BLUE BELL, Pa. — Griswold is kicking off 2026 with recognition from two well-known names in franchising: Entrepreneur and Franchise Business Review. The non-medical in-home care brand with more than 40 years of experience supporting families across the United States was named to Entrepreneur’s 2026 Franchise 500 and also earned several honors from Franchise Business Review.

Griswold’s placement on the 2026 Franchise 500 reflects the brand’s continued momentum over the past several years. Published annually by Entrepreneur, the ranking evaluates franchise systems across areas such as growth, financial strength, and overall performance.

“We’d like to thank everyone who has contributed, from the Home Office team to our entire nationwide franchise network and everyone in between,” the company said in a statement announcing the recognition.

In addition to the Entrepreneur ranking, Griswold has also been named a 2026 Top Franchise by Franchise Business Review, an honor based entirely on feedback from franchise owners. The award recognizes franchisors that deliver strong support, effective leadership, and meaningful financial opportunities for their franchisees.

Franchise Business Review also recognized Griswold with five additional awards based on feedback from more than 30,000 franchise owners nationwide, further reinforcing the strength of its system and franchisee experience. These honors include:

“As we reflect on our growth, we are proud to celebrate Griswold being recognized with five awards from Franchise Business Review,” COO Steven Turner said. “Each award reflects the hard work, passion and commitment of our owners and staff that make Griswold stand out. We are grateful for our network and excited for what’s ahead in 2026.”

The awards underscore what has helped Griswold keep growing: a support structure for franchisees, a culture rooted in care, and owners who are deeply connected to the communities they serve.
