World-Class Franchise® certification based on franchisee satisfaction

ROSWELL, GA -- Franchise Gator today announced the release of its "Top Franchisee Satisfaction Franchises" list as compiled by the Franchise Research Institute. The list highlights leading franchises and awards "World-Class Franchise" certification based on data gathered from confidential surveys regarding franchisee satisfaction.

As the provider of the most comprehensive online franchise directory, Franchise Gator connects entrepreneurs with available franchise and business opportunities. "We have come to learn that a franchisee testimonial can be the most influential piece of text a prospective franchisee can read," said Eric Bell, Director of Sales and Service at Franchise Gator. "When we saw what Jeff Johnson at the Franchise Research Institute was doing, we felt it was important to pass that valuable information along to our site visitors."

According to Jeff Johnson, Founder of the Franchise Research Institute, a key component to evaluating the quality of a franchise investment lies with validation from current franchisees. "For prospective franchisees, seeing a franchisor's name on the list as a testimonial from their own franchisees can be very powerful and serves to reinforce a franchisor's reputation as a leader in their industry," said Johnson.
