2023 Franchisee of the Year

Presented by the Canadian Franchise Association, the Franchisee of the Year Award recognizes top-performing franchisees for their unique accomplishments and excellence in business performance, community service, and brand involvement.

Franchisees are the heart of the franchise systems: they invested their own capital to open a business and they’re on the front lines working hard to make their business a success.

The Franchisee of the Year Award is the opportunity to recognize and shine some light on Canada’s superstar franchisees! This award is given to the franchisee by category of Traditional and Non-Traditional Franchises. 

The Franchisee of the Year award credits a franchisee for their outstanding performance and contribution in helping the Canadian franchising community become Stronger Together

The Franchisee of the Year award is the acknowledgement of all the hard work, dedication and charity work myself and my team do each and every year. We strive for excellence and being honoured in this category is the greatest achievement any business owner could receive. It means we have made a difference in the lives of our customers, the moving industry and the lives of my family and team members. Being able to represent TWO MEN AND A TRUCK in this category is amazing as they have been a great support system, wealth of knowledge and the epitome of what leadership looks like.

When I first became a franchisee, I knew that I wanted to create a business that not only provided exceptional education services, but also made a positive impact in the lives of our students and community.

I am incredibly honoured and humbled to be nominated for this award. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our entire Scholars team.

I am so proud of what we have accomplished, which has been made possible by our team of dedicated educators and their unwavering support of our students, as well as our Scholars HQ that has provided us with the necessary tools and resources to thrive and succeed.
