On February 29, 2024, at the annual Tropical Smoothie Cafe Franchise Convention, DYNE Hospitality Group received numerous awards that showcased our commitment to excellence. Melissa Jackson, our Chief Operating Officer, Tom Torpey, our Senior Director of Operations, Steve Anderson, our Director of Operations, Staci Lastinger our Director of Marketing, and Nick Crouch, our Co-CEO, were present to accept the accolades.

Among the many honors we received were sales, food excellence, and service awards. However, the crowning achievement of the night was the most prestigious award that the brand bestows: Developer of the Year. These awards recognize DYNE’s significant contributions to moving the brand forward, building top-notch facilities on prime real estate, and maintaining exceptional operations with superior guest service and a fantastic company culture. Even our amazing GM Bryant Simmons from Sherwood, AR competed in the smoothie contest with his version of a Bloody Mary Smoothie for Mocktail Season.

We owe these incredible accomplishments to our remarkable DYNE team, whose hard work, dedication, and passion helped make these achievements possible. We are truly grateful for these awards and for the opportunity to be part of such a fantastic brand.
