## Story

“We are thrilled to again be ranked on Franchise Business Review’s annual report,” said Donnie Carr, President and CEO of Christian Brothers Automotive. “Franchisee satisfaction is one of our top priorities. To be ranked above the industry standard is both humbling and validating, as it lets us know that our efforts to offer world-class support and culture to each of our franchisees doesn’t go unnoticed.”

To identify the award-winning companies on this year’s list of Most Profitable Franchises, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 30,000 franchise owners representing more than 300 brands. Franchise owners were surveyed about their overall satisfaction with their brand and their likelihood to recommend it to others. Other factors included annual income of franchise owners and minimum startup capital requirement.

To identify award-winning companies on the list of Best Franchise Culture, franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems. The brands that were selected received the highest overall ratings based on 12 questions that looked at perception of brand vision, team culture, honesty and integrity, and overall support.

Additionally, Christian Brothers Automotive ranked among 100 franchises as a Most Innovative Franchise, after franchise owners were asked about their brand’s innovation and creativity as well as their trust in the franchisor, overall satisfaction with the brand, and likelihood to recommend it to others.

“Owner satisfaction, profitability, and long-term return on your investment are three of the most critical factors anyone should consider before investing in any franchise business,” said Eric Stites, founder and CEO of Franchise Business Review. “If you take the time to do your research, you have a much better chance of finding a franchise that offers both a strong financial opportunity, as well as extremely high satisfaction among their franchise owners. Our goal is to provide an independent rating of franchise opportunities from the perspective of current franchisees.”

Based on the brand’s mission of “fixing cars, driving joy,” Christian Brothers Automotive offers a wide array of services, from simple upkeep and maintenance to preventative services addressing issues that would otherwise require more expensive repair and replacement down the road.
