Crestcom was among more than 330 franchise brands representing over 29,000 franchise owners that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the best franchise cultures. Franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems. The selected brands received the highest overall ratings across 17 areas that contribute to a strong company culture, including leadership, core values, franchisee community, and engagement.
“Culture fit is one of the most critical, and most elusive, factors in a franchise investment decision,” said Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review. “At Franchise Business Review, we survey thousands of current franchise owners to understand how they truly feel about the brand they’ve invested in. Our data measures the indicators that matter most to a thriving franchise culture: whether franchisees feel genuinely supported by their franchisor, and how effectively franchise teams and support staff collaborate to achieve shared goals. The brands recognized on this year’s Culture100 list earned franchisee ratings that outpace the industry average by 20% to 50% across these key cultural dimensions. For anyone exploring franchise ownership, these are the brands worth knowing about first.”
