The Franchisees’ Choice Designation honours CFA member franchise systems with exceptional rankings in franchisee satisfaction.

The Franchisees’ Choice designees are CFA member franchise brands who voluntarily took part in an independently administered survey.

Franchisees were asked to assess their franchisor in key areas of the franchise business model, including the franchisee selection process, franchisee information package, leadership, business planning and marketing, training, and support, as well as ongoing operations and the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee.

In the due diligence process of investigating a franchise opportunity, speaking with existing franchisees about the opportunity being explored is essential. For prospective franchisees, the Franchisees’ Choice Designation identifies that a franchise brand has received a solid endorsement through its satisfaction ratings from its franchisees. The 2025 Franchisees’ Choice Designees are representative of the spectrum of franchise opportunities and the diversity and standard of excellence of CFA members.

By recognizing our Franchisees’ Choice Designees, we honour the fundamental principle of franchising: collaborating in synergy, achieving mutual success and thriving together. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the Franchisees’ Choice Designees of this year, for earning the trust and admiration of their franchisees through their exceptional efforts and commitment.
