour claim service, 7

days a week. But we hope that clients will call my office first – so we can offer some help – sorting through the issues.

Food City K-VA-T Food Stores, Inc. is the corporate banner for the Food City supermarket chain, and is an acronym for its base trade area of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. In 2015, the company also purchased 29 supermarkets (including 21 pharmacies) in Chattanooga, Tennessee and North Georgia.

This privately held, family-owned company has grown over the years by expansion, new store construction and acquisitions. Today, they operate 15 locations in southeastern Kentucky, 24 in southwest Virginia, 64 in east Tennessee, 19 in Chattanooga, Tennessee and 9 in north Georgia. The 131-store chain includes 123 Food City locations (with 105 pharmacies and 102 fuel/convenience stores), 6 Super Dollar Food Center limited assortment and 2 wine & spirits stores. Serving a current trade area of over 1.4 million households, with a population of 3.3 million, they also operate their own 1.2 million square-foot distribution center, located in Abingdon, VA. Having served their neighbors for over 100 years, the Food City banner dates back to a store opened in Greeneville, TN in 1918. K-VA-T Food Stores’ real beginning came in 1955 when Jack C. Smith (founder), his father Curtis, cousin Ernest and uncle Earl opened their first store in Grundy, VA. Since that time, Food City has grown in leaps through the acquisition of several Piggly Wiggly operations in Southwest Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, along with Quality Foods/Food City, White Stores, Winn Dixie and BI-LO units in east Tennessee and north Georgia. The company has also grown steadily by expansion into new market areas while remodeling and replacing existing locations as needed to best serve their customers.

K-VA-T Food Stores, Inc. continues to grow and share its growth with its associates. “Over 12.76% of the company is owned by our associates and that continues to grow every year through our profit-sharing plan,” said Steve Smith, Food City President & CEO. He attributes the company’s success to “a talented team of hard working associates who are dedicated to serving our customers and their community”.

Food City locations offer a wide variety of services and conveniences, ranging from in-store bakery/delis, complete with hot food and café seating areas to Floral Boutiques, staffed with designers seven days a week. Full service meat and seafood departments offer pre-marinated and seasoned products, plus a complete selection of top quality meats that are all-natural, including Certified Angus Beef. In-house meat cutters will hand cut steaks, chops and roasts to order. Expanded grocery, frozen food, produce and health & beauty care departments go well beyond the normal fare with a huge selection of gourmet, international and hard-to-find items.

Through a partnership with local farmers, Food City is able to bring their customers fresh-from-the-field fruits and vegetables. Many items are delivered directly from the farm to the store on the same day they are picked. Each year, Food City buys approximately $5,000,000 in fresh produce from local growers.

Food City’s convenient pharmacies are staffed with highly trained professionals whose primary concern is the well-being of their customers. Many of the pharmacies are now equipped with a drive-thru for greater convenience. Food City Gas N’ Go fuel stations offer competitive prices on high quality gasoline. Many now sell diesel fuel. A number of stores include national or local branch banks, offering ATM’s and a full range of financial services.

The company also offers the added convenience of GoCart curbside pick-up at 45 locations throughout their market area. The GoCart program allows customers to select their purchases on-line. Their order is filled by a professional shopper and loaded into their vehicle when they arrive at the store. And, they can pay for their purchases on-line or by credit or debit card at the time of pick-up. Food City Home Delivery powered by Instacart is also available in 93 of their locations, providing shoppers with the flexibility of same-day delivery to their doorstep.

In order to provide greater value for its customers, the company offers many private label product choices under the labels Food Club, Food City Fresh, Full Circle Market, Wide Awake Coffee Co., Tippy Toes, Harvest Club, Paws Happy Life, Evolve, Over the Top, Nostimo, @ease, CharKing, Misty Mountain, Flock’s Finest, b-lieve, Simply Done, TopCare, Culinary Tours, Valu Time, Pure Harmony, and more. A subsidiary arm of K-VA-T Food Stores, Misty Mountain Spring Water, L.L.C., bottles pure spring water to sell in Food City stores and under private labels for other retailers.

Food City customers are able to enjoy classic brand products that are not available in any other stores. Brands like Kern’s Bread, Kay’s Ice Cream, Lay Meats, Terry’s Snack Foods and Moore’s Potato Chips were once household names, but for one reason or another disappeared from store shelves. Food City has brought these brands back with the same recipes and flavors as before.

The company supports a number of community based organizations and agencies throughout their market area. Food City’s School Bucks Program has donated more than $18.6 million in much needed equipment to area schools. Their annual Charity Golf Outing has raised a combined total of over $6.35 million since its inception to benefit area charitable organizations and their annual Race Against Hunger campaign also provides over $400,000 in assistance to local hunger relief organizations each year. Their Mission Able project has raised over $1.26 million in the last eight years to benefit Paralyzed Veterans of America. The company supports scores of other initiatives including United Way, Susan G. Komen, Relay for Life/The American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Juvenile Diabetes, Second Harvest Food Bank, Feeding America and countless others.

The Food City name is also synonymous with NASCAR racing through the sponsorship of two of the sport’s most popular events, the Food City 500 and Food City 300 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, TN. In 2017, Food City celebrated the 25th Anniversary of their race sponsorships, as well as the 30th Anniversary of Food City Race Night. As the second longest running sponsor in NASCAR, the company has also contributed more than $565,000 in proceeds from their annual Food City Race Night events to local organizations throughout the area. Food City served as the presenting sponsor of the historic “Battle at Bristol” football game between the University of Tennessee and Virginia Tech.

Food City is also a major corporate partner of several local athletic programs, including the University of Tennessee, East Tennessee State University, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Emory and Henry.

“We’re proud to be locally owned and operated,” Smith says. “We’re extremely passionate about what we do and we’re committed to providing our customers with top quality products at the lowest possible price and exceptional service while continuing the mission our company was founded upon over sixty years ago, to “run the best store in town”.
