The Best of Celina: Where Community, Small Business, and Family Values Thrive

In a rapidly growing town like Celina, it can be hard to find places that still feel rooted in small-town values. That’s where The Best of Celina comes in. Built on the foundation of community, family values, and support for small business, The Best of Celina has become one of the most trusted local resources — with more reach and engagement than many traditional chamber of commerce type organizations.

Unlike some membership-based groups that can feel exclusive or hard to break into, The Best of Celina was designed to be open, welcoming, and accessible to everyone. There are no cliques, no closed doors, and no “inner circle” to navigate. Instead, TBOC focuses on bringing the community together in a way that feels authentic and approachable for families, residents, and local business owners alike.

More Local Businesses, More Local Voices

One of the standout strengths of The Best of Celina is the number of businesses represented. Today, TBOC highlights more registered businesses than many other local business networks, making it one of the largest and most inclusive in the city.

Marketing plans are kept simple and affordable — starting at free and topping out at just $100 per year.

That means any business, from family-owned shops to local startups, can benefit from Celina small business marketing without breaking the bank. It’s a model designed not to exclude, but to empower every business in Celina.

A Media Company Dedicated to Celina

What many people don’t realize is that The Best of Celina has grown into more than just a website. It’s a local media company, started by Ron Lyons, that includes:

• The Best of Celina Facebook Group – Approaching 9,000 members, it’s one of the most active and engaging local groups around. Unlike many groups, it’s open to all, with nearly 100% of fake accounts and spam posts filtered out to keep the community experience genuine.

• CelinaRadio.com Podcast – Covering everything from local news to in-depth conversations with community leaders.

• Celina City Limits Radio – An internet radio station that mixes classic country, Texas Red Dirt, and community-focused programming.

• The Best of Celina Website – A growing directory of businesses, events, and stories highlighting everything that makes Celina unique.

Together, these platforms ensure that Celina has a media voice focused on the people, businesses, and traditions that matter most.

Real Estate Expertise: Another Layer of Community Connection

Beyond media and small business support, The Best of Celina is also backed by Ron Lyons’ deep expertise as a local real estate professional. Ron writes real estate articles highlighting Celina’s rapid growth and housing trends, and he hosts Celina Real Estate Talk, a syndicated podcast where he covers all things Celina real estate.

This combination of community media and real estate knowledge gives The Best of Celina a unique perspective: it’s not just about promoting businesses but also about helping families, newcomers, and investors understand and thrive in the Celina area.

Networking That Feels Like Community

The Best of Celina also brings people together in person. Monthly events like The Breakfast Club (a morning networking group) and a Happy Hour Mixer give small business owners a chance to meet face-to-face, share ideas, and form lasting relationships.

For men looking to grow in both leadership and community, The Celina Titans of Leadership offers a unique space for mentorship, encouragement, and building connections that matter. These aren’t your typical “sit in a corner and hand out business cards” events — they’re authentic, welcoming, and built to strengthen the bonds of our community.

It’s Celina business networking at its best: affordable, approachable, and designed to help everyone succeed.

Why The Best of Celina Stands Out

In a town growing as quickly as Celina, some organizations can start to feel exclusive or limited in scope. The Best of Celina was designed to be the opposite.

Here, everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a new resident just discovering the charm of Celina, a long-time family rooted in local tradition, or a small business looking to grow, you’ll find open arms and a strong support system.

With its unique mix of affordable small business marketing, community-driven media platforms, local real estate insights, and genuine networking opportunities, The Best of Celina is more than just an organization — it’s a movement to keep our fast-growing town grounded in the small-town feel we all love.

Looking Ahead: A Bright Future for Celina

As Celina continues to grow, so does The Best of Celina. With thousands of engaged community members, hundreds of small businesses represented, and multiple media channels working together, we’re building a future that celebrates both growth and tradition.

The Best of Celina will always remain focused on what matters most:

• Community

• Family Values

• Support for Small Businesses

• Celina Small Business Marketing & Networking Opportunities

• Keeping Celina’s small-town charm alive

Whether you join us online, on the radio, or at one of our networking events, you’ll quickly see why so many consider The Best of Celina their go-to source for all things local — and a modern alternative to traditional membership-based business organizations.
