SPRINGVILLE, Utah — Five 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.

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.”
