It's an honor to be one of the firstto tell each and every winner of ourannual Best of Wilson County...

Congratulations!It’s a big deal that your name, or the name of

your business appears in this edition. After weeks of tabulating votes, we can finally let the public know of the results. As for you winners, you can now claim the

title of being the very best at what you do! I hope you won’t take that honor lightly. Special thanks too, to those who took the time and completed our Best of

Wilson County ballot. Our readers didn’t have to do this and there was nothing in it for them, other than taking the opportunity to recognize those people and busi-nesses who bend over backwards every single day for the customers they serve. As most businesses would attest, our reason for being is to serve our customers. And whether you serve food, financial needs or provide a towing service, your customers have spoken!

We truly consider it an honor to spearhead the annual Best of Wilson County awards, and understand it is a privilege for us here at Lebanon Publishing. We take the voting process very seriously and publish the results of those votes without bias or tampering. What you see before you is what our readers and your customers have submitted. We’re proud of that fact.

Congratulations to those who won this year

and to those who’ve invested in thanking your friendsand your customers for voting you number one!

Demos’ Restaurants has been a 25-year tradition, offering authentic family recipes at an authentic family value right here in Lebanon and three other locations in Middle Tennessee. After winning “Best Steak” in Wilson County in the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013 2014, and 2015 Best of Wilson County competition, Demos’ has secured them-selves as a familiar and enjoyable dining experience among those who seek original family recipes and impeccable service.

The Demos family opened their first location in Murfreesboro in 1989. Their friendly, family atmosphere coupled with four generations of original family recipes distinguish them from their competitors. Pasta sauces, soups and salad dressings are homemade, steaks are hand-cut, and every item is cooked to perfection just as your mother and grandmother might have done. Their quality dining experience has served them well—it is no wonder Demos’ has received numerous “Best” awards including “Best Family Restaurant”, “Most Popular” and “Most Romantic” restaurant in numerous polls.

Family owned and operated, Demos’ consistent high standards in food quality and service have been unmatched. They serve a variety of steaks, pastas, chicken, and seafood at lunch and dinner and their management approach enables them to deliver this variety and quality at an affordable price. They offer 72 entrees from $6.99-$9.99 and 80% of their lunch entrees are under $7. And you can enjoy a daily lunch special for $4.99-$6.99 every Monday-Friday.

Demos’ is located at 130 Legends Drive in Lebanon. Other locations include Mur-freesboro, Nashville, and Hendersonville. They are open from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 11:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

IT’S OUR WAY OF SAYING THANKS FOR VOTING ZAXBY’S “BEST CHICKEN” THREE YEARS IN A ROW!

JOIN US ON JULY 31FOR A FREE NIBBLER!

The Lebanon Zaxby’s, located at 638 S. Cumberland St., was recently voted “Best Chicken” in Wilson County. This is the restaurant’s fifth com-munity-elected honor for “Best Chicken” which it first received in July of 2010. The location has received a total of six awards since opening its doors in November of 2004, when it was voted “Best New Restaurant in Wilson County.”

Since the time of their opening, brother-and-sister licensees Lee Oliver and Bonnie Ryan have derived

their success from Zaxby’s simple operating philosophy and mission statement — consistently create encore experiences that enrich lives one person at a time. “That statement is behind everything we do,” said Oliver. “It is the driving force behind the food we prepare and how we treat our guests, our team and our community.” This is apparent in the numerous community events and charities in which the Lebanon Zaxby’s continu-ously participates.

To thank the community for these honors, the Lebanon Zaxby’s

location will hold a Free Nibbler Day, Friday, July 31st. Guests who dine at the Lebanon location will receive one

FREE Nibbler with their meal.

Lee and Lee Attorneys at Law, P.C.

THE STORY IS TOLD that Robert E. Lee acquired the building in which the firm practices by somewhat of an accident. In 1977, Mr. Lee was walking in front of 109 East Gay Street one morning to get a cup of coffee at the Ideal City Cafe. The building was being auctioned while he was walking by. The auctioneer shouted to Mr. Lee to make a bid so, Mr. Lee made a bid but kept walking to get his cup of coffee. After having his coffee and without giving the auction any more thought, Mr. Lee ventured back to his office. As he walked back in front of the building, the auctioneer informed Mr. Lee that he was the proud new owner. Lee and Lee Attorneys has been housed in that building ever since.

Lee & Lee Attorneys, P.C. is a general practice law firm founded in 1959 by Robert E. Lee. The firm’s reputation is deeply rooted in its success in practice, service and loyalty to the community. The firm has been an affiliate member of the Eastern Middle Tennessee Board of Realtors since 1990, and members of the Lebanon/Wilson County, Mt. Juliet and Watertown Chambers of Commerce. Both Robert Evans Lee and J. Mark Lee are past Chairmen of the Board of the Lebanon-Wilson County Chamber of Commerce. In December 2006, Robert E. Lee passed away. Robert Evans (Bob) Lee and his brother Mark Lee continue to operate the firm today. Kyle B. Heckman serves on the Wilson County Fair Board and is a Hearing Pan-elist for the Supreme Court of Tennessee’s Board of Professional Responsibility. Both Kyle Heckman and Chris Ross live in Mt.

