For its 37th year in a row, <a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Entrepreneur Magazine</a> has revealed their top franchises poised for growth in 2016. <a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Franchise 500</a> issue, which hit shelves this month, is one of the most comprehensive guides to franchises. The prestigious award validates the progress these companies have made in 2015. To be eligible for the Franchise 500, a franchisor must have a minimum of 10 units, with at least one in the United States. All companies, regardless of size, are judged by the same objective criteria, including financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of system, number of years a company has been in business, length of time it has been franchising, startup costs, litigation, percentage of terminations, and financing options. These objective factors are plugged into the magazine&#8217;s exclusive Franchise 500 formula, with each eligible company receiving a cumulative score. The 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores make up the Franchise 500. Below is a list of the 15 brands that stood out to us at 1851 Franchise Magazine: #16: <a href="http://www.sportclipsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sport Clips</a> #24: <a href="http://www.jan-pro.com/franchising/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">JAN-PRO</a> #34: <a href="http://www.dairyqueen.com/us-en/Company/Franchise-With-Us/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dairy Queen</a> #92: <a href="http://www.smoothiekingfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Smoothie King</a> #144: <a href="http://franchise.wbu.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wild Birds</a> #162: <a href="https://franchise.twomenandatruck.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">TWO MEN AND A TRUCK*</a> #186: <a href="http://advantaclean.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">AdvantaClean</a> #231: <a href="http://miraclemethodfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Miracle Method</a> #251: <a href="http://checkersfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Checkers</a> #266: <a href="http://christianbrothersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Christian Brothers Automotive</a> #281: <a href="http://wirelesszonefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wireless Zone</a> #320: <a href="http://saladworksfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Saladworks</a> #337: <a href="http://www.toppersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371#intro" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Toppers Pizza</a> #362: <a href="http://www.outdoorlightingfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Outdoor Lighting Perspectives</a> #391: <a href="http://franchise.yourpie.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Your Pie</a> <a href="http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=entrepreneur-magazine-reveals-their-top-franchises-for-2016-3371" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Click here to read the full list.</a>
