Multiple East Texas companies and one nonprofit were recently named winners of the Better Business Bureau’s 2026 Awards for Excellence.
The BBB said the winners, which were announced Sunday night during a televised production on KTLV and YouTube, display honor and integrity in all aspects of their operations — toward their employees, vendors, customers, and within their community.
“For more than 100 years, the Better Business Bureau has worked to build communities grounded in trust. We believe strong communities are created when businesses choose integrity, accountability, and service not just as policies, but as daily practice,” said Mechele Mills, president and CEO of BBB East Texas.
The BBB Awards for Excellence celebrates the businesses and charities across East Texas that live out those values in meaningful ways.
“These organizations are not only successful, they are trusted. They invest in their employees, care deeply for their clients, and strengthen the very fabric of our communities,” the BBB said. “We are proud to recognize all of this year’s nominees who prove that doing business the right way truly makes a lasting difference.”

Woods Company; Large Business category: Heaton Eye Associates; Minority-Owned Business category: Gameday Men’s Health Tyler; Veteran-Owned Business category: Quick Strike Media; BBB Spark Award: New York Pizza and Pasta; and Nonprofit category winner: Bethesda Health Clinic.
