Most of us know that local businesses are the backbone of a healthy economy — but it's great to get a little extra reminder of the strength of our local business community.

Our Better Business Bureau recently honored El Paso area businesses in six areas of excellence. Any local business could be nominated, whether they belonged to the BBB or not.

“The goal of the BBB Awards for Excellence is for all to learn from these great businesses and employees. Today, more than ever, it’s necessary that we celebrate organizations in our region who operate with integrity and that are positive examples in areas that mirror the core values of the BBB,” Marybeth Stevens, BBB Paso del Norte President, said in a news release.

Please join us in congratulating them on this great accomplishment — and remember, the BBB plays an important role in rating and accrediting local businesses while also providing marketplace trust education materials for both consumers and business leaders.
