Top
100 Franchises
Given that there are over 2,300 active North American
franchise systems, it is intimidating for most potential
franchisees to begin their search for a franchise that
fits their particular needs. As the pre-eminent publisher
of nine franchising books, Source Book Publications
provides you with a place to start.
Our staff has broken down the franchising industry
into three major segments:
food-service, retail
and service-based.
A rigorous, in-depth analysis was performed within each
group to arrive at what we feel are the top 100 franchises.
We evaluated companies on the basis of historical performance,
brand equity, market dynamics, franchisee satisfaction,
the level of initial training and on-going support,
financial stability and other key factors.
Each of the Top 100 franchise companies featured here
appeared in the book Bond's
Top 100 Franchises, which was published in
2006. The individual franchise write-ups offered on
this site (accessible through the category links below)
are exact reproductions of the write-ups contained in
those publications. Hence, they may not accurately reflect
current information regarding the franchise opportunities
they describe.
