Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

A distinguished professional in both real estate and hospitality, Mr. Kranias has made significant strides in his multi-faceted career. As the chief executive officer and co-owner of Olive Oil Grille, he has successfully established one of the most popular restaurants in the tri-state area. His entrepreneurial spirit is evident as he and his brother, also his business partner, utilize healthy, locally-based ingredients to deliver a fast casual dining experience. Additionally, he serves as the president of CREB Realty, where he works with clients across Pennsylvania to locate retail properties and manage investment portfolios. His expertise in retail location analysis has been instrumental in his success, earning him multiple features in real estate magazines.

Mr. Kranias' storied journey as a business owner has not been without challenges. He and his brother experienced several failures before achieving success, including two futile pizza enterprises.
