2023 Best of the Best Ranking - Page 2

We call them the “best of the best”—the franchises that ranked not only in our increasingly competitive Franchise 500 list this year but also at the top of their respective industry categories. The companies on this list show the ever-growing diversity of industries represented in the franchise world, and regardless of category, all are here because of how they scored in the Franchise 500, which evaluates companies based on more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.

Keep in mind, though, that this list is not intended as a recommendation of any particular franchise. The “best” franchise by our calculations may not necessarily be the best fit for your needs, so make sure you do your own research before investing in any opportunity: Read the company’s legal documents, consult with an attorney and an accountant, and talk to current and former franchisees.
