COLUMBIA, Md. — Mister Sparky Electric, a residential electrical services franchise under Authority Brands, has been named to Entrepreneur’s 2026 Franchise 500®, ranking No. 235. The brand improved 50 positions from its No. 285 ranking in 2025, underscoring continued momentum within the home services franchise sector.

Now in its 47th year, Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 is one of the most comprehensive franchise rankings, evaluating brands across factors including unit growth, financial strength and stability, brand power, and operational support. Mister Sparky Electric’s upward movement reflects the strength of its established franchise system and the infrastructure in place to support owners as they build and scale their businesses.

“Advancing 50 spots on the Franchise 500 is meaningful because it reflects both the strength of Mister Sparky Electric’s systems and the dedication of our franchisees who bring them to life every day,” said Steve Clemente, President and COO of Trades Brands at Authority Brands. “We’ve built the brand around clear service standards, operational discipline, and tools that help owners run organized, customer-focused electrical businesses in their local markets.”

Mister Sparky Electric began franchising in the early 2000s and expanded nationally after joining Authority Brands, gaining access to centralized technology, training, and operational resources. The brand is built around a simple service promise — arriving on time and prepared to complete the job — supported by standardized processes that guide everything from technician scheduling to customer communication.

“The Franchise 500 ranking is a useful benchmark for prospective owners evaluating long-term systems and support,” Clemente said. “For us, this recognition validates not only the infrastructure we’ve built, but more importantly, the unwavering commitment of our franchisees to maintaining high standards and delivering on our brand promise across the network.”
