WAHOO â Christmas came a few months early for Becky Lacey this year.
The Wahoo woman received a prestigious national honor for her work as the restaurant general manager at Pizza Hut in Wahoo for over 40 years.
On Sept. 21, Lacey was awarded the Folino Life Unboxed Award from Pizza Hut, which is given to one restaurant general manager per year by the company.
The award is granted to someone who is a true leader in their community and their restaurant and is making an impact on their customers and employees as well as the community where the restaurant is located.
With over 6,000 Pizza Hut restaurants in the United States, it is a major achievement to receive this award, according to Dave Staub, who owns 68 restaurants in five states including the Wahoo store.
