Its not every day that we name an honorary Franchisee Of The Year. In fact, it only happens once a year!

It just so happens that 2011 was our first year to award one of our franchisees with this distinction. Lou Kathrakis, our knight in shining armor franchisee, took home the 2011 award.  Lou and his restaurant in Shelton, CT have been together, very happily, since 2007. Lou even has plans to expand his Pancheros empire in the near future! You go, Lou.

So, if you see Lou at the Shelton, CT location, or if you're just lucky enough to see Lou walking down the street; stop and congratulate him! Also, ask to see his big trophy.

We weren't the only ones excited about this award, we had a few press people talking about Lou's success.

Also, Lou's Mom wrote a really nice note to him. But I decided to be nice and not post that...yet.

Chances are if you've been on the Pancheros Twitter feed, or at this blog before, you've seen something about Twitter Trivia.

Twitter Trivia is game I play every Friday using the Pancheros Twitter handle. The main goal is really just to engage with my follwers and give them a chance to win some prizes! (if you don't already play, you should probably start doing so) It is a fun way for me to set aside some time each week and make sure I'm giving my followers some well-deserved attention. But, as a bonus, Pancheros got some attention in regards to Twitter Trivia from QSR magazine. One of the components of Twitter Trivia is the video I shoot and post to this blog every Friday announcing the winners. Video blogging, or 'Vlogging," has really taken off recently and QSR wanted to get a little insight about the topic from yours truly.

One more plug for Twitter Trivia: check out Pancheros on Twitter every Friday at 11:00am(CST). Answer the question via an @ reply, and may the luck of the burritos be with you.
