Rhodes 101 Stops was honored last week with the Triumph Award at the 2007 Tri-State Advertising and Marketing Professionals' 2007 Small Business and Marketing Expo.
Gene Rhodes, the company's founder, was there with co-owners Jim Maurer and Paul Dirnberger to accept the recognition.
The Rhodes 101 Stops franchise is a great success story. Like most businesses that succeed, this one started with plenty of hard work and ambition. Gene Rhodes began with a $250 delivery truck. He worked 18-hour days. Along the way, many sound business and marketing decisions have made Rhodes 101 Stops one of the most recognizable brand names in the area.
Congratulations to Rhodes, Maurer, Dirnberger and all Rhodes 101 Stop employees for their part in this year's Triumph Award.
