MEDIchair Saskatoon wins National Franchise of the Year Award

April 3, 2012 - PRLog -- Saskatoon, SK and Calgary, AB – Mr. Bas van Lankvelt, COO, MEDIchair, North America’s largest and fastest growing Home Medical Equipment (HME) franchise operation is proud to announce that Rick and Brenda Rodyck, owners of MEDIchair Saskatoon have earned the company’s top award for 2011 – Franchisee of the Year.

“This is the most coveted award that we offer – it is literally an award honouring the best of the best,” explains van Lankvelt. “To win this prestigious award, a franchisee must integrate outstanding business values and sales growth with MEDIchair’s core values of care, knowledge, value and customer service excellence.  That’s simply not an easy task to accomplish.”

“The Saskatoon store (opened in 1988) was the first franchisee-owned store in Canada. As second generation MEDIchair Saskatoon owners, Rick and Brenda Rodyck have been nominated in this category a number of times. However, in 2011 they achieved their goal of reaching the summit and beyond.  They won a number of growth awards, were profitable and they are deeply involved in supporting the community in which they operate. One of the keys for Saskatoon’s ongoing success is their focus on customer service. They have the highest number of long-term employees in our company – a key to repeat business.  Simply put, customers like the people, the products and the service they receive at MEDIchair Saskatoon.”

“The entire Saskatoon team is honoured to win this award,” says Brenda Rodyck.  “We know how hard it is to be nominated in this category and to finally win it is a testament to our team of tireless employees who believe in what they do and who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of our customers. I am so proud of each and everyone one of them.”
