which places had the friendliest local businesses in North America.*
"We're proud to feature so many great locally owned businesses in our
marketplace, and it's exciting to have the chance to showcase those top
merchants who've delivered unbeatable service to their customers," said
Jay Klauminzer, vice president of local deals, Groupon.

activities-based businesses. And for the first time, Groupon is
featuring some of the most popular Groupon Goods vendors as part of the
