You've Been Designated.
An overview of what a designation includes —, and what it means for your business.
The South's Standard of Excellence.
Notable South is an editorially selected, market-based directory comprised of the South's notable businesses. From hospitality and home to wellness, professional services, and lifestyle, each inclusion reflects the businesses leading their industry within their community.
Greenville is our founding market.
With one designation per industry in each market, this category-exclusive recognition lives across social and digital platforms — a prestigious mark of distinction for the businesses that earn it.
Notable South exists for one reason: to recognize, celebrate, and amplify the businesses that set the standard of excellence across Southern markets.

Industries
Exclusive to one business per industry, per market Notable South designates one business across more than 50 industries — spanning the full breadth of how people in the South live, work, entertain, and invest in themselves. From the chiropractor they trust to the restaurant they celebrate in, we set out to build a directory that reflects real life in a Southern market. Our industry list grows thoughtfully. As communities evolve, so will the categories we curate — always guided by the same editorial standard.
