On August 4th, AlphaGraphics, Inc., a global leader in print, marketing, signage and technology solutions, recognized franchisees Sarah and Joe Huh, who own and operate AlphaGraphics Falls Church, for their Center's performance with the 2018 Best Operations Award. The award was presented to the recipients at the company's annual conference held at Austin's Hyatt Regency in Texas.

As the children of immigrant entrepreneurs, Joe and Sarah grew up with the philosophy that managing a business' bottom line requires more strategic planning than what is needed to increase sales. Sarah and Joe proudly distribute 10% of their year-over-year sales increase equally among their employees, truly emphasizing the importance of collaboration and team effort to their Center's continued progress.

"We run a small operation with four employees," said Sarah and Joe. "But our commitment to making teamwork the hallmark of our Center logistics is what keeps our team focused and committed to providing state-of-the-art marketing communications products and services to serve our customers year-round."

The award, which is one of the most coveted within the AlphaGraphics Network, is presented to franchisees by the AlphaGraphics, Inc. executive board for positioning their Centers as the most outstanding within the Network, based on operational performance, including 10 percent year-over- year sales increase, 72 percent gross margin and 28 percent labor as well as overall contribution to the Network.

"Through exemplary leadership, performance in production and sales achievement, Sarah and Joe's team continually brings superior value to our customers and pride to the Network," said AlphaGraphics President Ryan Farris. "We look forward to seeing this Center's operations continue to thrive as it strengthens its positioning as a trusted print and marketing communications service provider."
