## Story

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 27, 2023 // PRNewswire // - Window Hero West Knoxville owner Ben Brown was awarded the Rookie of the Year for his Window Hero location at the franchise's parent company's first franchisee convention earlier this month.

HomeFront Brands hosted its inaugural convention, entitled "Homecoming," at the company's headquarters outside of Charlotte, North Carolina earlier this month. The conference brought together franchisees, corporate employees and vendor partners to celebrate HomeFront Brands' growth since its inception in late 2022.

Brown's commitment to his community helped him earn his Rookie of the Year Award. In the eight months his location has been open, he has cleaned the exteriors of five schools in his service area. His Window Hero location provided this service for free with the goal of revitalizing the appearance of these schools' campuses.

"Ben's dedication to his community and his support for local schools is a shining example of what can be achieved through hard work and determination," said HomeFront Brands Chairman and CEO Jeff Dudan.

The Rookie of the Year Award recognizes a newcomer who displays remarkable promise, adaptability and a tireless work ethic despite being in the early stages of their ownership journey. HomeFront Brands bestowed Rookie of the Year awards to a franchise owner of each of its four core brands: Window Hero, The Designery, Top Rail Fence and Temporary Wall Systems.

"I've always sought opportunities to give back to my community," Brown said. "When I opened my Window Hero location, I knew I wanted to establish my company as a source in providing a reliable service to my clients while also helping those in need. It's an honor to receive this award and I hope to continue to deliver exceptional performance as a HomeFront Brands franchise member."

Brown's service-oriented approach has long been a part of his personality. He and his wife, Brittany, have always been active in their community and are the engaged parents of Cooper, Hutch and Caroline. He also coaches several of his sons' sports teams and is active in the family's church.
