When Wilder received the call telling him to come to Washington, D.C., and accept the award, his store wasn&rsquo;t open due to the flooding much like the rest of Range Avenue had experienced. This did not stop Wilder from lending a helping hand to his community.&nbsp;

&ldquo;My perspective is it&rsquo;s what I do; this business is about people,&rdquo; Wilder said Tuesday, standing in the gutted shell of his store. &ldquo;If you do right by people, it comes back.&rdquo; &ldquo;I love our brand. I love <a href="http://www.smoothiekingfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-livingston-parish-news-louisiana-based-smoothie-king-owner-named-franchisee-of-the-year-6135" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Smoothie King</a>,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m proud to be in Denham Springs, to live in this city and this parish. This is my home. 
 
Kevin King, chief development officer for <a href="http://smoothieking.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=the-livingston-parish-news-louisiana-based-smoothie-king-owner-named-franchisee-of-the-year-6135" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Smoothie King</a> mentioned that leadership is most important when nominations are being considered by the IFA. 
 
Being considered for the award &ldquo;manifests itself in sales, sales growth and roles (a franchisee) plays in the franchise community and actions in his own community,&rdquo; King said.

The New Orleans-area-based franchise company has 800 units in 33 states, the Caymans and the Republic of Korea.
