Kitchen Solvers – Just One of 50 Companies Named a 2025 Top Low-Cost Franchise by Franchise Business Review
Independent Research Data Shows Franchisees Are Highly Satisfied with Their Investment in Kitchen Solvers
La Crosse, WI, April 28, 2025 – Kitchen Solvers was identified by independent franchise research firm, Franchise Business Review, as a 2025 Top Low-Cost Franchise.
Kitchen Solvers is a renowned franchise specializing in innovative kitchen remodeling and cabinet refacing solutions. With a commitment to transforming kitchens into functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces, Kitchen Solvers has become a trusted name in the home improvement industry.
Franchise Business Review (FBR), 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.
More than 12,000 franchisees representing 125 low-cost brands participated in Franchise Business Review’s franchisee satisfaction survey over 18 months. The brands that were named to the list of the best low-cost franchises to buy had to have high franchisee satisfaction and an investment of under $100,000 at the time their franchisees participated in FBR’s satisfaction survey.
Kitchen Solvers’ franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, culture, and financial opportunity.
“It’s a common misconception that buying a franchise is too expensive for the average person seeking to start a business. What many people don’t know is that there are very solid franchise opportunities that provide the satisfaction and perks of business ownership but don’t require a huge financial investment,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “Approximately one-third of the award-winning brands on our list of the Top Low-Cost Franchises have initial investments starting under $75K. With financing, many can be started for as little as $20K, with a few options starting under $15K. More importantly, these 50 franchises have average owner satisfaction 20% higher than our industry benchmark, making them all excellent options for anyone considering franchise ownership.”
Kitchen Solvers’ survey data showed the following:
Kitchen Solvers had an overall Franchise Satisfaction score of 77, well above the benchmark of all franchises, which was 68. Some of the highest-rated areas were:
• Support: 92 (benchmark was 80)
• Honesty & Integrity: 90 (benchmark was 75)
• Respect: 90 (benchmark was 77)
• Cares about my success: 88 (benchmark was 72)
Kitchen Solvers has intentionally structured its franchise model as a low-cost option to help entrepreneurs enter the kitchen remodeling industry with the support they need and a lower financial barrier. Kali Morgenthaler, Chief Growth Officer for Kitchen Solvers, explains, “Keeping the investment cost low is a key priority for us—not just to stay competitive in the franchise market, but to ensure we’re giving our franchisees the strongest chance for financial success and stability. During training, we guide new owners through a detailed breakeven analysis and a full franchise vision plan, helping them understand cash flow and operational efficiencies. It’s critical for new business owners to maximize their investment for the highest possible return, and we support that through our strategic partnerships, close financial monitoring, and focus on building lean, efficient businesses. Additionally, many of our franchisees start by operating from their homes instead of investing heavily in a showroom, which allows them to ramp up faster, achieve profitability sooner, and grow strategically over time.”
