Chris Kramolis, area developer for Tropical Smoothie Café’s operations in Arkansas and Northeast Oklahoma, was recently named “Area Developer of the Year” at the 2011 Expo & Convention in Las Vegas.

It is the second time Kramolis, of Little Rock, has won the award in the last 5 years.

Kramolis was recognized by the company’s corporate management as a leader among his peers for regional growth, outstanding sales performance and innovative growth strategies.
