Miracle Method, the nation’s largest bathtub, tile and countertop surface refinishing franchise, gained 71 places over their 2009 ranking in the Entrepreneur Magazine Franchise 500 to #256.
Unlike many businesses, Miracle Method saw the downturn in the economy as an opportunity to grow market share and increase its category dominance. Miracle Method increased national advertising, developed new refinishing processes and increased commercial revenue streams promoting services to colleges, universities and hotels.
Miracle Method is set apart in the industry by the use of their proprietary bonding agent, MM-4. Non-acid, MM-4 molecularly bonds the old and new surfaces together, ensuring quality, durability and eliminating the need for dangerous, corrosive etching acids often used by other refinishers. Considered a trade secret, MM-4, provides a competitive advantage and is available only to Miracle Method franchises.
