FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TORONTO, ON — June 30, 2020 — Scholars is a finalist of the 2020 Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) Awards of Excellence in Franchising in the Category of Traditional – 30-99 Franchisees. Considered the pinnacle of franchise achievement in Canada, the CFA Awards of Excellence in Franchising are given annually to franchise systems that have demonstrated superior franchise relations, leadership, training and communications.
Scholars is also a recipient of the CFA Franchisees’ Choice designation—for the fifth consecutive year. Now in its tenth year, the annual Franchisees’ Choice Designation Program recognizes Scholars for its accomplishment in receiving this designation.
This year, more than 70 CFA member brands participated in the CFA Awards of Excellence in Franchising program. 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.
“We are proud of our franchisees and all they have accomplished,” says Kirk Langford, COO of Scholars. “The education industry is dynamic and ever-changing, and requires us to continually innovate and adapt. Our franchisees do this every day, and welcome the opportunity to help more families in their communities across Canada. It takes dedication, cooperation, and integrity to be successful, and our franchisees demonstrate all of those qualities in the work they do.”
“The CFA Awards of Excellence in Franchising celebrate franchise brands that have demonstrated the strongest relationships with their franchisees, a true representation of the very best of Canadian franchising in 2020 and Growing Together™,” says Sherry McNeil, CFA President & Chief Executive Officer. “The honoured franchises prove that above all else, the connection between a franchisor and their franchisees is vital to a franchise system’s success.”
