Allied Stone received the 2009 Consumers Choice Award™ (CCA) for Business Excellence in the category of Countertop Surfaces Suppliers & Installers - (Granite & Marble). The Consumer's Choice Award™ was established in 1986 to identify and promote business excellence. The CCA program commissions a survey each year in which consumers are asked to identify their favorite business. Respondents are asked to consider criteria such as Value, Professionalism, and Service when making their selection.

The Consumers' Choice Award™ is an initiative of the Consumers' Choice Institute which has retained a leading independent research firm to conduct surveys in major North American cities. It is unique in that winners are determined by consumers and not by a panel of judges. The survey covers a broad range of industry categories of interest to both the public and business communities. Its purpose is to publicly identify those establishments that have been voted by consumers as being their choice for excellence.

The Consumers' Choice Award™ is a prestigious tribute to business excellence and is encouraged by all levels of goverment and by business leaders.
