Jani-King was named as a recipient of the Franchisees’ Choice designation for the 8th consecutive year on April 20, 2026, during the Awards Gala at the 2026 Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) National Convention in Ottawa, Ontario. This is the 16th year for the Franchisees’ Choice Designation Program, and Jani-King was honoured for its accomplishment in receiving this designation.
The Franchisees’ Choice designees are CFA member franchise brands who voluntarily took part in an independently-administered survey. This year, an overwhelming number of CFA member franchise brands participated in the survey. Franchisees were asked to assess their franchisor in key areas of the franchise business model, including the franchisee selection process, franchisee information package, leadership, business planning and marketing, training and support, as well as ongoing operations and the relationship between the franchisor and franchisee.
In the due diligence process of investigating a franchise opportunity, speaking with existing franchisees about the opportunity being explored is essential. For prospective franchisees, the Franchisees’ Choice Designation identifies that a franchise brand has received a solid endorsement through its satisfaction ratings from its franchisees. The 2026 Franchisees’ Choice Designees are representative of the spectrum of franchise opportunities and the diversity and standard of excellence of CFA members.
“In honouring our Franchisees’ Choice Designees, we recognize the essence of franchising: teamwork, mutual prosperity, collective achievement, and Growing Together says Sherry McNeil, CFA President & Chief Executive Officer. “Our congratulations go out to Jani-King on receiving this outstanding vote of confidence from their franchisees.”
