TopNewFranchises.Com Celebrates Exciting New Franchise Opportunities

There’s something invigorating about searching for the next great franchise concept. All of the negativity about franchising in the press lately, with the nightmares surrounding Quiznos, The UPS Store, iSold It and others can’t obscure the fact that there are exciting concepts emerging every day, manned by founders and entrepreneurs interested in sharing their successful formulas and building win-win relationships with franchisees.

Somewhat in response to the high-profile failings of the Entrepreneur franchise lists, I decided to create a competition for Top New Franchise based initially on nominations and votes from the franchisees & customers themselves. You can see it at TopNewFranchises.Com.

Anyone can nominate their pick for the Top New Franchise, and all nominees are able to receive “votes,” in the form of customer, franchisee and employee endorsements, free of charge. It is the only franchise recognition program that allows franchise owners and customers to share their enthusiasm for their favorite franchise.

Despite our intentionally soft opening, with no advertising for the site and little fanfare, we began receiving nominations and votes faster than we could list the companies. By the end of the first full week we received 20 nominations and hundreds of votes.

What are the hot new franchise concepts in the running for Top New Franchise? There is a wide variety of new franchises, from organic pizza restaurants to bulk tobacco shops, and from indoor golf to facility management franchises. Some of the Top New Franchisees include:

Pizza Fusion, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Eco-friendly restaurant with an all-natural and organic menu of gourmet pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, salads, and more.

7 Valleys Custom Blends Farm Fresh Tobacco, York, PA. Retail store featuring 49 custom blends of bulk tobacco, cigars and supplies for “making your own” cigarettes.

Parker Finch Management, Phoenix, AZ. The first community association management firm in the nation to franchise its operations.

Mr. Sandless, Philadelphia, PA. Home-based business enabling franchise owners to provide revolutionary hardwood floor refinishing without sanding.

National Realty Group, Riverside, CA. Innovative real estate system that provides a single source for real estate, mortgage and escrow services under one roof.

Other franchise concepts nominated include Mr. Pickles Sandwich Shop (Roseville, CA), Discount Sport Nutrition (Dallas, TX), Jim Burwell’s Petiquette (Houston, TX), Play N Trade (Newport Beach, CA), Flicko’s Video Workshop (Louisville, KY), Lice Squad (Gilford, Ontario), Ho Math & Chess (Vancouver, British Columbia), PropertyGuys.Com (Moncton, NB), Monster Mini Golf (Providence, RI), Philly Soft Pretzel Factory (Philadelphia, PA), Business Advisers International (Southbury, CT), MonitorClosely.Com (Cincinnati, OH), Paciugo Italian Gelato Caffe (Dallas, TX), The Dinner A’Fare ( Atlanta, GA), and Pass Your Plate (Edmond, OK).
