Burger King Franchisee of the Year Sells Huge Prize, Gives Employees Bonuses Instead

1 minute read

Burger King’s newly minted “Franchisee of the Year” sold a whopper of a prize and served up bonuses to Arizona employees, Phoenix’s 3TV reports.

The news station claims Tom Barnett of Barnett Management sold a Corvette and Rolex watch gifted by the corporate honchos, which generated enough dough to hand out $120,000 worth of bonuses to workers at roughly two dozen locations throughout the state.

“It was almost an entire month’s worth of pay for me,” Charity Callahan, who has worked at the chain for 15 years, told 3TV.
