Which Madison Businesses Go the 'Extra Mile'?

If you've dealt with someone at a Madison business who goes above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service, the Madison Chamber of Commerce wants to hear from you.

The chamber has announced it once again is offering the Extra Mile Award to a Madison business owner or employee who provides "that extra-special friendly and knowledgeable service" to truly make a difference in a customer’s shopping experience.

The Madison Chamber of Commerce is accepting nominations from the public until June 1. Winners will be invited to the chamber’s Annual Award Picnic on Tuesday, June 11, at Hamilton Park Hotel & Conference Center in Florham Park.

The dinner, the chamber’s largest social event of the year, includes the presentation of the Business Improvement Awards, Community Service Awards and the Jack Morris Memorial Scholarship Award.

“The spirit of the 'Love Madison Shop Madison' campaign is embodied in the employees and entrepreneurs who work so very hard in Madison's stores and restaurants," Chamber President Ken Toumey said in a news release. "They provide superior customer service everyday and make shopping in Madison a unique, pleasurable and rewarding experience. The Extra Mile Award gives these fine business people the public recognition they deserve."

You can email your nomination to Karen Meyer, the chamber's executive director, at info@MadisonNJChamber.org. Include your nominee's name, place of business, the reason for your nomination and your contact information.
