Local businesses named 2024’s Best of Asheville in community contest

ASHEVILLE, NC, September 25, 2024 –Asheville Media Group (AMG), has revealed the winners of the Best of Asheville 2024 at BestofAVL.com. Winners have also been recognized in the Best of Asheville magazine, available today at select area Ingles Markets.

Best of Asheville invites those who live and shop in the 828 to share their love for local businesses, stores, and restaurants by nominating and voting for their favorites.

This year marked the program’s fourth anniversary, and it was its biggest yet. Earlier this year, Asheville Media Group radio stations invited listeners to nominate individuals and businesses they believed were the best at what they do. Thousands of local businesses and places were nominated in 246 subcategories. The winners were decided by 131,000 votes from customers, fans, and supporters.

The awards boost morale for business owners and employees and increase exposure for local places.

AMG takes pride in showcasing the hard work and dedication of local businesses each year. AMG Market President Tom Davis says community engagement is the heart of the contest. “The Best of Asheville program would not succeed without the steadfast support the Asheville community provides each year,” said Davis. “We’re thrilled for the winners and appreciate everyone who voted and supported local businesses.”
