Edo Japan awarded 2011 CFA Franchisees’ Choice designation.
Canadian Franchise Association Announces Inaugural Franchisees’ Choice Designees
(Toronto, ON) April 14, 2011… The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) (www.cfa.ca) announced the recipients of the 2011 Franchisees’ Choice designation on April 4, 2011 at a gala awards presentation during the CFA National Convention in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This is the inaugural year for the annual Franchisees’ Choice designation.
Says Lorraine McLachlan, CFA President and Chief Executive Officer, “CFA is delighted to award the Franchisees’ Choice designations to these exceptional CFA member franchise systems, who have all achieved solid rankings in franchisee satisfaction.”
The Franchisees’ Choice designees are CFA member franchise systems who voluntarily took part in an independently-administered survey. Their franchisees were asked to rate the 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; ongoing operations; and the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee.
“Being a Franchisees’ Choice designee is a high honour,” says Graham Cooke, Chair of the CFA Board of Directors and Vice President of New Restaurant Expansion, A&W Food Services of Canada. “Because the program is voluntary, these franchise systems are to be commended for wanting to further examine the strength of the relationships they have with their franchisees and they are rightfully proud of achieving this designation.”
The Franchisees’ Choice designees are representative of the spectrum of franchise opportunities and the diversity and excellence of all CFA members. Regardless of any awards or recognitions a franchise system may receive, CFA strongly recommends that prospective franchisees conduct thorough due diligence. CFA offers an array of products and events for prospective franchisees, including FranchiseCanada magazine, the annual FranchiseCanada Directory, the CFA website, and The Franchise Show, Canada’s largest franchise-only tradeshow held across Canada.
