Pacifica Local has received national recognition after being named one of the UK’s top franchise opportunities in the 2026 Elite Franchise Top 100 (EF100), proudly ranking at no. 94. The companies first entrance into the esteemed EF100 ranking, after only launching as a franchisor this summer.
The accolade highlights Pacifica Local’s immediate success, strong leadership and unwavering support for its newly established, growing franchise network – already at 26-strong.
Built on partnership and driven by purpose, Pacifica Local delivers a franchise model that works in the real world: low start-up costs, strong earning potential and guaranteed day-one work. Championing repair over replace, it empowers ambitious entrepreneurs to build a meaningful business that makes life easier for customers every single day.
For Lee Garland, Head of Franchising at Pacifica Local, the ranking solidifies the impressive groundwork the franchise has undertaken so far, he said, “Securing a place in the EF100 on our very first entry is a fantastic achievement for everyone associated with Pacifica Local.
“Our franchise model is still new yet already making a big impact – proof of the strength of our concept and the passion of our franchise partners. This recognition fuels our ambition and confirms we’re on the right track to building something truly special.”
Now in its ninth year, the EF100, sponsored by HSBC UK, shines a spotlight on the most innovative, impactful and successful franchises across the country. Each business is scored against a range of criteria, including growth, innovation, franchisee satisfaction and contribution to local communities, meaning Pacifica Local’s debut ranking is a standout moment, showcasing just how quickly the new franchise has made its mark in a highly competitive field.
Anita Roberts, Franchise Director at HSBC UK, commented: “Once again, the standard of the entries highlights how dynamic and determined UK franchising continues to be. The adaptability and innovation shown by brands in challenging conditions are truly impressive.”
