2023-04-27T10:45:15-04:00April 27th, 2023|Tags: , , , , , |

Independent research data shows franchise owners are highly satisfied with their investment in the fast-growing bath remodeling franchise.

SPRINGVILLE, UtahFive Star Bath Solutions, one of the fastest-growing bath remodeling franchises in the world and part of the Five Star Franchising platform of home service brands, was identified by independent franchise research firm Franchise Business Review as a 2023 Top Low-Cost Franchise.

Five Star Bath Solutions provides premier bath solutions for everyone and every need, with a mission to design and build dream bathrooms through expertise and trust. Five Star Bath Solutions is advancing the bathroom renovation industry through innovative technology, custom products, and attention to customer service.

“At Five Star Bath Solutions, we’re committed to giving our franchise owners proven tools and processes to help them succeed in their market,” said Dean Hartley, president of Five Star Bath Solutions. “This recognition reflects our passion for supporting our franchise owners and our powerful strategy for growing our brand through their success.”

Franchise Business Review provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchise owner satisfaction and performance. FBR publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as in quarterly reports throughout the year that rank the top franchises in specific sectors.

“Five Star Bath Solutions is raising the bar for bath remodeling franchises,” said J. Andrew Mengason, chief growth officer for Five Star Franchising. “They offer value and excellence for franchise owners and their customers, and that’s driving extraordinary growth throughout North America.”

Nearly 12,000 franchise owners participated in Franchise Business Review’s franchisee satisfaction survey over 18 months. The brands that were named to the list of the best low-cost franchises to buy had to have high franchisee satisfaction and an investment of under $100,000 at the time their franchise owners participated in FBR’s satisfaction survey.

Five Star Bath Solutions franchise owners were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training and support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, culture, and financial opportunity.

“One of the most common myths around buying a franchise is that it’s too expensive. But what many people don’t know is that there are a number of very solid business opportunities out there that can provide the satisfaction and perks of business ownership but don’t require a huge financial investment,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “Approximately one-third of the franchise companies we survey have initial investments starting under $100,000.

“More importantly, the franchises that made this year’s list of the Top Low-Cost Franchises have average owner satisfaction 12% higher than our industry benchmark, making them all excellent options for entrepreneurs considering franchise ownership.”

Service franchise brand parent group positions new leadership to steer accelerated growth, brand development in 2022 and beyond.

SPRINGVILLE, Utah — Five Star Franchising, an innovative service-based franchise platform company, has appointed J. Andrew Mengason as Chief Growth Officer. Additionally, one of Five Star Franchising’s brands, Bio-One Inc., has promoted former Vice President of Operations Sandi Ellis, to President of the brand.

Mengason comes to Five Star Franchising with two-and-a-half decades of experience in franchising and acquisition of brands, most notably in the restoration and home service industries. He began his career with a small textile restoration firm, then took a leadership position with Certified Restoration Dry Cleaning Network (CRDCN) and then moved to Chief Operating Officer with BELFOR Franchise Group. As COO of BELFOR Franchise Group, he led the acquisition of 1-800 Water Damage and oversaw the growth of the company’s other residential and commercial brands, including DUCTZ and HOODZ, eventually positioning the company for a sale to American Securities in 2019.

Mengason will focus on franchise development growth of the Five Star brands. In addition to leading the franchise development team, he will have operational responsibility for several Five Star brands.

“I’m thrilled to join the Five Star Franchising team,” said Mengason. “Throughout my career, growing companies through acquisitions, expanding brands and making sure franchisees get the support they need to succeed in their businesses have been my priorities, and Five Star shares these goals.”

One of Five Star Franchising’s five brands, Bio-One Inc., has promoted former Vice President of Operations Sandi Ellis to Brand President. After being a Bio-One franchise owner from 2013 to 2017, Ellis joined the Bio-One corporate team, helping it grow to more than 115 franchise locations across 40 states. Prior to owning a Bio-One franchise, Ellis was with Brinker International where she held multiple finance and operational roles.

“Now is an exciting time to be a part of Bio-One, and I deeply enjoy working alongside our passionate and dedicated teams,” said Ellis. “Bio-One has been part of my life for nearly a decade, and I’m humbled and honored to lead the organization through this next chapter of growth and continue our long-standing tradition of helping those in their greatest times of need.”

“Much of Andrew’s success in franchising can be tied to his entrepreneurial spirit and relentless pursuit of providing the highest level of support to the customer; the franchise owner,” said Five Star Franchising CEO, Scott Abbott. “With Sandi, as a former franchisee and Vice President of Operations, she fully understands what franchisees experience and how to help them succeed. In her new role, she will oversee ongoing business operations for our franchise offices across the United States.”
