Naturhouse climbs 25 places in the Top 100 Global Franchises list
• The company is now ranked 47th in the ranking of the top 100 franchises in the world and becomes the second best Spanish franchise
• Naturhouse’s international presence, with the company registering operations in 29 countries through 2,123 centres at the end of 2015, is behind the group’s success
Barcelona, 10 March 2016.- Naturhouse, the company that specialises in the sale of diet products and dietary re-education, has been selected for the eighth consecutive year as one of the world’s top 100 franchises. The brand’s international leap forward in 2015 was one of the reasons the group has climbed 25 positions to 45th in the Top 100 Global Franchises 2016 list. With this position, Naturhouse becomes the second-ranked Spanish franchise.
The business ranking drawn up by Franchise Direct brings together the one hundred best franchises in the world, which stand out mainly for their international presence. This year, only five Spanish companies are included.
By including the brand, the international franchise portal has recognised the excellence of Naturhouse’s business model. When drawing up the list, the web portal took a series of objective criteria into account including company turnover, growth, stability, the support given to current and future franchisees, environmental policies, social responsibilities and the chain’s size. The ability to innovate and keep up-to-date with changing social and economic conditions was another quality considered. With this, Naturhouse shows once again that its franchise and master franchise model is easily scalable in different countries.
Meanwhile, Naturhouse will once again take part in the Expofranquicia trade fair to be held in Madrid between 21 and 23 April 2016. This is the leading franchise event organised by IFEMA and it will feature a large number of groups from the industry.
Naturhouse ended 2015 having set a new record for the number of establishments, with 2,123 centres in 29 countries, 169 more than at the end of 2014. For 2016, the company hopes to open at least 71 establishments all over the world.
