Family-Owned PIP Franchise Receives Lifetime Achievement Award
Fulner Family Business with Three Locations Honored
MISSION VIEJO, CA, Aug. 11, 2023—A long-time family-owned PIP franchise has received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Franchise Services Inc. (FSI), the parent company of PIP. The award was presented to siblings Carol Sandberg, Scott Fulner and Tom Fulner at the annual PIP Convention and Vendor Show held July 12-15 in Kansas City, Missouri. The Fulners are the first PIP franchise to be recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award in FSI’s 50-year history.
Members of the Fulner family have been PIP franchisees for over 50 years. The first Fulner-owned PIP franchise was started in 1972 in Indianapolis by Tom Sr. and Marilyn Fulner, parents of the three Fulner siblings who each own and operate a PIP location. The Fulner family grew their PIP franchise to 18 PIP Printing locations at the peak of their operations before consolidating into their current three centers.
Carol runs a PIP location in northeast Indianapolis, Tom owns the location on Zionsville Road in Indianapolis, and Scott operates a center in Nashville, Tennessee.
“The Fulners have long been leaders in the printing industry and legends in the PIP network,” said Richard Lowe, president and COO of Franchise Services Inc., in honoring the Fulner family. “The legacy of the Fulner family is high achievement,” he said, noting that the Fulner-owned locations have been the top volume PIP business in the nationwide franchise network since 1985.
“I congratulate Carol, Scott and Tom on their impressive achievements in operating their PIP centers. They are recognized by their peers as innovators who set an example of excellence for the entire network.”
In addition to the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Fulners were, once again, recognized as the #1 PIP business in the network based on sales and the top-ranked business among a combined group of 25 leading PIP and Sir Speedy franchise locations across the U.S. Sir Speedy is also owned by Franchise Services.
