eVeryoNe loVeS A WINNer! In our 2013 Annual “Best of Northern Nevada”

reader poll, we asked people to vote for businesses and individuals they felt were “the best” in over 350 categories. This year, 3,132 individuals participated in our survey, casting 108,150 votes throughout the various categories.

Voting for the RN&R’s Best of Northern Nevada is conducted exclusively online, and we take great measures to virtually eliminate “ballot stuffing”. Businesses and people actively campaign for votes, soliciting employees, customers, friends and family members to vote for them. Just like any other poll or contest, the ones receiving the most votes are the ultimate winners. It’s a true popularity contest, where the winners are also the most popular choices.

We take this stuff seriously, as do our readers. Bogus, or “bot” votes are weeded out, as are duplicate votes from the same e-mail

address and ballots containing fewer than the required number of votes. This results in a truly credible survey, as far as the numbers go.

In our annual “Winners” publication, we feature winners from each category, along with 2nd and 3rd place readers’ choices. You’ll also get some insight into some of the winners and what they feel makes them “The Best”.

We encourage you to call or visit this year’s Best of Northern Nevada winners to congratulate them and learn more about what they do. After all, everyone loves a winner and winners love to hear it from you!

When and how did you get started in this business?

I have always been involved in the Arts since I was 3 years old. I came to the United States in 1983 and have been involved in many aspects of theatre and dance. Joining Artown was a natural evolution of my professional career.

What inspires you to go to work every day?

1st PLACE

Any advice for people who want to make their business “The Best”?

Have a passion for what you do and be authentic.

Being involved in the Arts allows me to make a difference in the community in which I have chosen to make my home.

Why do you think RN&R readers voted you the best?

Diversity, access and quality. With 500 events throughout the month there is something for everyone.

When and how did you get started in this business?

PLACE

Back in 1992 I went to get my septum pierced in Sacramento, the piercer asked me if I would like to learn to pierce and that began my lifelong career as a body piercer.

What makes your business different than your competition?

What inspires you to go to work every day?

We put our customers needs at the top of the priority list.

My amazing staff. Not only do they keep the shop running smoothly, they are tons of fun.

Got any advice for people who want to make their business the best?

Ever since I was 16 I wanted to open a recycled clothing store because I loved recycling and a good bargain. In 2007 I opened Plato’s Closet.

What makes your business different than your competition?

What inspires you to go to work every day?

We only focus on our four walls because that is the only thing that we can control, not what others are doing.

That’s an easy one...I am surrounded everyday by the best staff an owner could wish for.

Got any advice for people who want to make their business the best?

Remember in business it’s not a sprint

Why do you think RN&R readers voted you the best? but a marathon. Don’t be a know it all!

I think people love our variety of fashion and uniqueness of concept. The environment is also energetic and there is always a good deal to be found at Plato’s Closet.

RN&R BEST OF NORTHERN NEVADA WINNERS GUIDE

o c tober 1 7 , 2 0 1 3

We’ve been in business over 55 years doing the exact same thing. In uncertain times, our city needs businesses that our citizens can truly rely on.

What makes your business different than your competition?

We listen. Most pawn shops are very cut and dry with their pricing and loaning. We take a different approach. I base our business on the needs our customers, rather than trying

WHEN & HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN THIS BUSINESS?

I am a 3rd generation launderer & dry cleaner. My Grandfather and my Dad both were in the industry as is my son now. Prior to purchasing Peerless Cleaners...for close to 25 years I was a chemical Tech Specialist in the Commercial Laundry & Dry Cleaning Business. I provided chemical technical support to most of the major casinos, resorts, hospitals, military, hotels, theme parks and of course dry cleaners throughout the western US and Far East. My background and experience in the laundry & dry cleaning chemical industry helps us provide a superior level of expertise to our customers.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO GO TO WORK EVERYDAY?

I think at this point it has to be a couple of things.

First has to be a determination to not let the current economy beat our business. And Second, the people who work at Peerless Cleaners.

our staff when they visit our stores and the fact that we are Nevada’s ONLY Certified Green Dry Cleaning Business.

WHAT MAKES YOUR BUSINESS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR COMPETITORS?

The great staff we have at our store locations, the main production plant staff, our Home & Office Drivers and our Certified Green Cleaning Commitment.

ANY ADVICE FOR PEOPLEWHO WANT TO MAKE THEIR BUSINESS “THE BEST”?

Be committed to and love what you do. Also be committed to the people who work with you to make it all happen.

WHY DO YOU THINK RN&R READERS VOTED YOU THE BEST?

