ORLANDO, Fla.  – Orlando-based U.S. Lawns inducted the father and son team of Hank and Bryan Smith of Myrtle Beach, S.C. into the U.S. Lawns Hall of Fame during the company’s annual conference in August.

The final event of the three-day conference was the Saturday night awards ceremony, when a franchisees, from first-year to veteran, and their teams, are presented awards for their community contributions and their business successes.

The awards night celebration culminated with a franchisee(s) being inducted into the U.S. Lawns Hall of Fame.

“The Hall of Fame is the highest honor we bestow on a franchisee,” said Ken Hutcheson, president of U.S. Lawns. “These are not just highly successful businessmen. These are true leaders who are fully engaged in their business and who embrace the mission and vision of U.S. Lawns. The Hall of Fame is not just an award, it is a permanent position among a group of businessmen and women who are achieving or have achieved their life’s dream and are running a highly successful business, and are respected and embraced by their peers.”