Thank You to everyone that voted for Southern Manor and

thank you to the staff of Southern Manor for their continuous hard work and dedication.

Harrison’s Lock Service is locally owned and operated, and has been in business since 1945. The company began as “Bill’s Fix it Shop” by William “Bill” Lavender, and was sold to Jerry Dew in 1976. Current owners Ron and Naomi Harrison purchased it in 1986, and the company has grown exponentially since that time and is now one of the largest companies of its type in the nation. Spe-cializing in high security and key control solutions with brands such as Medeco and Mul-T-Lock, they continue to offer Wilson County and Middle Tennessee the best solutions for commercial, residential, and automotive security, and also has a commercial door replacement division. Call us today for a free analysis and quote!

Harrison’s Lock service The jewelersBest Locksmith Best Jewelery Store

2015 was a year of change for The Jewelers with their move to a beautifully renovated location on Lebanon’s west side. Owner and Master Designer Shawn Smith’s great appreciation for artistry and fine craftsmanship reveals itself in the new showroom, anchored by an eye-catching blown glass centerpiece created by a local artist. Shawn wanted The Jewelers’ new space to feel like a well-loved older home or a century old retail store. The warm wood flooring, refinished showcases and a repurposed barnwood wall – among other unique touches – accomplish that goal.

The Jewelers carries that uniqueness through in their jewelry designs. With two award winning jewelers and thousands of pieces of jewelry in their inventory, if they don’t have it, they can create it.

“We have gained a great reputation for being a bit outside the box. Our clients are all individuals. That is why we aren’t a cookie cutter jewelry store,” Shawn says.

One of few stores that repairs and designs on site, The Jewelers know their clients’ personal tastes. Their love of the craft is evident with every piece that leaves their store. Whether it is a first-time engagement, long-time anniversary, birth of a child or, maybe even a “just because,” they always know just what to do to help cli-ents select that perfect gift.

Shawn added, “For the last 18 years Wilson County has allowed me to be part of some of the most precious moments in their lives. We are truly grateful and look forward to many more years of being your “Favorite” jewelry store!”

Stop by and see why The Jewelers was voted Best Jewelry Store for two years in a row and be a part of their growth in Lebanon!

Rose Tire & Service – celebrating 44 years in business - has been honored year after year as Best Tire Store in Wilson County. Now they can also claim the title Best Auto Service.

“We’ve always in in the hunt for ‘Top Shop’ and are excited the readers and our custom-ers chose us this year,” said Chip Smith, who bought Rose Tire in 1995. “We couldn’t do it without our customers. It’s a great honor!”

Chip credits his shop team, led by Service Manager David Pugh, with building customer loyalty and confidence. David has 15 years’ experience as a service manager, the last eight at Rose Tire. The Wilson County native is the son of a lifelong mechanic. “My dad didn’t want me to be a mechanic, so I guess I took it to the next level as a service manager.”

“We treat every customer like they’re family. I try to be as honest and detailed as I can to help the customer under-stand what needs to be done, and keep them informed along the way,” David said.

Rose Tire & Service averages working on 50 to 60 cars daily –they topped out at 120 in one day. Their shop crew in-cludes 18 mechanics and service technicians - all have been with the company for five years or longer, along with Master Technician Dayn Laude.

Couches, massage chairs, popcorn and a big screen T.V., welcome customers as they walk into Rose Tire. With Josh Pugh (David’s brother) as General Manager, Chip, Tommy, Chris and Kathryn are waiting to overwhelm customers with good old fashioned service. It’s even emblazoned on the wall above a display of tires: “At Rose Tire & Service, cars are our passion and over the top customer service is our promise.”

Wilson Bank & Trust Integrating Home-town Service and New Technology

Feel stuck choosing between a friendly local bank that knows you by name, and the larger institutions that can offer more conve-nience and capabilities?

In Wilson County, the best option (the ‘Best of the Best,’ in fact) is not to choose between the two at all – because there’s no reason you can’t have both. Wilson Bank & Trust is working hard every day to provide an ideal combination of electronic options and outstanding service, not to mention a compre-hensive menu of financial services.

Taking good care of customers is simply part of Wilson Bank’s culture, going back to the day the bank opened in 1987. Today, as then, customer service begins with a great team of employees. By cultivating a workplace based on faith and family, WB&T has estab-lished a reliable workforce of banking profes-sionals who like where they work, a fact that was confirmed recently when Wilson Bank & Trust was named one of Middle Tennessee’s 2015 Top Workplaces by The Tennessean.

The values that make WB&T a great place to work also help the staff create an enviroment of care and comfort for each cus-tomer they reach.

