We’re excited to announce that Rodd and Jake Franke from Wheeling, WV have officially taken home the Grand Prize in our Gas, Grass & Glory Giveaway!
While Rodd’s 17-year-old son Jake was the driving force behind the entry, our giveaway rules require winners to be at least 18 years old. That means the prize is officially awarded to Rodd — but make no mistake, Jake’s hard work and entrepreneurial spirit are at the heart of this win. Jake has been hustling for this moment since he was just eight years old, building his landscaping business from the ground up with an entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, and the support of his family.
Their prize haul includes:
🏆 Yakta zero-turn mower
🏆 A amazing haul of Kress Power Tools
🏆 Two Chore Warrior powered wheelbarrows
Jake’s story is one of determination and grit. From mowing neighborhood lawns to managing a full crew, he’s learned the value of quality work, listening to mentors, and never backing down from a challenge. With Rodd’s guidance and a shared love for the outdoors, this father-son team is set to put their new equipment to work in a big way.
And they’re already eyeing our next big giveaway — the Blackout Haulout — featuring a truck, a Dura Haul trailer, and more. Jake says that prize would jump-start his dream of adding a dumpster rental service to his business.
Join us in congratulating Rodd and Jake in the comments! 👏
God bless, and go get 'em!
