Whether shopping online or in-store, customers want to feel valued, heard and supported. According to 2024 statistics from HubSpot, more than 85 percent of consumers say good customer service makes it more likely they will buy from a company again. With customer expectations higher than ever, businesses are finding new ways to meet those demands. Customer service leaders are increasing investment in AI, hiring more support staff and improving self-service portals. To help you identify the companies that are getting it right, Newsweek and global data research firm Statista are proud to present America's Best Customer Service 2025. This year we recognize over 700 brands across 163 categories that have gone the extra mile to deliver exceptional customer service experiences. The evaluation focused on five key components: quality of communication, professional competence, range of services, customer focus and accessibility. The research is based on an independent survey of over 28,000 U.S. customers. Companies honored in our rankings include clothing brands Talbots and Uniqlo, fast-casual restaurants In-N-Out Burger and Chick-fil-A and luxury fashion outlets Coach and Louis Vuitton. We hope these rankings help you make informed decisions about the places to shop where you will have the best experience and feel most valued. NANCY COOPER, Global Editor in Chief.

Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie
PARIS HILTON AND NICOLE RICHIE ARE READY TO BRING A LITTLE “SANASA” to the world with Peacock's Paris & Nicole: The Encore, their first project together since their reality show The Simple Life ended in 2007. What's “sanasa”? It's a song and phrase the longtime friends created as kids and popularized on The Simple Life. The show, a cultural phenomenon in the early days of reality TV, followed them over a series of blue-collar jobs. Now they're bringing it back as an opera. “I know this is just going to make people laugh, have fun, be nostalgic and just celebrate our friendship,” Hilton said. While Richie acknowledged “you can't do Simple Life again,” she said now “felt like the right time.” The famous pair also revisit some old jobs in Arkansas, like fast-food chain Sonic, where they now have drinks named for them. “I think that there is a part of our friend- ship that the show ended up showing that people connect to,” Richie said. As for this new special, Hilton is glad to do something positive for their fans. “It's been such a crazy past couple years, and I just feel like the world needs more joy.”
