Get A Grip now ranks #316, moving up from #393. In addition, the company ranks #2 in its industry category of resurfacing. The magazine also puts Get A Grip at #65 for low-cost franchises (up from #87), #18 for top new franchises (up from #33) and #97 in home-based companies, a new ranking this year.

"Though this last year was a tough one for all industries, Get A Grip's patented resurfacing products and techniques, low start up costs and franchise fee, and the general trend toward resurfacing rather than replacement, kept our momentum going," says Sharon Dillard, CEO of Get A Grip, Inc. "No matter a consumer's financial situation, resurfacing still makes more sense than replacement, so we think we'll see growth in 2012."

Get A Grip franchises offer a home-based opportunity with low start up costs and franchise fee. The company's network of 30 franchises and dealers in 17 states around the country resurfaces laminate or cultured marble countertops with our Eurostone® design, repairs cracked fiberglass bathtubs, scratched or stained porcelain bathtubs, tile showers and enclosures.
