Franchise Gator has chosen Physical Therapy Now as a Top Emerging Franchise for 2021. This is the 8th year that the online franchise directory has published a Top Emerging ranking and was created to help identify developing franchises with 50 or fewer units that have shown promising signs of strong growth.

“We’re honored to have been named to Franchise Gator’s list,” said Andy Zapata, owner of Physical Therapy Now. “My goal is to get a Physical Therapy Now location in most every region of Florida because our residents deserve nothing but the best in physical therapy care. And that’s exactly what we provide to everyone who walks through our doors.”

The Physical Therapy Now franchise operation is ranked as the number 25th franchise on the Top Emerging list.  The ranking accompanies Franchise Gator’s Top 100 and Fastest-Growing Franchises list.

“We created this list because we know that many who are interested in a franchise opportunity are seeking to join smaller systems,” said Eric Bell, General Manager at Franchise Gator.  “They are looking for a wave to ride.  We wanted to present them with a list of companies who, according to the information we gathered and their most recent FDD’s, look like they are putting all of the right pieces in place.  

Franchise Gator, one of the leading destinations for those seeking to invest in a franchise opportunity, reviewed 100’s of Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDD’s) to formulate their rankings.  Growth in units, turnover, and financials are just a few of the items taken into consideration.  The staff also takes a look at awards, the Executive team, and participation in the franchise community.

“Congratulations to Andy,” said Bell.  “We expect this to be just one of many accolades to come.”

Zapata appreciatively agrees.

“Operating the Physical Therapy Now franchise is the business that gives back in so many different ways.  It’s an honor. Most importantly, we’re providing exceptional care to our patients. 

He continues, “And then we’re fueling the economy here in the state of Florida with small business ownership, and the same in Texas as well.  Just think… we’re still growing!  Then we get rewarded for it too? It doesn’t get any better than that.”

With dozens of locations now up and running, Physical Therapy Now offers complimentary transportation to its clients. Physical Therapy NOW opened its doors to care for the community on November 12, 2003.
