Franchise Business Review (FBR) provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. FBR publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as in quarterly reports throughout the year that rank the top franchises in specific sectors. More than 9,000 franchisees representing over 153 low-cost brands participated in Franchise Business Review’s franchisee satisfaction survey between July 2018 and February 2020. Creative Colors International’s 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. “Many people never consider buying a franchise because they think they can’t afford it. But what they don’t know is that there are a number of very solid business opportunities out there that can provide the satisfaction and perks of business ownership but don’t require a huge financial investment,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “The low-cost franchises that made this year’s list are excellent options for those who are looking to make the leap to business ownership.” Creative Colors survey data showed the following: - Creative Colors exceeded FBR’s benchmark franchisee satisfaction numbers in the areas of Training & Support, Franchise System, Core Values and Overall Satisfaction. - CCI ranked highest in the category of Core Values with a score of 4.4 out of 5.0. This measured franchisees’ feelings about the franchisor in the areas of Trust, Respect, Honesty & Integrity and Care about Success. - Within Core Values, CCI scored highest in Honesty & Integrity, which rated the franchisor’s corporate culture and the promotion of honest and ethical business practices. “The Creative Colors franchise is a mobile, home-based business with low overhead and few start-up costs,” said Mark Bollman, President of Creative Colors International. “Being named to the Franchise Business Review list is a reflection of our desire to keep the cost of our franchises at a reasonable and attainable level.” Launched in 1991, the Creative Colors International (CCI) franchise system was created through its affiliate, J&J’s Creative Colors, the original industry leader in refurbishment techniques and systems. Today, both companies continue to be family-owned and operated by the second generation. Catering to the abundance of upholstered items in every home, business, and vehicle, CCI is the ultimate in on-site repair, restoration, cleaning, protection, and dyeing of leather, vinyl, plastic and fabric. Through proprietary technology, CCI restores damaged material at a fraction of replacement costs, saving customers up to 90 percent. CCI repairs are stronger than the original area and are nearly invisible to the naked eye. In the Automotive, Furniture and Commercial Markets, CCI offers on-site repair and restoration to all types of leather, vinyl, fabric, plastic and carpeting by repairing and re-dyeing holes, cuts, tears, burns, scrapes, fading and discoloration.
