Sunshine Grounds Care was honoured with a Bronze place finish for the Award of Excellence in the field of Non-Traditional Emerging Franchises by the Canadian Franchise Association (CFA) in an Awards Dinner Ceremony on May 4, 2009.
The CFA has been distributing Awards of Excellence to the very best Canadian franchises since 1992. Only dedicated CFA franchise companies are considered for the distinction. Winners are determined by how well a survey taken by both franchisors and franchisees aligns, measuring the amount of compatibility within the company while also allowing participants to see how their business compares with others across Canada. The award is the most prestigious honour offered by the CFA. As Sunshine was built by ten brothers who continue to run the business today with a focus on customer care, it may come as no surprise that the 22-year old company operates with such synchronization.
“The relationship skills we’ve learned working together as ten brothers have proven to be very helpful in building and maintaining franchise relationships,” said Peter van Stralen, CEO and 2nd oldest brother. “We treat each other as family”
