BROOKFIELD, Wis. (May 23, 2007) – On Saturday, May 19, 2007 at the National Restaurant Association Tradeshow in Chicago, Auntie Anne’s presented The Howard Company/Mainstreet Menu Systems with an ‘Outstanding Supplier Award’ for 2006.

The Howard Company has had a great partnership with Auntie Anne’s since 2002, and in 2006, was a key player in the Brand Re-Launch.

It was an awesome transformation!” stated Samuel Beiler, President and C.E.O. of Auntie Anne’s. He acknowledged that The Howard Company accepted and accomplished this Re-Launch with few, if any, challenges. Both are looking forward to a future partnership.
