Consumer demand for quality home services is at an all-time high&mdash;the $31 billion industry is growing at a rapid rate. And for the past decade, <a href="http://www.freshcoatfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fresh-coat-recognized-as-top-business-ownership-opportunity-in-2017-by-entrepreneur-10030" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fresh Coat*</a>&mdash;the nation&rsquo;s leading residential and commercial painting franchise&mdash;has been growing right along with it.

With more than 120 locations across the country, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat/how-fresh-coat-s-proactive-employee-business-model-leads-to-higher-average-gross-revenue-4574" target="_blank">Fresh Coat has positioned itself as a franchise brand to beat.</a> Backed by its bonded and insured painters, rising average unit volumes and easy-to-follow business model, Fresh Coat is capturing the attention of both consumers and business owners. And the franchising industry is taking note&mdash;Fresh Coat took the 469th spot on <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/freshcoat/322808?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=fresh-coat-recognized-as-top-business-ownership-opportunity-in-2017-by-entrepreneur-10030" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Entrepreneur&rsquo;s coveted 2017 Franchise 500 list</a>.

Making the publication&rsquo;s annual franchise ranking is no small feat. The Franchise 500 list has provided the industry with its most comprehensive ranking for the past 38 years. It&rsquo;s designed to be used as a top competitive tool of measurement for both franchisors and prospective franchisees. Fresh Coat earned its spot on this year&rsquo;s list by receiving high marks on five key factors: costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength and financial strength and stability. Brands are then given a cumulative score based on more than 150 points, and the 500 franchises with the highest scores make the list.

&ldquo;We couldn&rsquo;t be more excited or honored to be included in Entrepreneur&rsquo;s esteemed ranking of the top 500 franchises. This goes to show that our team&rsquo;s consistent hard work is paying off,&rdquo; said Tara Riley, president of Fresh Coat. &ldquo;As we head into the rest of 2017, our goal is to continue building on this strong momentum. There&rsquo;s no better way to kick off the new year, and we plan to capitalize on this amazing opportunity for development.&rdquo;

Throughout 2017, Fresh Coat plans to continue its tradition of improving on its already recognized franchise system. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/freshcoat/fresh-coat-painters-introduces-first-ever-director-of-education-to-assist-brand-s-growing-franchise-system-5278" target="_blank">The brand&rsquo;s corporate team is constantly looking for ways to support its local owners </a>while also opening the door for new franchisees to enter its system. Fresh Coat offers those new owners an affordable business ownership opportunity&mdash;franchisees who sign on to develop and grow with the brand can expect their start-up costs to fall between $53,850 and $81,750.

&ldquo;Our main goal is to make business ownership as attainable as possible. We&rsquo;ve proven that our model works time and again all over the country, and our Entrepreneur ranking takes that validation to the next level,&rdquo; said Nathan Millhouse, vice president of operations for Fresh Coat. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re anticipating record growth in 2017, and we&rsquo;re looking forward to growing the Fresh Coat brand with the help of both new and existing franchisees.&rdquo; &nbsp;
