20th Annual Achievement Awards Honor Hobee’s Superstars
Because we were so swamped this winter (see the Hobee’s Stanford closing story below), we decided to forgo our usual big awards event. That did not mean, however, that we skipped the opportunity to recognize our superstar employees. We simply took the show on the road and personally congratulated nearly every winner and runner up in over a dozen categories. This was a fun, personal way to commend each employee for a job well done. Please join us in congratulating the following winners for 2012:
Outstanding Host – (tie) Moises Hernandez (Sunnyvale) and Esperanza Juarez (Pruneyard)
Outstanding Manager – Ruben Alba (Sunnyvale)
Rookie of the Year – Mario Morales (Montague)
