COBS Bread Receives Special 7-Year Franchisees' Choice Designation at CFA National Convention
VANCOUVER, April 6, 2017 /CNW/ - COBS Bread was honoured as a recipient of the Franchisees' Choice designation on April 3, 2017 during a Gala Awards Presentation at the 26th annual Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) National Convention in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This is the seventh year for the annual Franchisees' Choice designation program and COBS Bread was recognized for its accomplishment in receiving the designation every year since 2011.
The Franchisees' Choice designees are CFA member franchise systems who voluntarily took part in an independently-administered survey. This year, more than 60 CFA member franchise systems participated in the survey. Franchisees were asked to assess their 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.
"This award is very special for COBS Bread as the voting is conducted by our franchisees," says Brad Bissonnette, Vice President – Marketing & Franchise Recruitment, COBS Bread. "It validates the progressive and successful relationship we have with our franchisees and signals that an investment with COBS Bread is a great decision."
In the due diligence process of investigating a franchise opportunity, speaking with existing franchisees about the opportunity being explored is essential. For prospective franchisees, the Franchisees' Choice designation identifies that a franchise brand has received solid endorsement and ratings from its franchisees. The 2017 Franchisees' Choice designees are representative of the spectrum of franchise opportunities and the diversity and excellence of CFA members.
"The true strength of a franchise system lies in the mutually-rewarding relationship between a franchisor and its franchisees," says Lorraine McLachlan, CFA President and Chief Executive Officer. "Being a Franchisees' Choice designee is an honour and a vote of confidence because the high rankings in franchisee satisfaction come directly from the franchisees themselves."
