The Starke County Chamber of Commerce has selected its Business of the Year for 2017.
Fingerhut Bakery was announced this week as the recipient. Chamber committee members tasked with making the selection said their decision was influenced by the number, and quality of comments the business received during the chamber’s nomination and selection process.
The Starke County Chamber of Commerce accepted applications for its Business of the Year award between late September and October 10th. There were several requirements that the winner had to meet, including: being in operation for three years, be a chamber member, and contribute to charitable causes and community involvement.
Fingerhut Bakery received praise by customers for providing pastries and other treats for Starke County. Apart from what members of the public said was great customer service the bakery was also championed for its community involvement - donating to several charitable causes over the years.
The company takes over the award for Kersting’s Cycle Center - which was the 2016 winner. Fingerhut Bakery will be honored at a Chamber of Commerce dinner during the winter months.
The Business of the Year committee noted the number of positive reviews Fingerhut Bakery received for its locations in Bass Lake and Knox, not just a single locale, as helping to secure the honor.
A press release indicates that the Chamber of Commerce felt the quality of nominations was top notch compared to previous years.
