Express Employment Professionals, the full-service staffing franchise with over 860 units, concluded 2024 on a high note, showcasing resilience and growth despite broader economic challenges. Over the past year, the franchise awarded 14 brand-new territories and facilitated 34 resales, marking another successful year of franchise development.

“I’m very confident that the fact we awarded 48 resale and new territories this year is a significant achievement,” said Melissa Davis, Managing Director Of Franchising. “This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy given the economic headwinds and challenges the entire franchising industry has faced. Additionally, we saw six expansions this year, where existing owners chose to grow their footprint with multi-unit ownership — a testament to the strength and opportunity within our model.”

Express Employment Professionals welcomed new leadership at the corporate level, with Vinny Provenzano promoted to Senior Vice President of Global Franchising. In this role, Provenzano oversees domestic and international franchise development, reinforcing the brand’s global ambitions and commitment to supporting its franchise owners.

With over 100 available territories across North America, Express Employment Professionals continues to attract entrepreneurs with a passion for helping others and a talent for sales. The average Express office generates $6.4 million in gross revenue, offering franchise owners a lucrative opportunity in the $212 billion staffing industry.

“Our ideal franchise owner is someone who is fully committed to being a hands-on, full-time operator, actively involved in the business every day,” said Davis. “They should have a strong inclination toward sales — whether through prior experience or a natural aptitude — and enjoy working with people, building relationships and driving results. We’re looking for ambitious individuals who have experience leading, managing and growing teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.”

Express is poised for even greater success in 2025, targeting expansion in key markets such as Ontario, California, North Carolina, Texas and Pennsylvania. With ample opportunities nationwide, the franchise is committed to connecting job seekers with meaningful employment and supporting businesses in need of staffing solutions.

“We had a really strong year development wise and we do expect even more growth in 2025,” said Davis.
