(LANSING, Mich.) – Franchisees Eric St. Pierre and Jeff Walker were recently named 2008 Franchisees of the Year by the International Franchise Association (IFA).

St. Pierre and Walker are business partners who have jointly operated the Colorado Springs franchise location for 16 years. They have been a top revenue-producing TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® franchise for 12 years. The award is given to IFA-member company franchisees to honor outstanding performance and contributions that enhance the growth and development of the nation’s franchising industry. The awards were presented during the IFA’s Ninth Annual Franchise Appreciation Day celebration in Washington, D.C.

“We nominated Eric and Jeff because of their commitment to advancing the franchising and moving industry,” said Brig Sorber, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® president. “Their support of fellow franchisees and the community and our company’s core values make them true leaders in our system.”

St. Pierre and Walker are actively involved with the IFA, as well as several community organizations, including the Colorado Alzheimer’s Association and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

“We made a great decision when we joined the TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® system,” said Walker. “We feel a part of the family and are honored that they nominated us.”

“We are successful because of the franchise system, the corporate home office and our awesome staff who have been with us a long time,” said St. Pierre. “You can’t beat a name and logo and a system that backs you up like TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®.”

Founded nearly 50 years ago, the IFA promotes and strives to protect franchising worldwide. Membership includes nearly 10,000 franchisees and 1,300 companies.
