COMMERCE

Best New Business

Editor's note: We regret that a mistake was made in the print version of these results on Thursday, Jan. 28. We mistakenly labeled as the winner Restaurant Salaam. The actual winner is Dunham's Sports (as the short writeup in the print edition explains). How did this happen? A series of dumb mistakes says it all. Our apologies for the mixup.

Dunham’s Sports

Dunham’s Sports on East State Street has won this year as best new business in Athens. This huge sporting goods store occupying the old K mart spot in The Market on State boasts sports-related stuff out the wazoo, whatever that is. And if a wazoo has anything to do with sports, you can bet that Dunham’s has plenty of wazoos in stock too.

Second place goes to Kiser’s BBQ Shack, featuring that authentic southern BBQ that would make Slim Pickens howl for more.

Third place goes to Zonez on West Union Street, where, according to their Facebook site, impossible is nothing! This place offers some of the best promotional products for businesses around.
