About the Top Retail Stores in the 2023 Boston Parents Paper Family Favorites
Boston Parent’s Family Favorites was born with the idea to give readers in Greater Boston and throughout New England a chance to voice their opinions on their personal ‘Family Favorite’ choices for Retail Stores and all kinds of everyday categories. The program has evolved over the years, and hopefully, with a lot of input from our readers, we’ve been able to make it better and better.
The voting for Family Favorites Retail Stores is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of February with open write-in nominations for reader’s favorite Retail Stores taking place. Write-in nominations continue to be open until the middle of April.
As the nomination period for Retail Stores in the first round comes to a close in mid-April, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominee Retail Stores being selectable in this final round of voting during the month of April and May. Write-in nominations are no longer available, and voters are open to select their favorite Retail Stores from among those that are listed.
The final winners are posted in August in the Boston Parent Magazine.
We hope you enjoy! And we hope you cast your vote next year!
