“The Chairman’s Circle Awards are the first we announce each year,” says James S. Bugg, Sr., who has served as company chairman since 1984, and is a member of the International Franchise Association’s Hall of Fame. “We do not announce the exact rankings within the Chairman’s Circle until our annual conference in May, but we like to recognize the entire group as a wonderful way to start the New Year.”
“Our company’s wide-spread geographic presence is highlighted by these distinguished owners,” Bugg emphasized. “These top franchises operate in California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, and Canada.”
