Seattle, Wash.-based franchisee Alan Regala was named Rookie of the Year, which is presented to an owner involved in the company less than a year, while Boston, Mass.-based franchisees Jeff Cohen and Raffi Iskenderian were recipients of the highest honor of Franchisee of the Year. Both awards are reserved for owners who show exceptional performance, contribution to the system and active community involvement.
