Frederick County is very fortunate to have an amazing business community, especially those that have been in business for over 20 years. We understand that there are more than 100 legacy businesses in Frederick County, but unfortunately, we were not able to include all these businesses in the Top 50x2. The businesses included were selected from responses submitted to a business survey. OED staff verified the responses and then selected the businesses on a first come first serve basis. If your business would like to be included in future opportunities, please email info@discoverfrederickmd.com.
Some photographs included in the publication were taken pre-COVID. OED encourages everyone to follow precautionary guidelines set forth by the Frederick County Health Department.
