    The International Franchise Association (IFA) recently recognized Christian Brothers Automotive franchise owner John Carlson as its 2023 Franchisee of the Year, according to a press release.

    Carlson was named IFA’s 2023 Franchisee of the Year on Feb. 17 during the 64th IFA Annual Convention in Phoenix. 

    The award is intended to recognize individuals who have empowered the franchise business model. Parent companies nominate people who have displayed community involvement and entrepreneurial skills, cultivated healthy workplace cultures, and supported fellow franchisees. 

    Before opening his store in North Scottsdale, Arizona, Carlson played as a tight end for the NFL for seven years. After having several positive experiences with another Christian Brothers Automotive store in Arizona as a customer, he became interested in the brand.

    “This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of my incredible team at North Scottsdale, as well as the invaluable mentorship from fellow CBA franchisees and the unwavering support from our Home Office leadership,” said Carlson.
