Jersey Mike’s Subs presented Savannah resident Chris Brown with its Multi-Unit Operator Award during its recent National Conference in Orlando, Fla.

More than 1,000 franchise owners, managers and others gathered to celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary.

Founder and CEO Peter Cancro, along with Hoyt Jones, Jersey Mike’s president, and Michael Manzo, chief operating officer, presented the award to Brown, a Jersey Mike’s franchise owner since 2008 who now owns 25 locations in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee.

“I’m humbled,” said Brown. “There are so many franchisees and operators that are great at what they do. It means a lot to be held in high regard in a hall of fame class. I’m glad to be part of a brand that gives back and creates opportunities for others.”
