Categories included: Giving Back, Women, Millennials, Veterans, Family-Owned, \u201cFreshmen\u201d, Top-Performers, and Multi-Unit Owners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are so many stories of inspiring franchise owners who are living their dreams of successful business ownership. Each franchisee brings unique abilities, values, and skills to their franchise brand,\u201d said Eric Stites, founder &#038; CEO of Franchise Business Review. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen that most successful franchise owners demonstrate an incredibly strong work ethic, a deep passion for their businesses, and a real commitment to their communities. Our Rock Star Awards are for those who truly go above and beyond in some special way. These individuals are truly assets to their company\u2014and their passion resonates throughout the entire brand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1990 Ed &#038; Tibbie Staub opened a Sandler\u00ae franchise in York, Pennsylvania. Thirty-three years later their daughter Kate Kohler became the owner.  Having worked for many years side by side with her dad it was time to transition the business over to his daughter in January 2023.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are thrilled that Kate is continuing the work that her father started by serving business owners in Lancaster, PA,\u201d Dave Mattson, Sandler\u2019s Executive Chairman states.  \u201cYork &#038; Lancaster County are renowned for their vibrant community of skilled artisans, manufacturers, and energy providers, amongst many other industries who generate &#038; increase revenues through proactive selling.  Sole proprietors to publicly held companies have turned to Staub &#038; Associates for professional sales training and coaching support. Kate, along with her sister, Kelly Kaufman, who has assumed the role of COO, helps them reach new levels of success by developing their prospecting and selling skills using the proven Sandler\u00ae Sales Methodology.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Kate goes on to share, \u201cWe are so grateful to be included on this list of rockstar businesses! We could never have achieved this without the unwavering trust &#038; support of our customers over the last 34 years.
