February 23, 2006
For prospective business owners looking to purchase a franchise, the number of opportunities can be daunting. In the U.S. alone, there are more than 2,500 franchise brands. A new report from StartupJournal.com, The Wall Street Journal's guide for entrepreneurs, helps make that process a little easier.
The StartupJournal.com report, in partnership with research firm FRANdata — an Arlington, Va.-based
independent franchise information company—identifies 25 high-performing franchise brands that do business in the U.S.
Based on data analyzed by FRANdata, the 25 brands on the list are well established, have experienced leadership, exhibit overall financial health and have a proven record of franchising success. The list is below. The debut of the list kicks off an increased focus on franchising coverage on StartupJournal.com.
More than 320,000 U.S. small businesses are operated as franchises in 75 different industries, employing approximately eight million people. One of every 12 retail business establishments is a franchised business, and sales from franchisees account for 40% of all U.S. retail sales, according to the International Franchise Association.
