CFA Franchisees' Choice

The Franchisees’ Choice designation, presented annually by the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA), is awarded to CFA member franchise systems for their solid rankings in franchisee satisfaction. These franchise systems take part in an independently-administered survey, wherein franchisees are asked to rate the franchisor in key areas of the franchise business model, such as franchisee selection process, information package, leadership, business planning and marketing, training and support, ongoing operations, and the relationship between 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.
