CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The International Franchise Association (IFA) recently named Tom and Debi Taube, owners of Kitchen Tune-Up and Bath Tune-Up in Charlotte, as 2023 Franchisees of the Year. The Taube’s were honored at the 63rd IFA Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, for being outstanding owner-operators.

“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 Tom and Debi exemplify the power of franchising and its positive contributions to communities around the world.”

The Franchisee of the Year Award, sponsored by IFA’s partner Paychex, recognizes leading franchise owners from IFA member brands whose outstanding performance and contributions help protect, enhance, and promote the franchise business model. Nominated by their parent company, individuals are selected for their service to their communities, fostering a strong and vibrant workforce, opening the doors for career growth and entrepreneurship, and supporting their fellow franchisees.

“It’s such an honor for us both to be recognized as a Franchisee of the Year,” said Debi, co-owner of Kitchen Tune-Up Charlotte. “Our team has worked incredibly hard to get us to where we are now. We take pride in our quality remodels and look forward to helping even more homeowners in Charlotte and surrounding communities update their homes.”
