Meineke savors bowl's exposure
Posted Dec 27, 2008
Nobody may be more thrilled to see a sold-out Meineke Car Care Bowl than the head of the company whose name graces today's game. Ken Walker is chairman and chief executive of Driven Brands, the Charlotte-based parent company of Meineke Car Care Centers. Meineke has more than 800 locations across the country – almost all of them franchised to about 530 ownership groups that employ more than 3,000 people.
