This year instead of state winners and one national winner in each size category, we selected the best shops as finalists regardless of geography and these were presented to the judging panel made up of Sandra Noach of IQBodyGroup, Steve Lozenkovski of Bears Group, Ben Fewtrell of MaxMyProfit, Greg Preston of Plastfix, Brenda Iverson of Iversons.
You can read all about the winners and finalists now in the digital version of the magazine.
