We have our Best of Pinal County results here for you, as published in Golden Corridor LIVING. This is A detailed guide to the best providers of goods and services as selected by our readers. These are the people and businesses who really give the Golden Corridor its shine, making it shimmer for residents and visitors alike.
Our many categories are broken down into sections about people, pets, services, lifestyle, shopping, and food and drink, covering most all the facets of your life here in this “just right” slice of the desert between Tucson and Phoenix.
We’re thrilled to say participation in our survey is way up this year, so we have a broader base of voters sharing their recommendations with you. We’re thankful for all of them!
It’s always a joy for us to recognize and celebrate excellence in our community, and this year our voters are letting us spread the wealth even more, with tied winners in several categories. Our nominees and winners are getting more geographically diverse, with locations and services in Casa Grande, Maricopa, Superior, Florence, Picacho, and Gold Canyon rising to the top of various lists.
Being the best of Pinal means you’re one of the go-to places in a region on the rise with new employers, new people, and new ideas building on the strong foundation laid by farmers, ranchers, miners, builders, teachers, and many others who recognized its potential.
The businesses and people you’ll read about are here for the long haul and will grow along with our county as it attracts more new, sustainable development to the desert. Read on to see who they are, and then thank them for all they do!
