Miracle-Ear®, the nation’s leading hearing solutions provider, has once again been identified as a top 25 World-Class Franchise by the Franchise Research Institute. This recognition follows their recent World-Class Franchise® certification from the Franchise Research Institute® and FranSurvey®.

The Franchise Research Institute’s list of 25 World-Class Franchises is based upon the results of independent, third party research of each organization’s franchise owners. Through confidentially surveying entrepreneurs, the Franchise Research Institute is able to obtain honest feedback to measure the excellence of the franchisor.

“There are a number of ‘Best Franchise’ lists published each year, but we recognize excellence by asking current franchises to rate their experience as franchise owners, using solid, scientific research methodology,” said Jeff Johnson, founder and CEO of the Franchise Research Institute.

Franchises in the 25 World-Class Franchise ranking had many notable similarities, according to Johnson. Some of these similarities include: offering an acceptable ROI for the franchisor and franchisee, providing ongoing training and support to the franchise system, and setting realistic benchmark expectations and consistently meeting or exceeding these expectations.

“It is an honor to be included as a top franchise among these other prominent organizations,” said Diana Beaufils, Senior Vice-President of Miracle-Ear. “This distinction demonstrates our competitiveness within the market and makes me optimistic about the future.”

With more than 60 years of experience, Miracle-Ear has evolved into the nation’s No. 1 hearing aid retailer. The company leverages the latest advances in communications technology, including wireless and digital technology, to improve the quality of life for the hearing impaired. With over 1,200 locations nationwide, Miracle-Ear is available throughout the United States to service hearing needs.

“As a company, we will continue to dedicate our time and energy towards strengthening our Miracle-Ear franchise system, as well as providing the support and training our franchisees need to grow their business,” said Beaufils.
