HOUSTON, April 10, 2008 - STC Management LLC, owned by Bob Sanders, Dusty Shipley, Gene Tunelle and Chris Burns, was named Franchisee of the Year at the 2008 Jiffy Lube International Convention & Trade Show. The winners were honored along with other outstanding franchisees and employees at the four-day conference held in Colorado Springs, Colo. last month. All winners exemplified the 2008 Convention theme of Mission: Peak Performance.

Based in Woodbridge, Va., the owners STC Management, LLC were recognized for optimal sales performance, successful implementation of new systems to improve its business and accomplishments in the areas of training and certification. The honorees also actively particpate in their community with local programs including a high school safe driving program and breast cancer awareness initiatives.

"It brings us great pleasure to present STC Management, LLC with this prestigious award because they embrace and live the values of the Jiffy Lube brand and consistently perform at a high level," said Luis Scoffone, president of Jiffy Lube International.
