The Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) has announced the recipients of the 2026 Franchisees’ Choice Designation. The awards will be presented during the 35th annual CFA National Convention at The Westin, Ottawa, Ontario (April 18 to April 20, 2026). This is the 16th annual awards program recognizing franchise systems that have been awarded the Franchisees’ Choice Designation.
For franchise systems winning multiple times in a row, the CFA has introduced special logos that these companies can use to promote their consistent high marks.
The Franchisees’ Choice Designees are CFA member franchise brands who voluntarily took part in an independently administered 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, and collective achievement,” says Sherry McNeil, CFE, President and CEO of the Canadian Franchise Association. ” Our congratulations go out to this year’s Designees for their outstanding efforts and unwavering commitment, which have earned them the trust and admiration of their franchisees.”
