On July 12, Simplicity Car Care hosted franchisees and friends for its annual Calgary Stampede party, hosted this year at Simplicity Hallmark Autobody.
“It was truly a great event,” said Franco Borrelli, owner of Simplicity Car Care Hallmark Autobody. “We all enjoyed each other’s company; a gathering of fellow Simplicity franchisees, Simplicity corporate staff, insurance partners, vendor partners as well as friends and family. It was symbolic of the Simplicity Car Care community.” More than 300 guests attended the party, which featured live music and a good old fashioned summer BBQ.
“Lori Kole sang a song that’s once again on the Canadian charts—‘Annie’,” Greg Wing, director of brand development for Simplicity, told Collision Repair. “It’s a tribute to missing indigenous woman in this country.”
Scott Nicholsson of the Las Vegas Duelling Pianos also tickled the keys at the event, which sent guests dancing into the late hours of the evening.
“The owners of Simplicity Car Care Calgary Central, led by Franco and Rob Borelli, open their location up to us every year for this day. They show the amazing family that is Simplicity Car Care—going out of their way to make sure the Stampede is memorable for our friends.” “We can plan, we can buy food and beverages and hire a band and that makes it an event. All the people that came, that’s what made it a party,” said Wing.
“Thank you everyone that attended and made this the best event ever! And a special thank you to everyone for not booing me off the stage when I got up and played guitar and sang with the band!”
