Doug Nations, general manager of Runza Restaurant in Lawrence, received the restaurant chain’s “Mr. Hustle” award during the company’s annual meeting last week in Lincoln, Neb.

Nations received the award for going “above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the store runs smoothly” and “proving himself as a loyal and devoted employee to Runza,” the company said. He will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas.

Runza has more than 70 restaurants in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Iowa. Nations has worked at the Runza in Lawrence for more than 12 years.