I hope that it is the Quality of the finished garments we return to them, their experience with

Remember what you got in the business to begin with. You must have passion for what you are doing in order to succeed. We feel that the public can see if you’re only in it to make a buck. Having a ton of sarcastic employees helps too.

Consistently the best artists - same crew for essentially 17 years - unheard of in tattooing.

Going to the shop you went to years ago for your first and having the same guy do your kid’s first is pretty cool! Quality, consistency, and friendly, reliable artists definitely helped.

When & How Did You Get Started in this Business?

Doing business in Reno, downtown to be specific, has been awesome. There are so many people all working together to make this city be the best it can be. Whether you are a solo person running a small home business or part of a huge Casino, we are all moving in the same direction. That is powerful. Can not be denied. Look at the biggest little movement. That inspires me to make sure we aredoing our part.

I got into cooking a along time ago, because I love being in the middle of a somewhat chaotic industry. It reminds me of playing football and maybe it is a far reach for some to connect those dots, but to me, they are so alike.

What Inspires You To Go To Work Every Day? The planning, the strategy, the hard work, the extra work when no one is looking, calling plays, the ups and downs, the fans and the haters but mostly the teammates. I am inspired by everyone I work with and around. Obviously everyone who works at Campo, but I also include farmers, sales people, delivery drivers, all the people who help service us so we can do what we do. It is pretty cool.

I’ve been passionate about eating healthy for most of my life. I experienced food 13 sensitivities as a kid (including corn, soy and sugar … important to note that these are three foods that are included in the13list of high risk GMO crops and are in most 13 conventional processed foods) so I started to read 13 nutrition labels when I was twelve. Ten years ago 13 3 I was 1making my own kombucha and trying to convince my friends and family the proponents of probiotics so it’s no surprise to anyone who knows me that I now work in a food co-op!

What makes your business different than your competitors?

What sets us apart is that ‘we grow community.’

We are a local business born and bred in Reno and are committed to making the BLC a wonderful, healthy and sustainable place to live. We have developed- over our 8 years as a community owned grocery store- trusted, beautiful relationships with over 85 local farmers, ranchers and producers, which makes our store a special place with a really unique vibe.

Gift certificates make great gifts! Visit www.newsreview.com

I love 13 real food. I love people. And I love Reno. The Co-Op embodies all three so I feel truly blessed as I jump out of bed in the morning.

As a co-op we are owned by 6,000 people who all have an equal share in the company. How cool is that?

Why do you think RN&R readers vote you the best?

Any advice for people who want to make their business ‘The Best.’

Consumers are incredibly discerning so it’s a real honor to have won four awards, and I am super happy to see the good work of the co-op being recognized in this way … I am not surprised that we won Best Produce because I get to eat it everyday, and we really do have the best, most fresh (fill-in-the-blank)! Name your favorite fruit or veg, and as the RN&R has found, we really do have the best in town (in season that is)!

1st

When and how did you get started in this business?

After 23 years I changed to the career I’ve always wanted and went to Motocycle Mechanics Institute in Phoenix. I became a fully-certified HarleyDavidson Motorcycle Technician, with special recognitions in chassis and electrical training, only 1 of 15 students in my class who achieved this. During my schooling I was employed as the Operations Manager at Chester’s Harley-Davidson in Mesa, Arizona, and immediately loved the staff and owners of Chester Group. They treated me like family. I transferred to the Chester’s Reno Harley-Davidson dealership in February and rapidly advanced from the Parts Department to the Service Counter, where I can use my training and expertise, but also interact with customers, which is important to me because I am a people person.

Some of our customers are like close friends.

The Discovery opened to the public on September 10, 2011.

What inspires you to go to work every day?

Inspiring the curiosity and exploration that creates lifelong learners.

Got any advice for people who want to make their business the best?

Be loyal to your customers and inspire them to sing your praises.

Why do you think RN&R readers voted you the best?

The community’s pride in The Discovery.

It truly is a world-class museum right here in Reno.

What makes your business different than your competition?

What inspires you to go to work every day?

I work in one of the best industries and for the most recognized brand in the world, HarleyDavidson. I love working around bad ass motorcycles and no other job could be this much fun. Plus, the people I work with are some of the coolest cats in town. It’s not hard earning a paycheck this way.

The shear scale and immersive handson experience The Discovery offers cannot be found anywhere else in Northern Nevada.

