Five Star Brands Earn National Recognition for Franchise Culture Excellence

Card My Yard, Five Star Bath Solutions named to Franchise Business Review's Culture 100 for outstanding franchise owner satisfaction

SPRINGVILLE, Utah, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Five Star Franchising, a growing platform of home service franchise brands, has announced that two of its brands, Five Star Bath Solutions and Card My Yard, have been named to Franchise Business Review's "Culture 100" list.

The "Culture 100" is based solely on actual franchise owner satisfaction and performance. Franchise owners were asked 33 benchmark questions about their experience in critical areas of their franchise systems.

"Culture isn't a talking point for us — it's what drives owner performance," said Scott Abbott, CEO and Co-founder of Five Star Franchising. "What makes this recognition meaningful is that it comes directly from these brands' franchise owners. When the people running these businesses every day tell you they feel supported and positioned to grow, that's the clearest signal that the systems are working. Five Star Bath Solutions and Card My Yard have earned that trust, and it shows up in how they operate and how they scale."

Card My Yard and Five Star Bath Solutions were among more than 330 franchise brands representing over 29,000 franchise owners that participated in Franchise Business Review's research. The brands that were selected for the "Culture 100" received the highest overall ratings based on 17 unique areas that contribute to a strong company culture, including leadership, core values, franchisee community and engagement.

"Culture fit is one of the most critical, and most elusive, factors in a franchise investment decision," said Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review. "At Franchise Business Review, we survey thousands of current franchise owners to understand how they truly feel about the brand they've invested in. Our data measures the indicators that matter most to a thriving franchise culture: whether franchisees feel genuinely supported by their franchisor, and how effectively franchise teams and support staff collaborate to achieve shared goals."

This distinction is the latest in a strong run of recognition for both brands in 2026. Card My Yard has been named to Franchise Business Review's Top 200, Top Franchises for Women, and Top Low-Cost Franchises lists, and was also recognized as a Top Low-Cost Franchise by Entrepreneur. Five Star Bath Solutions earned a spot on the FBR Top 200 list, ranked No. 123 in the 2026 Entrepreneur Franchise 500, No. 19 on Entrepreneur's Fastest-Growing Franchises list, and was named the No. 1 Kitchen & Bath Remodeling franchise in 2026.
