SMITHS GROVE, Ky., Oct. 10, 2012 // PRNewswire // -- Jackson Hewitt Tax Servicehas bestowed its highest honor – the Franchisee of the Year Award – on Tennessee franchise owner David Elkins.

Announced as part of the 2012 Jackson Hewitt® Annual Convention, the Franchisee of the Year Award is given annually to the franchisee who exhibits the highest level of performance in terms of growth, territory and employee development, customer service and community involvement.

The commitment and dedication of my team, not only to our own franchise, but to the Jackson Hewitt brand, is nothing short of exceptional and they all share in this award."

He added, "I joined Jackson Hewitt because they allow me to own and operate a multi-location, multi-state tax preparation business within an established framework.