PFPCo’s noble Pie Parlor We have always entertained an extremely high interest in food. I remember when the Food Network came out when I was about 12 or so. My dad was a big fan, so the tv was pretty much glued to that channel from that point forward. Trevor has some fine dining experience from Sezmu and I really got into pizza making while working at Blue Moon and Black Rock Pizza here in Reno. We have been extremely lucky to have been given proprietary dough and sauce recipes from Sicily, Italy and Brooklyn, NYC respectively.

What inspires you to go to work every day?

I think a passion and true pride to put out the best pizza (and everything else) that we can make. Having people go out of their way to let you know that it is the BEST pizza, wings, salad, etc that they have ever had or ever had outside of New York is a truly amazing feeling.

It also hurts deeply when people are unhappy with the product. We can’t be everything to everyone, but we take it very personally and we try our best to make improvements on a daily basis.

Why do you think the RNR readers voted you the BEST?

PLACE

What makes your business different than your competitors?

Well for one we are in the shop a lot actually working or just there making sure the food and the service is of the highest quality and consistency. We take a lot of time to hand-make items that other shops get delivered to them. A meatball or sausage that is made from scratch in house tastes a lot different than a meatball that has been made in a huge batch and shipped frozen. Not only is our food a cut above, but we also take time to make sure we have some great artisan beers and hand selected wines mostly from small family owned vineyards.

Any advice for people who want to make their business “the best”?

Train your body to run on a lot less sleep then it’s used to! Just teasing but really it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, passion and a willingness to never stop learning to be successful.

RN&R BEST OF NORTHERN NEVADA WINNERS GUIDE

Why do you think RN&R readers voted you the best?

That’s easy. The attention to detail, customer service and friendly staff. We pride ourselves on keeping our customers happy, on the road, well-equipped, burning gas. When staff is happy, customers can feel it.

What makes your business different than your competitors?

Honesty, dependability, the level of dedication and commitment every staff member shares, and the fact that at Chester’s the customer relationship and experience is just as important to us as the riding experience.

Any advice for people who want to make their business the best?

Take the time and actually listen to your customers. Their needs, wants and concerns should be your first priority. And treat your staff right, because a happy employee is the first step to building positive customer relationships.

No pain. No incision. No hospital stay.

I believe that the readers and this community have had a huge void in their options for fast, quality food in the downtown area (especially late at night). We take an incredible level of pride to tweaking and re-tweaking all of the recipes, processes, and scrutiny of which suppliers we use and product we accept. The tomatoes for the sauce are San Marzano. The meats are Boar’s Head and are sliced daily. Our flour in a blend and quality that only our shop purchases (to my knowledge).

645 N. ArliNgtoN Ave. Suite 120 reNo, Nv 89503 (775) 453–3319 IntervIew wIth LacIe n. BourLand, MBa When and how did you get started in this business?

Reno CyberKnife has been a member of the cancer community and a service of Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center since October 2008. The center originally opened as one of only a handful of CyberKnife programs within the United States offering stereotactic radiosurgery for the treatment of tumors. As a strong medical community, Reno was an ideal location for this innovative technology. I started with Reno CyberKnife in February 2012. I was recruited into CyberKnife, but have been a huge fan of the technology and its ability to help patients since it was first brought to the community.

What inspires you to go to work every day?

Being a part of a team that provides an amazing service to our community inspires me to go to work every day. I get to interact with inspiring people who have remarkable stories while working with extremely talented staff and physicians. Reno CyberKnife gives patients access to treatment that they may have otherwise been unable to receive. I love that we really do make a difference in the quality of life for our patients.

1st PLACE

What makes your business different than your competitors?

Reno CyberKnife provides the only CyberKnife technology in northern Nevada. Using CyberKnife, the center treats patients with a nonsurgical procedure called stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Patients are treated in five or fewer visits versus traditional radiation, which could be upward of 40 treatments. Patients experience minimal side effects from the treatment and people typically go back to work or daily life with minimal to no downtime. In addition, our staff and physicians are not only among the most experienced, but also the most compassionate when helping patients through their cancer journey.

Any advice for people who want to make their business the best?

I think in order to make your business the “best” you need to make sure that your customers/patients come first.

The rest will follow!

I think that readers voted us the best because we truly are the best at what we do! Working alongside Saint Mary’s Regional Medical Center and our physician partner, Radiation Oncology Associates, has afforded us the best that there is in Reno. Our patient care is exceptional, our services are state of the art and patients and their loved ones know that when they come to us for help, we are going to do everything we can to help them during what can be a an extremely emotional and difficult time.

Any advice for people who want to make their business “The Best?

There is no substitute for genuinely caring about your business. Your employees, vendors and certainly your customers will know soon enough whether you do or not. Make everyone involved a part of your quest for success; talk to them all, solicit their input and act upon it. Act as though you actually appreciate their having made the decision to choose your business.

