The annual CFA Awards gala, which takes place at the Canadian Franchise Association’s National Convention each year, has been called “the Oscars of franchising.” Sure, there are statues and prestigious awards—and our franchising community can certainly pull out some red carpet-worthy looks. But the real highlight of the evening is that CFA Award winners are truly chosen by their community, whether industry peers or franchisees of their systems.
Franchisee feedback from CFA member systems is collected through an extensive third-party survey, the results of which provide the basis for nominations for the Franchisees’ Choice Designees and Awards of Excellence. This process is what makes these awards the ultimate indicators of franchisee satisfaction—which in turn is a key indicator of a franchise system’s health and success!
This issue of Franchise Canada is chock full of brands who’ve received these prestigious designations, making this issue not only a celebration but an invaluable resource for those who are on their journey to franchise ownership.
Of course, there are plenty of other resources available for you to find your perfect franchise fit, including the Franchise Canada directory and the CFA’s online resource, LookforaFranchise.ca. While you research, don’t forget to Look for the Logo: our CFA Member logo tells you which brands have joined the CFA community and signed on to our Code of Ethics, meaning—like all the brands you’ll find in this issue’s pages—they are a qualified brand committed to excellence in franchising and to the importance of the franchisee-franchisor relationship.
As every successful franchise professional knows, it’s not all about the glitz and glam of awards night—success in business ownership comes through hard work, day-to-day adherence to a proven system, and the implementation of innovative strategies. And that payoff is more than worth it.
