Time to Pick Merrimack's Top Small Business

Merrimack has dozens of small businesses throughout town that we know provide excellent service to the residents and visitors of town. We want to know which ones you think are tops.

Starting Monday, Merrimack Patch is featuring a three month-long tournament to determine which small commercial business residents deem tops here. We'll start with 12 separate categories and take the top vote-getter from each five-day voting period and advance that business to the next round. We'll start the vote over in the Great 12, and then again in the Patch-tastic Four and in the Championship round of this tournament.

The business that claims the crown will be featured here on Patch early in the summer.

We'll pin a tournament link to the home page so you can go back and vote if you missed a day and keep track of the vote each round. If you feel we've missed a local small business (3 local stores or less), let us know in the poll's comment section, and, if the omission qualifies, we'll add it to the Best of the Rest polls at the end of the opening round.

To cast your vote each week, we will ask you to write the name of the business in the comments field.

Check back Monday for the first round.
