For the past three years, we have taken February as a month to spotlight the local businesses that make our Piedmont Triad the best place to be.
- In 2022, we personally selected 70 local businesses and organizations that we believed deserved appreciation and hand-delivered them cookies and an appreciation card.
- In 2023, we invited our patients to nominate their favorite local businesses and once again, hand-delivered 33 highlighted local businesses with cookies and appreciation cards.
- In 2024, we once again asked our patients to nominate more deserving businesses, and we hand-delivered 17 boxes of Valentine’s cookies to their doors to show our appreciation.
This year, we delivered certificates to 21 amazing businesses around us that were nominated by our patients as their favorite local places – whether they’re food, grooming services, marketplaces, healthcare services, specialty product producers, and more!

Deep Roots Market started as a non-profit on Spring Garden Street many years ago, Joyce recalls, and she’s glad that they have since moved to downtown Greensboro to sell organic items and locally grown products.
Joyce buys many different flours, beans, and grains, as well as all her dried herbs – she likes that she can scoop the products out of bins and jars to get just as much product as she wants!

Whether they’re fixing up his car or saving his teen daughter from being stranded due to a bad battery in her car, Ron loves the dependability and efficient work that Steve’s Amoco has to offer.
