      Hello, Maria!

      The Best of Round Rock Awards is an annual event hosted in the Fall by Round the Rock, where community members nominate and vote for the top businesses in Round Rock, TX. Round the Rock collects nominations, oversees voting, and presents awards. So, our advice would be to continue to build your customer base, keep an eye out for the 2024 nominations to open, and ask your happy customers to nominate Clean Eatz.

      Thank you for reaching out!
