The votes are in for the 2017 Mom-Approved Awards in Northwest Arkansas! We and our fellow mamas appreciate companies who go above and beyond to make local mothers feel welcome and valued.
Please note that the top 3 businesses in each category are listed in random order (not always by number of votes). In some categories, there are four companies listed, indicating there was a tie for one of the top 3 spots. (After votes were tallied, winners were given the opportunity to advertise their win and thank moms for their votes.)
We’ve got a printable version! CLICK HERE to get the printable version of the winner’s list so you can keep it on hand for recommendations throughout the year. Feel free to share with mama friends who are new to the area and might need help finding Northwest Arkansas’ best mom-friendly businesses.
Winning voter: Each person who voted was automatically entered in a drawing for a $250 Visa shopping card, provided by our sponsor Grand Savings Bank. Congratulations to Jamie Stein who won the Visa shopping card, simply by submitting a vote!
For the first time this year, we asked voters to also submit ONE vote for the “Best Overall Mom-Approved Business.” Congrats to our first overall winner, Fayetteville Martial Arts!
