September 14, 2009 // Franchising.com // BOSTON, MA - Fantastic Sams, one of the nation's largest full service hair salon brands, has staked its claim as the best of the best, securing its spot on the acclaimed 2009 edition of Bond's Top 100 Franchises.
The Bond's Top 100 Franchises accolade is based on a variety of performance indicators including historical performance, brand identification, franchisee satisfaction, training, on-going support, financial stability and other key variables. With over 3,500 franchises out there, selection is a great honor to those companies selected and should be a significant assist to prospective franchisees as they start their search process.
