I’m incredibly honored and grateful to receive this recognition. Card My Yard has become so much more than a business to me…it’s given me the opportunity to spread JOY, serve our community, build relationships, and be part of an amazing franchise family.
None of this happens without my wonderful husband, my family, our incredible customers and community, and everyone who has supported and cheered us on along the way. 💚
Thank you, Card My Yard for the nomination!! Thank you IFA for this incredible honor and thank YOU all for the sweet comments, messages, calls and congratulations. I’ve read every single one, and they mean more than you know! 🥹
Washington D.C., here we come! 🇺🇸💚
🎉👏 Meet Allison Navejar — 2026 IFA Franchisee of the Year and owner of Card My Yard Kingwood, TX and Card My Yard Spring.
Allison has built her Kingwood and Spring, TX territories into a case study for what disciplined ex*****on looks like inside the Card My Yard system. She leads with joy, innovates early, and delivers results that make the numbers talk.
▶️ 44% year-over-year sales growth at her primary location
▶️ 42% year-over-year growth at her secondary location
▶️ First-mover on celeBRITE numbers, providing feedback that shaped how the rollout landed system-wide
▶️ Secured a Texas Roadhouse partnership that created lasting value for her business and the brand
Beyond the numbers, Allison shows up. She's a consistent presence at Card My Yard events, an active mentor to fellow owners, and a brand ambassador whose enthusiasm is contagious across the network.
Allison will be honored in Washington, D.C. next week at the IFA26 Advocacy Summit — congratulations, Allison, and to the entire Navejar family.