Convenience is another staple at WB&T. Throughout Wilson County, branch locations

and ATMs are more than plentiful, giving you quick and handy options anytime you need to make a transaction in person. And inside the doors of each Wilson Bank & Trust office, convenience remains a big priority. In addition to a range of deposit and savings products for all types of everyday banking needs (including free Kasasa checking accounts with rewards you can really use), there’s always easy ac-cess to an employee who can help you with mortgage and construction lending, business banking, insurance and investment products, identity protection and more. New capabilities also allow you to replace or renew your debit card instantly at any branch if you wish.

Of course, in today’s world, convenience at physical bank locations is just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to consistent growth and expanding resources, it’s become a realistic goal for Wilson Bank & Trust to be a financial technology leader in Middle Tennes-see. Without losing the personal touch, the

bank’s online and mobile capabilities keep expanding, and tech-related products and services continue to give WB&T customers added convenience and security. Options like mobile check deposits, free mobile alerts for debit transactions and a MoneyDesktop personal financial management tool are just a few examples. Later this year, Wilson Bank & Trust debit cards will get an upgrade with the addition of EMV chips, a feature that improves security in card transactions. WB&T has also been helping commercial clients get prepared to accept EMV cards.

Outstanding service and the latest electronic capabilities are vital, but there’s yet another facet of community banking at which Wilson Bank & Trust excels. Being a hometown institution means giving back and staying involved, and WB&T continues to be a

community-oriented organization to the core. Hosting events is one of the primary ways the bank keeps connected with neighbors and patrons. Through car shows, Family Fun Days, the annual Southern Home and Garden Expo, outdoor movie nights, free shred days, stockholder picnics and WB&T’s signature event each fall, Oktoberfest, bank employees have regular opportunities to interact with cus-tomers and to get to know them better outside of business hours. Wilson Bank & Trust also goes all out to participate in community events like the Wilson County Fair, where employees distribute free popsicles and lemonade to fair visitors at three different booths. Aside from events, giving back at WB&T means support-ing numerous schools and charitable orga-nizations through sponsorships, donations, special programs and volunteer hours.

Elizabeth Scruggs, owner of Superior Construction and Design, is a licensed general contractor, interior decorator (IDS), and expert psychological stager (EPS; RESA-Pro) who loves what she does and loves that she can get up every day “and help put a smile on someone’s face.”

She can handle your project from start to finish – building your home, then putting together a finished interior design to reflect your style.

“I started building about 20 years ago when I built our first home in Lebanon and fell in love with the process. I usually have several very different projects go-ing at once, and that is what I love.”

From expertly staging real estate using a psychological method in which she is certified, to a complete remodel or new construction, to color specification for your interior or exterior space - Elizabeth’s business is a full service design/build firm. Superior Construction and Design is a member of the Lebanon/ Wilson County Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Professional Organiz-ers (NAPO), the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA), and Associate Mem-ber of the Interior Design Society (IDS). Elizabeth is a member of the Nashville Influencers Group; a group comprised of Nashville bloggers, designers and media personalities who exchange and help promote creative ideas and projects. Additionally, she was awarded the prestigious “Best Of Houzz 2015” award from Houzz.com.

Elizabeth writes a blog on her web site entitled The Collected Interior, and a magazine column entitled Coming Home.

She loves to read, write, watch movies, dig in her garden, and be with her family. In addition, she dabbles in antiques under the same name as her blog, The Collected Interior, at Antiques on 231 in Lebanon.

“I’m a Southern girl through and through, and pretty much a very old soul. I believe in good manners and grace, and that kindness goes a very long way. I believe that your home is your refuge - your safe place. If it is not orderly and comfortable, then you can’t be either.”

“I am so blessed in my job in that I have so many friends become clients, and clients that have become dear friends,” she adds.

Best Floor Covering Store Best Clothing Store

The Pink Cactus came about when one girl wanted to share her love of jewelry making and western cowgirl fashion. After a year of traveling to craft fairs, rodeos, and tractor pulls, there was an overwhelming demand for a store! One year later The Pink Cactus became an online selling and daily operating storefront busi-ness. Come see us on S. Cumberland. Hope to see y’all soon.

Dr. Chad Williams / Smile GalleryBest Dentist

Dr. Chad Williams and the staff of Smile Gallery would like to extend a sincere “Thank You” to all of our patients that voted for us as The Best Dentist of Wilson County. Without the great patients that we have, we wouldn’t be where we are. We really enjoy interacting with each and every patient. Thank you for your votes, thank you for your business, and thank you for trusting us with your dental health!!

At Smile Gallery, we enjoy interacting with each and every patient and we enjoy giving back to the community in various ways. Our current project is Dentists Give Back. We have teamed with 4 dental specialists to “give back” to the teachers of the Wilson County School District and the Lebanon Special School District. We are accepting applications for 25 teachers to receive $100 to use in their class room. For more information, please e-mail [email protected].

We look forward to seeing all of our patients in the coming year! We hope that each and every one has a great year and remembers Dr. Chad’s favorite slogan: You don’t have to brush and floss ALL of your teeth, just the ones you want to keep!
