Grout Doctor is announced as a 2011 Franchisee Satisfaction Award Winner

by Franchise Business Review

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (April 7, 2011) - Franchise Business Review announced the recipients of its 2011 Top Franchises awards at the International Franchise Association conference in Las Vegas. Based on a survey of more than 10,000 franchisees representing more than 300 franchise brands, The Grout Doctor® was named a 2011 Top 50 Franchisee Satisfaction Award Winner. To date, The Grout Doctor® is the only company in its industry to ever receive this award. As the largest and most experienced national franchise exclusively providing grout, tile and stone care by highly qualified specialists, The Grout Doctor® continues to stand strong, positioned for success in the recovering economy.

'Are we seeing higher satisfaction rates as the economy improves? Absolutely,' said Franchise Business Review President and CEO Eric Stites. 'But many of the award-winning companies have maintained great satisfaction scores throughout the recession and only continue to improve. It's very telling when you see a franchisor with impressive franchisee satisfaction even when the economy is struggling.'

Franchise Business Review awards the Top Franchises awards annually to franchisors with the highest overall franchisee satisfaction according to an annual survey of operators. Franchisors request the free survey, which is offered to all active franchisees who have been in business for at least three months. The survey includes 33 benchmark questions, relating to the franchisee's experience and satisfaction, as well as market area, business lifestyle and other demographic questions. Franchise Business Review contacts each franchisee individually and has an average franchisee participation rate of 70%.

Award recipient, The Grout Doctor®, agrees that franchise satisfaction correlates with business success. This is their second consecutive year receiving the Franchise Satisfaction award, an achievement that Robin Rotella, Director of Franchise Sales and Marketing for Grout Doctor Global Franchise Corp., says sets a standard in the industry. 'Franchisee satisfaction is an important factor in the performance of a brand and I expect The Grout Doctor's growth and success to continue in the future.'
