Regional Burger King Franchisee Earns
Top Industry Award
Downers Grove, IL
- Heartland Food Corp., has been named by Nation's Restaurant News, the food
industry's leading trade magazine, as its "2006 Franchisee Star Award". This
equates to being named "Best in Industry" among franchisees of U.S. restaurant
chains.
In order to be considered, franchisee must demonstrate exemplary standards in
the following areas: outstanding growth in sales; customer growth and
profitability; operational excellence; top quality food and service success; a
respectful workplace culture and a commitment to the local communities in which
they operate. Not only has Heartland Food Corp averaged double-digit sales
growth since the company began in 2003, but it excelled in each of the
criteria, providing its employees a respectful, drug- and harassment-free work
environment while constantly training for employee career development from
within. As a community supporter, HFC's individual Burger Kings work primarily
with local schools by rewarding student achievement and attendance, and
providing fundraising opportunities.
Upon learning of the award, Jeff Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Heartland
Food Corp. said, "Credit for this award goes to Heartland's tremendous team
effort whose total commitment is pleasing our customers every day. In
particular, the regional and district management teams in each of our markets,
whose daily focus and results has earned us this prestigious award." He added,
"As a company, our main goals are simple ones: We strive every day to make a
positive impact on our employees' lives by creating and maintaining a positive
workplace culture; and to do our best to earn the loyalty of our customers,
giving them a reason to return."
Heartland Food Corp. owns and operates a total of 249 Burger King restaurants
in 6 states. Other awards the company has earned recently include Burger King's
"Brand Leadership Award" for 2005, and 2006 "Franchising at its Best" to CEO
Jeff Rogers, sponsored by Area Developer Magazine. For more information, visit
