The Triad Business Journal has announced the winners of their annual C-Suite Awards recognizing outstanding executives in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina. Tracy Myers, CMD and current owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, was honored to be named one of only fifteen top executives receiving this prestigious award.
"I'm grateful to all of the employees, past and present, who have supported my vision since I bought the dealership from my father back in 2006," said Myers. "I’m also thankful to the community for allowing my family and I to serve them for generations. It’s been a blessing and a privilege that I don’t take for granted."
Winners will be honored at an awards ceremony at the Millennium Center in Winston-Salem, NC on Thursday, July 25, 2024.
Frank Myers opened the original Frank Myers store more than 100 years ago in East Bend, NC. His grandson, Franklin Myers, his great-grandson, Tracy Myers, and his great-great grandson, Presley Myers, have continued the Myers family tradition of being successful entrepreneurs for more than 10 decades. Their car dealerships and the rest of their family-owned stable of businesses have employed hundreds of people and continue to serve thousands of happy customers in the Carolinas and Virginia.
