Nominate A Pelham Business For Best Of The Year

PELHAM, NY — It's been a roller-coaster year for most Hudson Valley businesses. The coronavirus pandemic presented enormous challenges for most local businesses, from the stay-home orders in the spring to enduring restrictions and other hurdles that continue this fall.

But that hasn't stopped many of our small businesses from continuing to offer the products and services beloved by their regular customers. Many of Pelham's best-known businesses have managed to navigate the turbulence with steadfast determination and an unwavering commitment to the clients they serve.

Whether it's the restaurant that made special accommodations for your takeout, the shop that opened early so you could pick up curbside, the pizzeria that went out of its way to deliver to your home, or the hardware store owner that offered you invaluable advice when a repairman wasn't available — we want to hear about the businesses that have impacted your life this year.

To shine a special spotlight on these local businesses, we are asking our Patch readers to nominate Local Businesses of the Year. Tell us the name of the business, where it's located, why it deserves recognition and what specific steps have earned your allegiance. Be as specific as possible! Your comments could be included in a Patch feature article about the business.

You can nominate any local business you feel should be recognized. (You can also fill it out at the bottom of this page.) That includes retail stores, restaurants, hardware shops, dry cleaners, plumbers, car mechanics, salons and more. You can even nominate the business you work for if you feel they've gone above and beyond in helping their employees through this uncharted time.

Patch will regularly feature nominated businesses throughout November and December. Please submit your nomination by Dec. 10.

Additionally, if you are a business owner who would like to share more information about your services and offerings, sign up to be included in Patch's free Local Business Information Center.
