The couple, who have been owners since 1997, were among 44,000 Subway franchisees up for the award. But what made the Giblin's stand out is that they had a 40 percent sales increase which was the highest in the nation after relocating their store from 501 S. Sanborn St. to their new building at 802 N. Sanborn St.

The Giblins will receive a trophy in September at a district conference in Grand Island, Nebraska, and the trophy will be on display at their store.
