Over its 43 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees. Re-Bath’s position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a franchise opportunity.

“Difficulties related to the pandemic continued last year, but our leadership team and franchisees worked together to make 2021 a success,” said Bill McPherson, vice president of franchise development. “As we transitioned back to normal, our franchise continued to evolve to meet the needs of our customers. Sales remained steady, and we were able to thrive. That wouldn’t be possible without a combined effort from everyone under the AlphaGraphics banner.”

Leader in window treatment consultation highlighted for franchisee satisfaction.

DENVER — Gotcha Covered, a leader in custom window treatment consultation in the U.S. and Canada, was recognized for its excellence in franchisee satisfaction after being named to the Top 200 Franchises of 2022 list by Franchise Business Review. They ranked 15^th in the Top 50 Midsize Franchise category on the list.

In its 17^th year, the annual list of the 200 best franchise opportunities is ranked based on the highest level of overall franchisee satisfaction by participating companies.

“One thing we take pride in at Gotcha Covered is our franchisee support system,” said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered. “We strive to help make our franchise owners succeed and thrive in their communities. We offer extensive training and provide technology that separates our franchisees from their competitors. We also make sure that someone is always available to answer any questions that our owners have. We are one big family.”

Gotcha Covered was among over 300 franchise brands, representing more than 30,000 franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research. Franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction in key areas of their franchise system including training and support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.

“While the pandemic impacted various business sectors differently, the last 18 months have clearly demonstrated the inherent strengths of the franchise business model. The old franchise adage of ‘being in business for yourself, but not by yourself’ has never been more important,” said Franchise Business Review founder & CEO Eric Stites. “Thanks to fast innovations, significant support, and responsive crisis management, many franchise brands have emerged stronger from the pandemic, and that is reflected in high franchisee satisfaction.”

Franchise Business Review, a market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction and employee engagement, provides the only rankings and awards for franchise companies based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of the top 200 franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises.
