Franchise Business Review, a franchise market research firm, has added Showhomes Franchise Corporation to its list of companies receiving their 4-star owner rating.
Showhomes participated in The 2008 Franchisee Satisfaction Awards, which rated over 300 participating franchise companies according to their overall levels of franchise owner satisfaction.
Thomas Scott, Showhomes' Vice President of Operations, said: "We are really excited about our survey results. Showhomes is one of the most attractive franchise opportunities in the country right now. Our owners generate income far higher than industry average and they really enjoy what they do. We are committed to the success of our franchisees - when they experience success in their business, we are successful as a result. We have worked hard as a team with our franchise owners for the past four years and it shows; the survey results speak for themselves."
The survey invited each franchise owner to participate and asked 20 questions related to their franchise ownership experience, covering areas such as franchisee training and support, system quality issues, franchisor relationship, financial opportunity and overall satisfaction.
Showhomes' commitment to its franchisees is apparent from the survey results:
- 80% of franchise owners in the system responded
- 86% of franchise owners said they would do it again
- 87% said Showhomes offers great long-term growth
- 93% rated franchisee support as top-notch
Eric Stites, President of Franchise Business Review, was impressed: "Franchisee satisfaction is clearly one of the most important factors to consider before investing in any franchise. We have surveyed thousands of franchisees from hundreds of franchise systems across North America. The franchises that receive our four-star rating from their franchise owners represent some of the best investment opportunities in the marketplace today."
