School of Rock was identified by independent research firm, Franchise Business Review, as a 2025 Top Franchise for Veterans. Only 100 brands were named to the annual list of award winners.
Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides the only ratings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes annual rankings of the top franchises each year, as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.
To identify the companies on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Veterans, Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 2,100 franchise owners representing 365 brands regarding their overall satisfaction with their brands and their likelihood to recommend them to others.
“Veterans exploring franchise ownership have many options to choose from, but it’s not always easy to know which brands truly deliver,” said Eric Stites, founder & CEO of Franchise Business Review. “While many franchises advertise incentives for veterans, what matters most is the experience after the contract is signed. Our independent surveys capture feedback directly from veteran franchise owners, and the brands on this year’s list earned the highest satisfaction ratings from them—making these companies stand out as top choices for veterans ready to transition into business ownership."
School of Rock franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, and financial opportunity.
