Press
We know how difficult the process of choosing the right franchise can be. That’s why at More Space Place® you can rest assured that not only has our business model proven to be solid, but we have been consistently recognized by some of the franchise industry’s leading publications as one of the nation’s top franchises.
Bond’s Franchise Guide
Our most recent recognition came from Bond’s Top 100 Franchises for three consecutive issues (printed in 2004, 2006 and 2009). Bond’s Guide is one of the most prominent franchise guides and is published by Source Book Publications. Franchises are chosen based on name recognition, product quality, total investment, on-going expenses, training programs, on-going support and the exclusive territory awarded to new franchises.
Entrepreneur Magazine
Our franchise has also placed in Entrepreneur Magazine’s annual Top 500 Franchise selection for three years running, including 2006, 2007 and 2008. Companies are selected on the basis of numerous criteria, including: the company’s financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system, number of years in franchising, start-up costs, litigation, percentage of terminations and whether the company offers financing.
USA Today/National Minority Franchise Initiative
Selected as one of USA Today’s 50 Top Franchises for Minorities by the National Minority Franchise Initiative in the national newspaper’s October 2007 listing. The selection process covers historical performance, brand identification, market dynamics, franchisee satisfaction, level of training and support and financial stability.
AllBusiness AllStar/D&B
Finally, More Space Place was recognized by AllBusiness AllStar’s Top 300 Franchise directory in 2009. It places particular emphasis on the company’s financial strength to survive and flourish in these recessionary times as determined by its parent company Dun and Bradstreet.
