Franchise Business Review (Feb 2015) – Consistent annual placement as a top franchise in Franchise Business Review’s Top Franchises list, demonstrates reliable performance.

Franchise Business Review held a People’s Choice contest inviting people to choose which of the 10 new Hall of Fame inductees should be crowned the “best”. Our Town America won! “We work hard to excel in every aspect of our business,” says Michael Plummer Jr., President of Our Town America. “While we’ve been around for over 40 years, we’re constantly evolving. Our franchise family, our system and our unique new mover program have come a long ways since our first FBR Top Franchise award in 2005.” Plummer was crowned “People’s Choice” and given a crown and scepter by Franchise Business Review during the International Franchise Association’s recent annual conference. “It has been a pleasure to work with the corporate teams of the Hall of Famers over the past decade. They are focused on the success and happiness of their franchisees and constantly look for ways to be better each year they participate,” says Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review. “Their consistent placement on our Top Franchises list is proof that their franchisees are among the most satisfied in the country.” Our Town America has had the same two-fold mission for over 43 years: 1) to help new movers adjust and feel welcomed into their community by recommending local reputable businesses, and 2) to help local business sponsors reach a new audience of new movers every month, resulting in new loyal and long-term customers every month.
