“The Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau is always striving to come up with bigger and better ways to market the city of Alpharetta to visitors,” said Janet Rodgers, president and CEO of the Alpharetta Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Our marketing team came up with this campaign after hearing that so many businesses pride themselves in being found only in Alpharetta. Especially with the research components, this campaign has been a work in progress for many months and we are excited to finally be able to unveil it."
Restaurants on the list include Alpha Soda, which holds claim to being the oldest business in Alpharetta; and Colletta which won the “Best Meatball in 2015” by the Atlanta Meatball Festival.
The team also found that the city’s shops are run by many family teams such as the sister owners at Sis and Moons and the mother-daughter duo at Honey and Hazel. Read about all of the businesses that can only be found in Alpharetta on www.awesomealpharetta.com.
