Pita Pit <a href="http://www.pitapitusa.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pita Pit</a> emerged on the scene in Kingston, Ontario, in 1995, practically introducing the world to the concept of fresh, healthy fast food. They entered the U.S. in 1999 and celebrated their 20th anniversary on July 20, 2015. Longevity isn&#8217;t the only reason to keep an eye out for this brand. Pita Pit has stayed true to its original concept and has continued to grow, with over 550 locations in 11 countries and showing no signs of slowing. The brand uses social media incredibly well by engaging fans, responding to questions and complaints and running campaigns that capitalize on current events and holidays. Pita Pit also attracts young professionals as franchisees, which many other brands shy away from, and groom them to eventually become multi-unit powerhouses. With 20 years under its belt, Pita Pit is here for the next 20 and beyond. Subway Subway was the original worldwide sub franchise and no other restaurant has come close to beating it. With almost 44,000 locations in 110 countries, Subway is the largest single-brand restaurant chain in the world. Serving customizable subs&#8212;and more recently breakfast sandwiches&#8212;with fresh ingredients has worked. Subway distinguished itself from dime-a-dozen hamburger chains to offer a fresh and fast option that is now available in every airport, at gas stations and just about every street corner. Checkers/Rally&#8217;s Known as Checkers in some areas and Rally&#8217;s in others, this brand is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. If there is an established brand to laud for its resilience,<a href="http://checkersfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Checkers/Rally&#8217;s</a> is it. Through leadership changes Checkers and hard times in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the brand powered through and came back with a stronger team and brand. Today, Checkers boasts over 800 locations nationwide and counting. The chain&#8217;s French fries recently beat out McDonald&#8217;s, Burger King and more to earn the title of &#8220;Best Fast Food French Fries&#8221; in a Yahoo! study. The drive-thru concept, all-American d&#233;cor, familial friendliness and delicious food has kept customers coming back in good times and bad for decades. Taco Bell Taco Bell has been on the scene since 1962 and continues to be a giant in the franchise industry with 6,500 locations over 2 billion customers annually. How does the Bell keep from getting stale to customers? They continue to adapt and innovate. From switching up their value menu to establishing partnerships with Dorito&#8217;s to repurposing existing menu items, Taco Bell stays relevant by embracing change. Recently, the chain announced that it will be testing a delivery service, making its items fast, accessible and easy food perfect for an increasingly time-constrained population. Taco Bell has even obtained a liquor license for a Chicago location. Taco Bell will be around for many years to come as long as this innovation and creativity continue. TWO MEN AND A TRUCK&#174; The Movers Who Care &#8482; have been around for thirty years and have grown from its home-base in Lansing, Mich., to over 200 locations across 32 states. <a href="http://www.twomenandatruckfranchising.com/home?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">TWO MEN AND A TRUCK&#174; </a>has built a huge network of franchises nationwide by providing superior customer service and quality care while providing growth opportunities for operators and franchisees alike. Domino&#8217;s Domino&#8217;s Pizza has been one of the major pizza franchises for decades along with Pizza Hut, Papa John&#8217;s (also on this list) and Little Caesars. So why has Domino&#8217; recently pulled ahead of the pack? The brand&#8217;s stock is chugging up, investors are happy and brand image is sharper than ever. So what&#8217;s the secret? A few years ago Domino&#8217;s wasn&#8217;t doing so well. Complaints about ingredient quality, cleanliness and general restaurant conditions flurried in. Instead of being defensive, making excuses or trying to change customers&#8217; minds, Domino&#8217;s did something that most industry giants just wouldn&#8217;t: Admitting that the customers were right. So Domino&#8217;s reworked its sauce recipe, started using higher quality ingredients and let every customer know that their input was important. And it worked. Marriott With over 4,000 properties in 80 countries managed by the brand, Marriott is more than a hotel giant&#8212;it&#8217;s a hospitality Goliath. Corporate-owned locations and franchising opportunities represent 18 brands and range in services and budget, making Marriott one of the most recognizable hotel brands in the world. Pirtek You may have heard the name <a href="http://www.pirtekusa.com/franchise.asp?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pirtek</a>, but do you know what the brand does? You may associate the name with a British racing team, or maybe a multi-purpose stadium in New South Wales, Australia. But Pirtek isn&#8217;t just sponsorship and naming rights deals; it is actually an on-site hydraulic hose repair and replacement service with over 440 locations worldwide. The brand is rapidly expanding in the U.S. as of late, with great growth potential as a new brand in a large, unsaturated market. The brand&#8217;s convenience and expertise sets Pirtek apart from competitors. Jimmy John&#8217;s Competing against several other sub franchises, Jimmy John&#8217;s sets itself apart with &#8220;Freaky Fast Delivery.&#8221; With over 2,000 locations worldwide, the model must be working. The brand touts in-house baked bread and fresh ingredients; paired with fast delivery, it&#8217;s a recipe for success. So successful, in fact, that the company is supposedly preparing to go public. Which Wich <a href="http://www.whichwichfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Which Wich</a> CEO, or &#8220;Chief Vibe Officer&#8221; if you prefer, Jeff Sinelli wasn&#8217;t a stranger to creating successful franchise concepts when he started Which Wich. He had guided his first brand, Genghis Grill, to great success but wanted to pursue something new. That&#8217;s when the idea for Which Wich was born. &#8220;My vision was to build a brand that focused on superior quality and superior service, and I believe that we have achieved that,&#8221; Sinelli said. &#8220;And we&#8217;ll always hustle to keep those standards high.