Favorite Specialty/Gift Shop Winner Revealed

This week's Readers' Choice winner is in and we'd like to congratulate Instant Ambition, the latest to join the weekly winners.

The specialty shop that sells a wide variety of K-Cups and other New Hampshire-made projects is located in the Skyline Mall just north of the old Shaw's plaza on Daniel Webster Highway. There are also tables at the shop and Keurig coffee makers for people to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with friends.

Instant Ambition joins our first six weeks of winners: Drapoel Salon, Shawn Pacheco's PMA, Broadway Bound Performing Art Center, South Garden Restaurant, Florence's Restaurant and Swan Chocolates.

One of the best things about this series of polls is hearing all the great things the residents and visitors of Merrimack have to say about the businesses in town.

Here's a sample of this week's comments:

"We've been going to them for as long as I can remember for seasonal needs as well as everyday items. I guess if you call buying a christmas tree/wreath, a pumpkin, fall mums, spring flowers, summer corn, etc "specialty items" then we have been and and will continue to be customers." –

"BROWN'S VILLAGE DEPOT, gets my vote!! Always a great selection of items at fantastic prices, along with friendly folks behind the counter....what more could anyone ask for?" –

"Great selecton of K Cups as well as rotating selections of other gift items and home needs. It's a great place to have a small meeting or party too!
The management is very friendly and helpful. Love this place!!!" –

"Best place in Merrimack,NH to have a great cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich and dont forget about the k-cups and the nh made pods." –

"Wonderful gift shop with a great variety. Owners are really nice and friendly and making our shopping experience a pleasure." –

"So many things are great about this business . . . that they have been in business as long as they have and survived a down economy when many other flower shops have not; they stand behind their products - including their fresh flowers; they provide excellent customer service; and they have great selection of gifts, plants and flowers. GREAT SHOP. GREAT SERVICE. GREAT PEOPLE." –

Join us for the eighth week of round one starting Monday morning at 5 a.m.
