“We’re very pleased to receive this award,” said Robert McNichols, owner of Marketplace on Meadow Drive and developer of One Willow Bridge Road. “This award means a great deal to us because it reflects the opinions of the people of Vail. Our community is filled with exciting new businesses and opportunities. We are honored that Marketplace on Meadow Drive was singled out for this recognition.”
In addition to the Best New Business award, Marketplace on Meadow Drive was recognized with an award from Vail Daily readers in the Best Pizza category. Prepared to order and cooked in the exhibition-style domed oven, the Marketplace gourmet pizzas are one of the most popular menu items with lunch and dinner customers of all ages. The Best Pizza category is traditionally dominated by the dozens of large, traditional American pizza pie purveyors in the Vail Valley. The Marketplace’s European style of preparation and ingredients represents a departure in popularity to the new “old style” for Vail’s pizza lovers.
