Franchise Business Review, a national franchise market research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance.
Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as in special reports throughout the year that rank the top franchises in specific sectors.
Scooter’s Coffee was among 317 brands, representing over 9,000 multi-unit franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research.
Scooter’s Coffee franchisees were surveyed on 49 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including financial opportunity, leadership, training & support, operations and product development, core values (honesty and integrity of franchisor), general satisfaction, and the franchisee community.

We are dedicated to the success of our franchisees, and this respected award, in addition to being named a 2017 top franchise by Franchise Business Review, just further validates that our hard work is paying off.”
