IFA Franchisee of the Year 2026

Amie Reynolds – 2026 IFA Franchisee of the Year

We are proud to announce that Amie Reynolds, owner of CertaPro Painters of NE and NW San Antonio, has been named a 2026 Franchisee of the Year by the International Franchise Association (IFA). This prestigious award recognizes outstanding franchise owners who demonstrate excellence in entrepreneurship, community involvement, workforce development, and service to others. Amie will be honored alongside fellow Franchisee of the Year recipients at the IFA26 Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C., this September.

Since opening CertaPro Painters of NE and NW San Antonio in 2011, Amie and her partners, brothers Anthony and Angelo, have built a growing painting business dedicated to providing quality residential and commercial painting services throughout the Greater San Antonio area. The franchise has recently expanded to three locations, allowing the team to serve even more homeowners, businesses, and commercial properties throughout the region. Amie attributes many of the leadership skills that have contributed to the company’s growth and success to the experience she gained during her military career.

While business growth is an important part of any successful painting company, Amie believes that one of the most rewarding aspects of franchise ownership is the opportunity to create employment and career opportunities within the San Antonio community. Building a strong workforce and providing people with opportunities to grow has remained a central focus for Amie and her team. These efforts align closely with the values celebrated by the IFA Franchisee of the Year awards, which recognize franchise owners for their business leadership, workforce development, community involvement, and contributions to those around them.

As a locally owned and operated CertaPro Painters franchise serving Northeast and Northwest San Antonio, we are honored to have Amie’s leadership and dedication recognized on a national level. This achievement represents more than individual recognition—it reflects the hard work and commitment of our entire team and the relationships we have built with our customers, employees, and community over the years. We are proud to continue providing professional interior and exterior painting services in San Antonio while creating opportunities for the people who help make our business successful.

We look forward to celebrating this exciting achievement at the IFA26 Advocacy Summit and continuing to build on our commitment to quality painting services, strong leadership, and community growth in the Greater San Antonio area.
