Over the course of the month of May, each of the top 20 franchise development sites as determined by the judges will be broken down, one by one, to highlight their strengths and what stood out to the judges. Kicking off the Top 20 is Restoration 1, which came in tied at No. 19 overall with a composite score of 11.2 out of 15.
