It’s a fall tradition. With the September/October issue of Kootenay Business magazine, we have once more compiled our list of the top 50 Kootenay businesses by revenue. The list includes both private and public companies, and both new and long-time businesses. We have also profiled a couple of businesses from the Top 50 list. Although economic challenges remain, a solid 18 businesses on our list actually increased revenues over last year’s figures, while another dozen remained steady, posting the same sales numbers they did a year ago.

If we have missed a business that you believe should be included, please email Kootenay Business. We will consider it for inclusion in next year’s list.
