Franchise News
The publication has listed the top business ownership opportunities in the food and restaurant segments of the industry by ranking them by costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength and financial strength and stability.
When most people think of franchises, food is the first thing that comes to mind. And according to Entrepreneur, it’s still a major segment in the industry — about a quarter of the 1,000-plus companies that applied for the publication’s annual Franchise 500 were food-based. That’s why Entrepreneur is now naming its top food and restaurant franchises of 2018.
The rankings are based on the score that each company received when it was evaluated for inclusion on the coveted Franchise 500 list. That means that they’ve been ranked based on costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength and financial strength and stability.
Here are the brands that received first in category placements:
Asian Food: L&L Hawaiian Barbecue
Baked Goods: Cinnabon
Chicken: Wingstop Restaurants
Coffee: Dunkin’ Donuts
Frozen Deserts: Culver Franchising System
Full-Service Restaurants: Golden Corral Restaurants
Hamburgers: McDonald’s
Mexican Food: Taco Bell
Miscellaneous Quick Service: Wienerschnitzel
Pizza: Papa John’s International
