BEST JEWELER This category is always a shining example of flawless quality available in Kansas City: Watches, necklaces, rings, and dia mond fittings are the specialties of these honorees, who can evaluate and repair your most prized heirlooms and special pieces. MEIEROTTO JEWELERS wins the Gold —quite fitting for a company that specializes in the very best of luxury acces sories. TIVOL is the pride of two plazas— Country Club and Hawthorne—as our Silver winner, and JOSLIN’S JEWELRY in Overland Park narrowly but deserved ly claims Bronze . Of note: all are multi generational, family-run companies, a tes- tament to hard work, quality, and endur ance. BEST LIQUOR/WINE SELLER Without the gifts of fermentation and dis tillation, the world would certainly be a far less happy place. LUKAS WINE & SPIR ITS SUPERSTORE takes Gold with its huge selection of wine, beer, spirits—even cigars. Service is the name of the game at Lukas, where a courteous staff member is just around the corner. GOMER’S takes

Silver for its reputation as a steadfast cor nerstone of the communities they serve. For their excellent selections and family roots in Kansas City, both MIKE’S WINE & SPIRITS and RED X share the Bronze . BEST OFFICE FURNISHING FIRM Office furnishings are not just about pro viding tools or a space to work; workplace design is about building a home for work ers, one that also meets customer needs. Our Gold winner, SCOTT RICE OFFICE WORKS , provides office furniture, divid ing walls, and desks that create communi ties for its clients. Silver winner ENCOM PAS takes pains to learn customers’ needs and designs offices accordingly. Serving Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, JOHN A. MARSHALL CO. , our Bronze winner, has built office spaces for four generations of family ownership. BEST MEN’S APPAREL Dressing to impress is hard enough, but even more so in this highly competitive voting. HALLS KANSAS CITY in Crown Center emerges from the scrum as Gold winner, thanks in part to its extensive col

lection of designer brands and accessories and their style experts who can guarantee swagger and satisfaction. Work and play go hand in hand at Silver winner NORD STROM , which caters to every need from sports apparel to business suits. Bronze this year came to a tie between a long standing legacy PETER’S CLOTHIERS in its new location on State Line Road and a seven-year young legacy in ULAH in Westwood. BEST WOMEN’S APPAREL Here’s an indication of shopping trends: the top two in women’s apparel are the same stores cited in the men’s category. HALLS KANSAS CITY ’s designer col lections for women are the epitome of confidence and beauty as the summer really kicks off, and good for Gold . NOR DSTROM ’s chic range of light wear and bold styles for dress occasions are perfect for any occasion and sew up the Silver . And for Bronze , an oldie but a goodie: MACY’S . It takes a lot for a chain that’s 150-plus years old to stick around—spe cifically, fashion sense, style, and excellent service, all traits of the Barry Road, Towne Center and Oak Park Mall locations.
