Fibrenew Named a Top Franchise for Women by Franchise Business Review
Fibrenew was identified by Franchise Business Review as being one of only 100 franchises to qualify as a 2026 Top Franchise for Women.
Fibrenew, the world’s largest Leather, Plastic, and Vinyl restoration franchise, was recently named a Top Franchise for Women by Franchise Business Review in its report on the Top Franchises for Women for 2026. With 320+ locations in seven countries, a solid foundation and history that dates back to 1985, an expertly crafted proprietary product line, and exclusive color-matching technology, Fibrenew is well-equipped to succeed through the rise and fall of the world economy in the months and years to come.
Franchise Business Review (FBR), a franchise research firm that performs independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as in quarterly reports throughout the year that rank the top franchises in specific sectors.
Fibrenew was among 320 franchise brands, representing nearly 8,550 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. Fibrenew’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.
“For women exploring the path to business ownership—whether full-time or part-time—franchising opens a world of real, achievable opportunity,” said Michelle Rowan, president of Franchise Business Review. “But with a vast landscape of options out there, due diligence is everything. Before committing to any brand, women should take a close look at what current female franchisees are actually experiencing: the quality of training and support, work/life balance, earning potential, company culture, and the strength of leadership. This year’s Top Franchises for Women list speaks for itself—88% of female owners say they enjoy operating their business, and 3 out of 4 would recommend their franchise to others. That kind of peer validation is invaluable when you’re standing at the threshold of a major life decision.”
Fibrenew’s survey data also showed the following satisfaction levels from Franchise Partners:
- 84% with Training and Support
- 87% with Products and Services
- 85% with Innovation
- 86% with Team Culture
- 87% with Level of Trust
- 90% with Level of Respect
- 89% with Level of Honesty & Integrity
- 86% with Overall Enjoyment
- 90% of Franchisees Recommend the Business to Others
“It goes without saying that we were very happy to receive this acknowledgement from Franchise Business Review’s report again this year,” says Fibrenew’s President, Jesse Johnstone. “We were even happier and equally humbled to hear the positive feedback directly from our women franchise owners. Fibrenew’s core values are rooted in providing an opportunity for all entrepreneurs, supporting them in growing a solid business, and offering a flexible lifestyle that allows for a family-first schedule. The entire team at Fibrenew Corporate is so glad to hear that those core values are being felt and appreciated throughout our franchise system – and especially amongst our dozens of women owners.”
