(Pittsburgh, PA) A bookstore in Pittsburgh has been named the friendliest small business in Pennsylvania, according to a new study. A nationwide study which was conducted last month by the Advance Funds Network surveyed more than 3,000 people and revealed the 150 friendliest small businesses in the United States, and three of them are based in Pennsylvania. The ranking was based on direct consumer feedback and reviews from Google aimed to identify businesses that are known for patience, service and warmth. White Whale Bookstore, which is located in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh, finished at No. 71 in these recent rankings from the Advance Funds Network, and that bookstore ranked as the highest of any Pennsylvania business on the list.
