Presented by the Canadian Franchise Association, the Franchisee of the Year Award recognizes top-performing franchisees for their unique accomplishments and excellence in business performance, community service, and brand involvement.
Franchisees are the heart of the franchise systems: they invested their own capital to open a business and they’re on the front lines working hard to make their business a success.
The Franchisee of the Year Award is the opportunity to recognize and shine some light on Canada’s superstar franchisees! This award is given to franchisees in Traditional and Non-Traditional Franchise categories.
“The CFA Awards of Excellence in Franchising acknowledges the top achievers in the Canadian franchising industry. The winners have exemplified the significance of Growing Together® by showcasing the symbiotic relationship between franchisor and franchisees.”
