Show your enthusiasm for the best franchises in the industry with the Franchise Times Zor Awards, recognizing the best companies in 10 hot industry segments.
This interactive awards program allows our readers to vote for their favorite brands in each of 10 categories, and our editorial team will make the final selections based on in-house research, our exclusive return-on-investment metrics and online voting that represents fan enthusiasm and industry momentum.
This year’s categories are: Sweet Tooth (dessert/treat franchises), Breaking Bread (sandwich franchises), By the Slice (pizza franchises), Dirty Jobs (disaster restoration franchises), Office Space (commercial cleaning franchises), Sweat It Out (gym franchises), Aging America (senior care franchises), Healing Touch (medical franchises), Fashion Forward (clothing franchises) and Window Shopping (specialty retail franchises).
Online voting begins Monday, December 5, and runs through Monday, December 12. The winners and runners-up will be announced in the March 2023 issue of Franchise Times.
Check out the lineup below to see which brands are competing for the title of best franchise to buy and then cast your votes in each category.
Contenders are drawn from the Franchise Times Top 500 database, a 20-year-old research tool covering more than 650 U.S.-based franchise systems. We further narrowed the list by analyzing the quality of information in each brand’s Item 19 (which contains information about profitability for franchisees) or other key financial data, and also focusing on brands that are currently expanding in the United States.
Let the voting begin!
