Among the other 2014 winners of the Best of Bethesda award is business software and consulting firm BroadPoint. The winners are determined by information the Bethesda Award Program organization gathers internally, and from third party data.
"We appreciate our customers and the people in the community who voted," Bradley Party & Variety's Brian Dimock said yesterday. The store is located at 6922 Arlington Road, in the Bradley Shopping Center next to Strosniders.
Do the award givers have any perspective from the community? I don't care for either but wasn't it just recently that Bradley/Strosnider was accused of pushing out Bruce Variety?
ReplyDeleteYes this is shocking. I'm sure it's a fine store but I'll never set foot in it after what went down with Bruce Variety.

ReplyDeleteCorrect, the Strosnider family owns that. The owner of Bruce Variety used to be married to one of the Strosniders. There was some unpleasant family politics involved.
That said, the old Bruce Variety was seriously overdue for an update. Both the Bradley Party and Variety and the new Bruce's location look much nicer.
Yeah I agree they both look better. But certainly not glowing with a "positive image" for their award.
DeleteCongrats bradley you all deserve it! Rverytimr I go in the staff is so helpful and pleasant. They even let me in 5 minutes after closing last night, we are lucky to have a store like this. People can say and accuse all they want but I tend to have a hard time believing all of it when they seem to have a great staff and they make the extra effort to let people in after close. Thanks bradley party and variety!
ReplyDeleteEverytime* rather sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteWill Bethesda's real variety store please stand up?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the "Bethesda Award Program" anyway. Their decision is based on information gathered internally?
ReplyDeletepeople go to bethesda magazines website and vote on their favorite local bethesda stores.
ReplyDeleteAnyone get their copy of The Gazette this week? It had a "Best of Montgomery" section, but 90% of the best businesses, restaurants in the country are apparently in the Gaithersburg area (according to their lists).
ReplyDeleteOut of dozens of businesses, restaurants, etc. a couple were in Bethesda.
At least it wasn't written from a tourists point of view, like Washingtonian Magazine's best of bethesda.
