Alesia Visconti, CEO and President of FranServe Inc. says:
“Franchising helps people change their lives, and we see that every day! So many people don’t know that franchising is made up of small business owners — the business model truly celebrates entrepreneurs and business growth. Brands that make the 2026 “FranServe Fran-tastic Brands” list value people taking control of their future through business ownership. We are recognizing these fran-tastic brands for going the extra mile in supporting their franchisees and for adhering to responsible franchising!”
