Ripley’s Win International Award – Two Years in a Row!

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Odditorium in Cavendish, PEI has won the Franchise of the Year Award for the second year in a row from Ripley Entertainment Inc. in a recent award ceremony held in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The Franchise of the Year Award is awarded to a franchise with outstanding business performance, including financial performance, superior guest service and secret shopper scores. It also recognizes their ongoing commitment to capital improvements.

This is the first time that the award has been given to the same location two years in a row.

“Needless to say, we were honoured to be recognized once again,” says Matthew Jelley, President of Maritime Fun Group. “It is very humbling to have the efforts of our staff and management recognized in this way.”

The awards ceremony took place at RipCon, Ripley Entertainment’s annual convention, in Scottsdale, Arizona on October 19, 2018. Ripley Entertainment includes over 100 attractions, including 30 Believe It or Not! Odditoriums in 11 countries worldwide.
