BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Oct. 7, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- American Family Care (AFC), the nation's leading provider of urgent care and accessible primary care, celebrates its ranking in the Franchise Times Top 400 survey — previously known as the Franchise Times Top 200+®. AFC sits at #93 on the newly released ranking of the best-performing franchise system in the country. This is the sixth year in a row AFC ranks as a leading franchise in the respected publication.
"We are thrilled to rank as the leading urgent care franchise in this highly anticipated survey," says Sean Hart, AFC's Vice President of Franchise Sales & Development.
