ANN ARBOR, Mich. // FranchiseMarketingSolutions.com // Jan. 16, 2024 – Six BELFOR Franchise Group brands have been recognized as top franchises in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking.

The 2024 Franchise 500® ranks 1-800 WATER DAMAGE, Blue Kangaroo Packoutz, Chem-Dry, redbox+ Dumpsters, The Patch Boys, and Z PLUMBERZ for their outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.

“The Franchise 500® has been the industry’s most trusted source for decades, so it’s an honor to see these BELFOR Franchise Group brands included in this year’s ranking,” said Doug Smith, BELFOR Franchise Group’s senior vice president of franchise development. “We provide each brand powerful franchise systems and support that allow them to inspire passion and drive in their franchisees. Combining the industry’s leading tools and resources with the right vision and people has been the foundation of our success.”

For 45 years, the annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500® has been a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry and recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees.

“Every brand on the Franchise 500 has its own unique story, but they all collectively make the same statement: Franchising is strong and resilient, is full of innovation and opportunity, and provides a powerful entrepreneurial path for many people,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “Our 45th annual ranking is full of companies with fresh ideas, exciting business models, cultural sway, and the kind of business sophistication that will define the next 45 years and beyond.”

In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The editorial team researches and assesses several factors, including costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is then given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranked order.

Over its 45 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees. The rankings for each of BELFOR’s brands are a testament to their strength as franchise opportunities.
