SMALL BUSINESS NOMINATION
 
Do you know DeSoto?
 
Olive Branch, Mississippi, has played a significant role in the training success of the Holiday Inn brand for many years. As the hotel chain expanded in the late 1960s, its property managers, known as "innkeepers," were required to attend hands-on training classes right here in Olive Branch. In 1971, the company took innkeeper prep a step further by opening Holiday Inn University. This training program in Olive Branch played a vital role in facilitating the brand's growth while maintaining exceptionally high standards across all its locations.
