To be eligible for the list, companies must either be legally franchised and headquartered in the U.S. or have at least 10% of their total locations within the country. In addition, a minimum of 15% of the company’s total units must be franchised.Melting Pot was founded in 1975 in Maitland, Florida, by brothers Mark, Mike and Bob Johnston. Although it began as a single fondue restaurant, it quickly gained popularity for the unique dining experience it offered. The brand began franchising in 1985, expanding its footprint and becoming perhaps one of the best-known names in the fondue dining industry.“Earning this recognition is especially meaningful as we stand alongside some of the largest and most successful franchise brands,” said Johnston. “Melting Pot has become the nation’s favorite fondue franchise, and it’s rewarding to see that a non-traditional brand like ours can compete in this industry. This ranking is a testament to the hard work of our franchise partners, our corporate team and our loyal guests. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and are excited about what we can accomplish in the future.”About Melting PotFounded in 1975, Melting Pot has offered a unique fondue dining experience for more than 45 years.
