Kit and Cameron Pelletier and Tyler Olinger, owners of Tint World in Jacksonville, North Carolina, were recently honored by the International Franchise Association (IFA) with the 2021 Franchisee of the Year Award. This owner-operator team was recognized for having an outstanding franchise establishment at IFA’s 62nd annual convention in San Diego.
The Franchisee of the Year Award, sponsored by IFA’s partner Paychex, is selected from leading franchisees who exemplify at least one of IFA’s core pillars: community, workforce, diversity, equity and inclusion, and veterans.
“Franchisee of the Year Awards are the highest honors presented to individual franchisees,” said Matthew Haller, IFA CEO and president. “These local business owners, such as the Pelletiers and Olinger, represent some of the best entrepreneurs in the country, and we are proud to recognize their contributions to their communities, their employees, and all those they serve.”
In 2019, the Pelletiers and Olinger overcame the challenges of Hurricane Dorian to open their Tint World franchise location. Since then, their store has become the area’s top location for automotive styling and vehicle enhancements. The team’s accomplishments have also earned them membership in Tint World’s elite Million Dollar Club of top-earning franchise owners, as well as Tint World’s Franchisee of the Year award, presented during the franchise’s annual Race to Success convention.
“With the extraordinary support and training Tint World provides, as well as the company’s well-deserved reputation for product and service excellence, we were able to immediately connect with the community,” Kit Pelletier said. “We recognized that Jacksonville is the proud home of many military families, and we are committed to delivering the best service in order to meet and exceed their expectations.”
According to Charles Bonfiglio, Tint World CEO and president, “Kit, Cameron and Tyler embody Tint World’s mission to lead in every market, and their success demonstrates their passion for their community.”
Bonfiglio added: “When spirited leaders like this team have access to the unique, innovative tools that Tint World Automotive Styling Centers offers, the results speak for themselves. This Jacksonville ownership team provides the example we need to continue our nationwide and international growth in 2022 and beyond.”
