## Story

Franchisees Kris and Traci Withrow were just honored at Signal 88's national conference as the medium market franchise of the year.

Having owned the Wichita franchise since 2009, the couple have seen growth and success in Derby, where they also lived for a period of time. In the past, the location has provided security for the local waterpark, Rock River Rapids, and now works with The Marketplace on North Rock.

The success of the business comes from a lot of hard work, Withrow told The Derby Informer, and the award came as a great honor.
