When we first honored four forward-thinking entrepreneurs in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in , we had only just begun to recognize the forward thinking that is the hallmark of American business. We also extend to cities and 60 countries worldwide. They are visionaries who launch and reimagine businesses, employ millions and endow their communities, leaving legacies of accomplishment and enrichment while setting the pace for generations of entrepreneurs to come.

We salute the finalists being honored tonight and congratulate the award winners! Ewing, Jr. Nominated by: Luke Skurman, Niche. Serving 50 million guests annually in restaurants, college and corporate campuses, and an online store, EPHG is still 91 percent family owned. The low turnover rate in a difficult industry is evidence of that; over employees have been with the company more than 25 years.

Where the average turnover rate for hourly employees is percent, EPHG has maintained a turnover rate of 50 percent. Broadhurst has put in place training and education programs to help employees grow, such as the entire management team going through training last year. In addition, EPHG donates at least 5 percent of its annual pre-tax earnings to local charities and employees have spent thousands of hours in the community.
