December 04, 2023 // Franchising.com // Alpharetta, GA - Surcheros® recently shined the spotlight on some of their top performers. The Georgia-based Fresh-Mex brand brought franchisees and corporate teams together for an annual conference, where they announced Franchisee of the Year and FRESH Award winners. The conference took place at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa.

This year, the Franchisee of the Year award went to Kyle Cullars of the Milledgeville, GA Surcheros. Cullars has demonstrated a growth-mindset and plans to expand with new locations. He joined Surcheros in 2021. He owns and operates the Milledgeville restaurant and plans to open 8 additional restaurants throughout middle Georgia.

“This award is a very humbling yet exciting recognition of the day-to-day hard work of our entire team. We strive to serve our guests amazingly-delicious food in an incredibly friendly, fun atmosphere that is a true oasis from the busyness and pressures of the world outside our doors,” said Kyle Cullars, Owner of the Milledgeville Surcheros Fresh Mex®. “We are passionate about having a positive impact on everyone we encounter. So, displaying this award at the front of our store is a constant reminder to our entire team of who we are and why we do what we do.”

Surcheros also recognized their FRESH Award winners at the 2023 conference. This award is bestowed upon franchisees who exemplify the brand core values- friendly, respectful, engaging, supportive and hardworking. The Tallahassee Surcheros team of Amy Cooksey and Doug Puryear received the honor this year.

“We consider the FRESH attributes as a core reason why we are successful. We feel that we have these qualities in our personal lives, and they come through at our store naturally as we train managers and staff,” said Amy Cooksey, Co-owner of the Tallahassee Surcheros. “The hardworking part can be tough, but it's been worth every moment, and we love working alongside our employees showing them how to live these attributes daily.”

The duo are also opening a second Tallahassee location at the start of the new year. The restaurant will be located at 800 Ocala Rd, Suite 100 Tallahassee, Florida 32304.
