LAKE CITY, Florida – Ellianos Coffee is one of just 38 franchise companies to be named an award-winning franchise by Franchise Business Review in its 2022 report on the Top Food and Beverage Franchises. Ellianos Coffee is a coffee franchise that was founded on the principles of quality, speed, and consistency.
Founders Scott and Pam Stewart have dedicated their lives to this mission, developing systems and strategies to satisfy to the consumer and franchisee alike.
One such system is the proven, efficient double-sided drive-thru. This design provides consumers with speedy, convenient service while offering high-quality coffee and allows the franchisee to maximize sales.
Ellianos Coffee is a rapidly growing brand with territory availability in states across the southeast United States. There are currently 23 operating store locations, with several others on deck to open their doors.
Franchise Business Review, a market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ranking of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction. Franchise Business Review publishes rankings of the top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as special interest reports throughout the year recognizing the top franchises in specific sectors.
To select the companies on this year’s list of top food franchises, Franchise Business Review analyzed 18 months’ worth of data from over 10,500 franchise owners in the food sector regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others.
Ellianos franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems including training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.
“The food franchise sector is historically one of the toughest, but delivers a tremendous return on investment for many,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “The key is to choose the right brand. The award-winning brands on our list of the Top Food Franchises rate 15% – 25% higher on average in overall franchisee satisfaction over other food competitors. That data is very telling in that it provides real insight for someone considering investing in a franchise into the companies that are performing well in the areas critical to their franchisees’ success.”
Ellianos President and Founder Scott Stewart commented on the recognition, stating, “It’s an honor to once again be named among the 2022 Top Food & Beverage Franchises. We’ve dedicated ourselves to establishing robust support programs to show our franchisees that we truly value them, champion them, and will do whatever it takes to help them accomplish their business goals. We’re so happy to know they feel satisfied and fulfilled being part of the Ellianos family.”
