The magazine also ranks Get A Grip #97 in home-based companies, a new ranking this year.

"We're thrilled to move up so high on the New Franchises list, especially since we only started offering franchises in 2007. We've kept our momentum going though our patented resurfacing products and techniques, low start up costs and franchise fee, and the general trend toward resurfacing rather than replacement," says Sharon Dillard, CEO of Get A Grip, Inc. "These factors make a big difference to the entrepreneur looking for a good franchise business opportunity, so we think we'll see growth in 2012."

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. Get A Grip's Get A Metallic™ creates spectacular results for countertops.
