Meet the créme de la créme in our annual Readers’ Choice Poll.
As the days stretch longer and the sun shines brighter, it’s the perfect time to celebrate what makes this season unforgettable. Just like summer itself, our annual Best of Maple Grove highlights the standout businesses, places and service providers that shine all year long. And, Readers, you did yourselves proud this year! An outstanding number of you voted online in January, met your finalists in March and so patiently waited for this moment to arrive. And now, it’s here—say hello to your Best of Maple Grove winners. Cheers! —Hailey Almsted
