| Five Star Franchising, a rapidly growing platform of home service franchise brands, has reinforced its industry standing with two of its brands earning spots on Franchise Business Review’s (FBR) prestigious Top 200 Franchises List for 2026. Five Star Bath Solutions and Card My Yard were recognized based entirely on independent research and direct feedback from franchise owners, highlighting strong satisfaction levels and operational performance across both brands. The annual FBR rankings are distinctive in the franchise ecosystem as they rely solely on franchisee input, evaluating parameters such as training, operational support, franchisor-franchisee relationships, and financial opportunity. This owner-driven methodology positions the list as one of the most credible benchmarks of franchise system health. For Card My Yard, the recognition marks its fourth consecutive year on the Top 200 list, underlining the brand’s consistent momentum and commitment to franchisee success. The celebratory yard-greeting franchise has also accumulated multiple accolades in recent years, including recognition in 2025 as a Top Franchise for Women, a Top Low-Cost Franchise, a Most Innovative Franchise, and a Top Franchise for Veterans by Franchise Business Review. Five Star Bath Solutions, meanwhile, earned its place on the list for the second year in a row. The bath remodeling franchise has steadily built a reputation for profitability and support, having previously been named a Top Franchise for Veterans in 2024 and a Top Profitable Franchise in 2025. Its continued presence on the Top 200 list reflects the brand’s scalable business model and strong operational systems. “What sets this recognition apart is that it is based entirely on the voices of franchise owners,” said Scott Abbott, co-founder and CEO of Five Star Franchising. “It speaks to the systems, processes, and culture our teams work hard to build every day—helping owners grow successful businesses while maintaining balance in their lives.” The dual recognition adds to a growing list of recent honours for Five Star Franchising and its portfolio companies. The platform has been featured on the Utah Valley BusinessQ UV50 and the MountainWest Capital Network Utah 100 lists, which recognise the fastest-growing companies in the region. In 2025, Entrepreneur magazine named Five Star Bath Solutions among the Fastest-Growing Franchises in the U.S. and Canada, as well as one of the Top Franchises Under $150,000. Card My Yard was similarly recognised by Entrepreneur as one of the Top Franchises Under $50,000. Franchise Business Review, a leading franchise market research firm, compiles its Top 200 list as part of its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises. The firm surveys thousands of franchise owners each year, making it the only major franchise accolade based exclusively on verified owner satisfaction data. Headquartered in Utah, Five Star Franchising operates more than 1,600 locations across North America through a diverse portfolio of home service brands. Franchisees benefit from a robust support ecosystem, including ProNexis, a 24/7 sales support solution, and Five Star Marketing Services, the company’s in-house marketing engine. Guided by its DRIVE values Driven, Real, Innovative, Vital, and Enthusiastic the company continues to position itself as a category leader in the home services franchise sector. |
