Oklahoma Couple Named Franchisees of the Year by International Franchise Association

ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2023 / ANY LAB TEST NOW®, the nation's premier direct access lab testing company, is thrilled to announce that the International Franchise Association (IFA) has named Carrie and Tom Powers, owners of three ANY LAB TEST NOW® stores in Oklahoma, as Franchisees of the Year. The honor was announced at the IFA's 63rd Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Franchisee of the Year Award recognizes leading franchisees that exemplify excellence in franchising and service to others. This is the second year in a row for an independent owner and operator of ANY LAB TEST NOW®, the largest lab testing franchise in the nation, to receive a Franchise of the Year trophy.

Carrie and Tom Powers opened their first ANY LAB TEST NOW® franchise in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2018. Two years later, they opened a second location in Oklahoma City and a third franchise in Norman, Oklahoma in 2022. Tom, who spent decades in medical sales, handles the sales and marketing side of the house for each location, while Carrie handles operations and focuses on customer service.

"We are so proud of the accomplishments of Carrie and Tom over the last five years. Within the first few years of operations, not only did they become one of the top franchises in our system, they set the standard for ANY LAB TEST NOW® franchisees by serving as a training site to help their peers also achieve success," said Clarissa Bradstock, CEO at ANY LAB TEST NOW®. "The Powers provide essential and stable jobs, competitive wages, benefits, and upward mobility in both communities they serve. We are so happy to see the Powers honored for their commitment to their customers and employees."

There are approximately 800,000 franchised businesses across the United States, providing over 8.4 million direct jobs and generating over $800 billion in economic output. According to Oxford Economics, franchising, on average, provides higher wages and better benefits than non-franchised businesses, as well as greater entrepreneurial opportunities to minorities, women, veterans, and other underrepresented communities.

"Franchisee of the Year recipients represent the best in franchising," said Matthew Haller, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association. "This is the highest honor IFA awards to individual franchisees, and local business owners like Carrie and Tom exemplify the power of franchising and its positive contributions to communities around the world."
