ESTERO, FL (Thursday, June 01, 2006) - For Peter Ennis, owner of the Beef 'O' Brady's at 20301 Grande Oaks Shoppes Boulevard #108 in Estero, things couldn't be better. The local entrepreneur recently returned home with the "Franchisee of the Year" award from the 8th Annual Beef 'O' Brady's Partner Retreat, a gathering of 300 franchise partners, management team and home office staff from the national chain. The award recognized Ennis for his overall success and expanding role as a "community partner" throughout the Estero, FL region. Ennis is particularly happy because he has a second Beef 'O' Brady's location opening in late July in Lehigh Acres, FL at 3114 Lee Boulevard. "My great staff and support of the community is responsible for my success," Ennis said. "I have created ties with the Estero-Gulf Coast Kiwanis Club, Estero Mustangs Pop Warner Football, Estero High School Boosters and Pinewoods Elementary School which has helped me feel like an integral part of the community. Customers who come into my Beef 'O' Brady's feel immediately at home with Florida sports memorabilia, kid's baseball cleats and Estero school banners on the wall. Every Beef's tells a story about their community, and the Estero location is no different."
