TAMPA, Fla. — Beef ‘O’ Brady’s, the family sports pub franchise, and The Brass Tap, the craft beer bar franchise, have both reentered the Franchise Times 400 list — the most comprehensive ranking of the 400 largest United States-based franchise systems. This year, both FSC Franchise Company restaurant brands moved up on the list, with Beef ‘O’ Brady’s checking in at No. 227 while The Brass Tap moved up to No. 381.
“To see both The Brass Tap and Beef ‘O’ Brady’s not only return to the prestigious Franchise Times Top 400, but climb in the rankings, is a direct reflection of our entire system's hard work and commitment,” said Chris Elliott, CEO of FSC Franchise Company. “This upward momentum is a testament to our dedicated franchisees and our corporate team's continuous focus on strategic innovation and unit-level economics. FSC Franchise Company is building two world-class brands and the industry is taking notice."
Based primarily on global system-wide sales, Franchise Times also utilizes voluntary company reports alongside data from SEC filings and the franchisor’s most recently-filed Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) to compile its list. To qualify, companies must be legally-franchised and based in the U.S. (either headquartered in America or having at least 10% of total units located in the U.S.). with 15% of total units owned by franchisees.
“Climbing the Franchise Times Top 400 is a rewarding affirmation of the operational excellence our franchisees deliver every single day,” Elliott said. “This recognition is more than just a number. It validates the strategic investments FSC Franchise Company has made in innovation, franchisee support and brand strength across both Beef ‘O’ Brady’s and The Brass Tap. Our momentum is strong and we are confident that by continuing to focus on unit-level profitability and customer experience, we will keep achieving new heights in the years to come.”
