Mighty-O wins 2009 Seattle Award

WASHINGTON D.C., June 8, 2009 — Mighty-O has been selected for the 2009 Seattle Award in the Retail Bakeries category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

The USCA “Best of Local Business” Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USCA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2009 USCA Award Program focused on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USCA and data provided by third parties.

Mighty-O’s Prizewinning Namesake

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

We were quite surprised to get a phone call announcing that our name has been winning awards and championships lately! No, not for our baking or for our organic foods or sustainability. Our name has been winning dog shows! An adorable little Shih Tzu named Mighty-O after our donuts has earned a large collection of trophies. We’ll let her introduce herself:

“Hello… I’m miss MiGHTY O of Park Avenue. I’m a champion, especially here at home with Kaaren and Ron… My room is lined with blue ribbons- best in breed - best in show ribbons… it was with hugs and kisses that my parents Sharon and Ed Nye retired me from the show rings so I could have the luxury of dragging my New York purse around the house. Secret: my favorite is my baby sock with the hidden treasure: A SQUEAKER !!!”

We’re honored and flattered to have our name attached to such a beauty!!
