These players are unique and possess a drive to perform and win that goes beyond what most of their contemporaries can muster. This is the kind of individual selected annually for the Multi-Unit Franchisee Magazine MVP Awards.

"I used to say that we're so far out into the boondocks it's 120 miles to the nearest freeway," says Hughes gleefully.
