IRVINE, Calif. — Comfort Keepers®, the 600-plus-unit in-home care franchise, started 2026 with strong growth after opening three new territories, awarding six more, and receiving recognition from Entrepreneur and Franchise Business Review as one of the top franchises in the industry.
“This quarter shows the steady, deliberate growth that we have built into the Comfort Keepers system,” said Scott Oaks, vice president of franchise development. “We welcomed new owners in Frisco, Texas; and Palm Harbor and Clearwater, Florida; and celebrated expansion with current owners in Lincoln, Nebraska; East Calgary, Alberta; and Biloxi, Mississippi. In addition to continued footprint growth, we were honored to be recognized by both Entrepreneur and Franchise Business Review.”
In 2026, Comfort Keepers earned spots on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500, Top Franchises for Less Than $150,000 and Fastest-Growing Franchises lists. The brand was also recognized by Franchise Business Review, which named it a 2026 Top Franchise for Women, based entirely on the feedback and satisfaction of Comfort Keepers owners.
“These rankings are highly competitive and based on independent data; earning a spot within them is a testament to the strength of the Comfort Keepers system,” Oaks said. “As we continue to expand, we work hard to maintain a model that supports owners’ success while empowering them to make real change in their communities, and these awards only further validate those efforts.”
As the population ages and demand for senior care continues to grow, Comfort Keepers represents a standout opportunity for franchisees looking to break into an industry with purpose. By prioritizing a people-driven approach alongside top-tier caregiving, Comfort Keepers builds stronger relationships, supports franchisees in hiring and retention, and ultimately delivers even better care.
While Comfort Keepers has over 600 operating territories nationwide and another 40-plus in Canada, the leadership team is still looking toward strategic expansion. This year, they expect to award between 30 and 40 more franchise agreements for underserved markets across the country, and there is still growth potential remaining in major markets nationwide.
