Franchise Business Review, a franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings and awards for franchise companies based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance (see video for explanation). Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of the top 200 franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises.
Discovery Map International, Inc. was among 334 franchise brands, representing approximately 30,000 franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research. Discovery Map International, Inc. franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.
“There are thousands of successful franchise companies operating in North America, but many of those companies do not offer a solid investment opportunity for the actual franchiseowners,” says Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “As an independent research firm, we rate the franchise companies in the marketplace today and identify those that have the highest levels of satisfaction and performance among their franchisees in order to help entrepreneurs when choosing which franchise to invest in. The companies on this year’s list are the top performing brands in the areas critical to their franchisees’ success.”
“Discovery Map is truly a unique and appealing franchise opportunity. It’s not a 9-to-5 gig and you don’t necessarily have to work 12 months a year to run a successful franchise. You just have to be willing to work hard when you work,” said Peter Hans, president of Discovery Map International since 2005. “This recognition by Franchise Business Review is gratifying on several
levels, but mostly that we’re delivering a system that works for our owners and they appreciate that.”
