After an intense weekend of voting, four local businesses remain in Patch’s customer service  tournament.  

We started with 64 businesses in mid-March, and our readers have chosen these heavyweights of customer service.

This week, the final four go head to head to crown a champion, and they need your support to go all the way. 

Voting ends at noon Saturday, and championship scoring is now in effect. The two businesses that get the most votes, comments and directory reviews before voting closes will advance to the finals.

In the semifinals and finals:

• Each poll vote is worth 1 point;
• Each favorable comment 20 points;
• Each favorable directory review 50 points.

Each reader may vote once per day in the poll, and may leave one comment and one directory review per business.

(You are  welcome to leave as many comments as you would like, but for voting
purposes we will count only the first comment and review you leave in
favor of each business.)

Any ties will be broken in overtime.

To leave a review for a business, search for the  business name in the Gulfport Patch Directory, or click on the business name below to go straight to its directory listing:

• Red Hot Tiki
• Smokin' J's
• Industrial Arts Center
• Fazio's Pizza

Good luck to all our competitors!
