CARSTAR will celebrate its 20th anniversary at the 2009 CARSTAR National Conference Sept. 19 to 22 in Denver.
 
Franchisees can meet with CARSTAR's senior leadership on business operations and plans for the future, work with other store owners on key issues, attend educational sessions and participate in the annual awards celebration.
 
The conference schedule features classes on I-CAR training, estimating, new repair technology, insurance marketing and relations, store productivity, employee training and management, store expansion, consumer marketing and public relations, financial management and more.  Some classes are presented by CARSTAR partners such as Hertz, 3M, I-CAR and Mitchell. Classes will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. each day of the conference.

"We're excited about kicking off our next decade of success with the CARSTAR Nation," says Cross. "It's an honor to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the company with all of our franchisees and to have a chance to personally thank them for their many contributions over the years in building the CARSTAR brand.  We have a great year ahead of us in 2010, and we're looking forward to hearing from all of the franchisees how we can make it successful for each and every one of them."
