Raleigh, NC- The Triangle Business Journal has introduced the all-new 2016 Family Business Awards. The Family Business Award seeks to honor family-owned businesses in the Triangle for overall excellence, innovation, ethics, philanthropy and contribution to the strength of the region.
The Family Business Award coincides with Shop Local Raleigh’s mission to build awareness and give recognition to local-owned business of Wake County and the Triangle abroad. This award will distinguish locally owned, family-owned business from the larger big box stores and in turn create a healthy competitive environment for businesses to receive the recognition that comes with winning the Family Business Award.
