RICHMOND, Va. – March 31, 2025 – Empower Brands, a world-class franchising portfolio consisting of industry-leading residential and commercial service providers, announced today that two of its brands, Conserva Irrigation and JAN-PRO Systems International, have earned spots on Franchise Business Review’s (FBR) 2025 Top Franchises for Women. Only 100 brands were chosen for the award.

“What a great way to celebrate Women’s History Month,” said Empower Brands CEO Scott Zide. “We are so proud of Conserva Irrigation and JAN-PRO’s commitment to inclusion and ability to attract outstanding females into the franchising world. And these awards are made even more important because it’s the franchisees’ satisfaction that determines whether a franchisor makes this list.”

Its brands include Archadeck Outdoor Living, Bumble Roofing, Canopy Lawn Care, Conserva Irrigation, FRSTeam, Jan Pro Systems International, Koala Insulation, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Superior Fence & Rail, and Wallaby Windows.

Conserva Irrigation is headed by Brand President Heather Toddy, and JAN-PRO is led by Brand President Gary Bauer.

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 its rankings of top franchises semi-annually in its Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.

Conserva Irrigation and JAN-PRO were among 350 franchise brands, representing nearly 9,000 female franchise owners, that participated in Franchise Business Review’s research on the Top Franchises for Women. Both Empower Brands franchises were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training & support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.

“Franchising is a fantastic option for women seeking business ownership on a full- or part-time basis,” FBR President and COO Michelle Rowan said. “With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it’s critical to do in-depth research to understand how satisfied current female franchise owners are with the training and support, work/life balance, financial opportunity, culture, and leadership of any brand they’re considering before making an investment. When you look at the brands on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Women, 88% of women said they enjoy being part of their franchise organizations, and three of four said they would recommend their franchise to others—powerful feedback for women considering the transition to business ownership.”
