Smitty’s is thrilled to announce its recognition as one of the premier franchise opportunities in Canada. Standing out among numerous competitors across various sectors, Smitty’s has proudly secured the no.61 position in the highly regarded Elite Franchise Top 100 Canada (EF100CA) – a title it will carry with pride throughout 2025.

This is the inaugural year for the EF100CA, marking the beginning of a prestigious new benchmark in the Canadian franchising industry. The ranking highlights franchisors based on their growth, franchisee support, and contributions to local communities, setting a new standard for excellence across the sector.

Larry Weinberg, Partner at Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, shared his perspective:
“Canadian franchisors are setting the bar high. Their innovation, adaptability, and focus on sustainable growth demonstrate the strength of our industry. These businesses are leading by example, proving the incredible potential of franchising in Canada.”

Initiatives like the EF100CA are essential for driving innovation and elevating standards across the franchising industry. Competing franchisors dedicate themselves to excellence in pursuit of this coveted recognition.

The awards will culminate in an exclusive celebration on February 26th at The Carlu in Toronto, bringing together Canada’s most dynamic and resilient franchise leaders.
