Glass Franchise Owner Honored For Sales

Justin Eimers learned how to lead a large group during his six-year stint in the National Guard. That's been helpful to Eimers, who opened a Glass Doctor franchise at 601 E. Benson Road in February 2008.

It's a move that's paid off for Eimers, too.

He was named the 2009 Rookie of the Year and was among the top 10 percent of franchisees who earned Top Gun designation, which recognizes outstanding sales, manpower growth, personal growth and franchise development for the previous calendar year.
