Mighty Distributing System of America Inc. has awarded its Mighty Auto Parts Franchise of the Year award to Mighty Pacific, a division of Hannah Motor Co.

"The slate of five Franchise of the Year nominees was incredibly strong, so winning the award this year is particularly noteworthy," says Ken Voelker, president and CEO of the Mighty Auto Parts franchise network. “It is my pleasure to congratulate the entire Mighty Pacific team on their well-deserved Franchise of the Year award."
