“We had a great turnout this year,” said Paul Pirro, vice president of operations and vendor manager. “We are always looking to support and improve our owner’s operations. This year we were able to do a lot of good for our franchisees, including giving them the opportunity to meet with vendors and learn about new management and support tools for staffing solutions, social media, and e-commerce marketing. In addition, we also secured several new vendor partnerships that will continue to increase the profitability of our franchisees.”
