ANY LAB TEST NOW® Receives Industry Honor

ANY LAB TEST NOW® proudly announces that Dr. Mac Innocent, owner of Any Lab Test Now in Miramar, Florida, has been honored as Franchisee of the Year by the International Franchise Association (IFA). The prestigious award was presented at the IFA’s 65th Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, recognizing Dr. Innocent’s outstanding performance and dedication to excellence.

Dr. Innocent opened his ANY LAB TEST NOW® location in 2010. In addition to his work as a highly esteemed Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Wound Specialist in his community, Dr. Innocent’s commitment to providing direct access to a wide array of lab tests in a clean, friendly, and private environment has set a high standard within the franchise network.

"For nearly fifteen years, Mac has consistently upheld our core values of accountability, proactiveness, empowerment and integrity," said Clarissa Bradstock, CEO of ANY LAB TEST NOW®. "What sets him apart is his unwavering positivity. His warmth, his enthusiasm, and approachable demeanor not only impact his franchise and employees, but our entire franchise system. We are so proud to have him as part of our family and we are very excited to celebrate this well-deserved accolade.”

The Franchisee of the Year Award recognizes leading franchisees whose outstanding performance and contributions help protect, enhance, and promote the franchise model. This is the fifth year in a row for an independent owner and operator of ANY LAB TEST NOW® to receive a Franchise of the Year trophy.

“Franchisees of the Year represent the very best of franchising,” said Matt Haller, President and CEO of the International Franchise Association. “They embody the American Dream, create economic opportunity, serve their communities and show what it means to go into business for yourself, but not by yourself. We are proud to recognize Dr. Innocent with the highest honor IFA awards to individual franchisees, and we salute his tireless efforts to lift up all those he serves.”

There are approximately 830,000 franchised businesses across the United States, generating nearly $900 billion in economic output. According to Oxford Economics, franchising on average provides higher wages and better benefits than non-franchised businesses, as well as greater entrepreneurial opportunities to minorities, women, veterans, and other underrepresented communities.