1st

When & how did you get started in this business?

We started the Pet Play House in October of 2000 because we had our own dog who needed to attend daycare. We looked at daycares in our area and didn’t find what we felt our pet needed. That’s when we decided to travel and explore dog daycare facilities and concepts in larger cities and also around the world to see what other ideas were out there. We modeled the Pet Play House after the things we felt we and others in the Reno area would want for their own dogs.

What inspires you to go to work every day?

We like to see how happy our facility makes the doggies.

We offer a very different environment than a warehouse daycare or typical dog kennel, and we love to see how the dogs benefit from our happy home-like environment.

The fact that they come excited each day for daycare, or happy and relaxed each time their parents drop them off before a vacation is very rewarding!

Why do you think RN&R readers voted you the best?

Because doggy parents love picking up a tired dog at the end of their day or vacation, and going home to a house and yard that has NOT been destroyed by a bored or anxious pup!

What makes your business different than your competitors?

Our staff has a personal connection with each of our doggie clients, knowing their personalities and what makes them happy. Our facility is state-of-the-art, designed and build specifically for the dogs. Large windows and skylights which let plenty of natural sun shine into the indoor play areas, combined with an advanced ventilation system

are essential in providing a stress-free home-like environment. Our indoor play areas and outdoor yards are covered in K-9 Grass on raised grids for traction, cushioning and comfort. They are all connected through doggy doors so dogs are free to go inside and outside as they choose. And we have a “small dog only” area with its own yard, separate from the big doggie areas. Our staff provides close supervision and 24hr pampering for all doggie guests, whether they’re staying just for the day or for an extended vacation!

Any advice for people who want to make their business “The Best”?

Do a lot of research to find out what people are looking for, and then also figure out what you would want if you were your customer, and model your business around that criteria.

1st

When and how did you get started in this business?

I was inspired by my father’s love of cooking. Growing up in Chicago gave me many opportunities to try a vast variety of the culinary arts.

I wanted to get into the industry and entered as a first time business owner. Seven years later I have maintained the legacy of 5 Star Saloon as the oldest and most popular gay hangout in Reno, learned new skills that have allowed me to continually improve the 5 Star experience, and introduced one of the hottest upcoming clubs in Reno – Rise Night Club.

What makes your business different than your competition?

When you visit the Rap you feel welcome, as if you are having a meal with very close friends or family.

What inspires you to go to work every day?

My need to share what I love and what I have learned about food over the years.

What inspires you to go to work every day?

Got any advice for people who want to make their business the best?

All of my employees inspire me. To date, between 5 Star and Rise, I employ approximately 60 staff. They all are incredible people, work hard and take ownership of their responsibilities – I am very lucky to have such a great team.

Why do you think RN&R readers voted you the best? What really makes us different is that we I have only been able to add what I know about food to this already greatly established restaurant! It is the staff and our guests that have remained with us year after year...it is a loyalty that makes this restaurant one of the very best in Reno.

When and how did you get started in this business?

Don Carano opened the Eldorado Hotel Casino in 1973 with 282 guest room, two restaurants and 10,000 square feet of gaming space with 200 slots and 12 table games. Since then, the Eldorado has seen numerous expansions and remodels. Located in what is now considered the heart of downtown Reno, the Eldorado boasts nine award-winning restaurants, unlimited nightlife, a Broadway-style showroom, 817 luxuriously appointed guest room and 81,000 square feet of gaming action, including 1,500 of the most popular, industry leading slots, 55 table games, a Keno Lounge, state-of-the-art Race & Sports Book and Poker Room.

Why do you think RN&R readers voted you the best?

At the Eldorado, we strive to always be the best – from our world-class service and friendly employees to our incredible food and great promotions like Power Pennies. We make all our food fresh daily in our nine award-winning restaurants, we bring in fantastic Broadway-style shows to our showroom and we are committed to creating an excellent guest experience..

PLACE

What makes your business different than your competition?

We have the most incredible employees who go above and beyond for our guests each and every day. They make a genuine effort to take care of all our guests’ needs. We’re also a family-owned property with very involved owners. The Carano family truly cares about the community and making the Eldorado experience the best it can be.

Got any advice for people who want to make their business the best?

What you put into it is what you get out of it. We put the very best into every aspect of our guests’ experience – whether it’s our courteous staff, the incredible food, the electrifying nightlife, the dynamic gaming and exciting casino promotions... appreciate your guests’ patronage and let it show.
