Repass, who takes a hands-on role in his business, works closely with his team of employees to create a family who are close, upbeat and customer service oriented. Regarding the Franchisee of the Year Award, Repass said, “Truly, all the credit goes out to our community. The community has embraced us in so many ways and given us a chance to develop relationships with them.”
Their level of involvement in the community also defines their success. Recently, the Lewes Meineke team provided 102 free oil changes to veterans and more than 200 chicken dinners to active and non-active to service members for Veteran’s Day.