&#8221; With over 350 locations worldwide since its inception in 2003, Which Wich&#8217;s unique ordering system and high quality products have continued to drive the brand&#8217;s rapid expansion. Re/Max With over 7,000 offices and 100,000 sales associates, it&#8217;s safe to say that no matter where in the world you move, there is probably a Re/Max agent there waiting to sell you a home. The Re/Max business model is simple and has worked for over 40 years. Offering corporate structure and support to the best and brightest relators, Re/Max&#8217;s business model is a surefire one. Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings Founded in the mid-&#8216;80s, <a href="http://ownabuffalo.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings</a> is not to be compared to its similarly named competitor. BWR offers a community-based and family friendly environment, not a dark and dingy sports bar. The brand targets family-oriented communities, and its products and atmosphere reflect that. With 45 locations in the U.S. and 10 more worldwide, rapid expansion is on the menu at BWR. In-N-Out An old school vibe, simple burger shop fare and a secret menu are only part of what makes In-N-Out a brand to watch. While In-N-Out hasn&#8217;t fully franchised yet domestically, Internationally they are entertaining discussions.&nbsp;What really makes the West Coast-based company special is the feeling of exclusivity the brand creates for customers. Though the brand boasts over 300 locations, In-N-Out is only available in five states: California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas and Utah. In-N-Out has expanded slowly, creating anticipation and establishing a reputation nationwide. 7-Eleven If there ever was a company that had worldwide name recognition that could compete with McDonald&#8217;s, it&#8217;s 7-Eleven. Nearly 90 years after its founding, 7-Eleven is by far the largest convenience store chain in the world, clocking in at over 55,000 locations. Offering household items and groceries, friendly service and late&#8212;sometimes 24/7&#8212;hours, 7-Eleven is an easy brand to forget to watch because it has always been there. JAN-PRO <a href="http://www.jan-pro.com/franchising/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">JAN-PRO</a>, a commercial cleaning franchise with over 8,000 active units worldwide, may not be the company you&#8217;d lump in with franchise brands, but this company has a solid business model with low overhead cost and an accessible franchisee program. Great Clips There will never be a lack of need for a quick haircut. In fact, an affordable haircut at a salon with convenient hours is always in high demand. <a href="http://greatclips.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Great Clips</a> has capitalized on that demand, along with many hair stylists&#8217; goals of owning their own salon, by making salon ownership more accessible than ever. There are over 3,700 independently owned Great Clips in the U.S., giving entrepreneurial stylists their own business and customers the quick, reliable and affordable services they need. Beef O&#8217;Brady&#8217;s When <a href="http://www.beefobradysfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Beef O&#8217;Brady&#8217;s</a> emerged on the scene in Brandon, Fla., the concept was simple and solid&#8212;a family-oriented Irish pub serving no hard liquor. So how has this concept stayed fresh 30 years later? Because pub food and affordable, family- friendly restaurants have time and time again stood the test of time. Don&#8217;t think nothing has changed since the first Beef&#8217;s opened its doors, though. Beef O&#8217;Brady&#8217;s is adapting to changing food trends and culture by acquiring more brands and creating new concepts. The brand recently purchased the Brass Tap, an upscale craft beer, wine and cigar bar franchise that is rapidly growing in the Southeast and beyond. Beef&#8217;s will also be introducing a new concept in the fall called Beef&#8217;s Express in response to the fast casual trend in the restaurant industry. Chik Fil-a Chik Fil-a is an example of a brand that&#8212;despite public relations issues&#8212;has stuck to its guns and remained true to its concept through and through. With deeply religious views, it would&#8217;ve been very easy for Chik Fil-a to be forgotten along with many other polarizing brands, but the chain has never wavered. Papa John&#8217;s Papa John&#8217;s is another one of the pizza giants that refuses to waver. With the motto &#8220;Better Ingredients. Better Pizza,&#8221; there&#8217;s a lot to live up to in customers&#8217; eyes. Recently, Papa John&#8217;s announced that the brand will spend $100 million dollars <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-06-23/papa-john-s-is-spending-100-million-a-year-to-clean-up-its-menu?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">ridding its products of artificial ingredients</a>. The pizza slingers are also introducing a &#8220;Lighter Choices&#8221; menu. This commitment to quality is reflected by the brand&#8217;s rising stock and satisfied customers. Jamba Juice The dominating smoothie franchise on the market, Jamba Juice, boasts over 800 locations worldwide. With a menu that offers fresh fruit smoothies, meal replacements, juices and even small meal selections for breakfast and lunch, Jamba Juice sets itself a part from comparable franchises with cross-branding. Jamba Juice knows how to target its audience by branding campaigns with professional athletes, exercise class apps like &#8220;Class Pass,&#8221; and now JJ will <a href="http://nrn.com/advertising/jamba-juice-bruegger-s-bagels-open-co-branded-units?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">open nine co-branded stores with Bruegger&#8217;s Bagels</a>. Right at Home 20 years ago, hospital administrator Allen Hager noticed an alarming trend of senior citizens returning to the hospital due to inadequate in-home care. Following these observations he founded <a href="http://www.rightathomefranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Right at Home</a>, a franchise offering in-home care to seniors, allowing them to remain comfortable and cared for without moving to an assisted living center. Today, Right at Home boasts over 400 locations worldwide and ample growth potential among the aging baby boomer population. Hilton With twelve hotel brands ranging from the pricey Waldorf Astoria to the affordable Hampton Inn, Hilton brand hotels offer an option for anyone and everyone. Hampton was actually recently named the number one in Entrepreneur&#8217;s &#8220;2015 Top Franchise Opportunities.&#8221; High startup costs scare some away, but the investment can be well worth it with a good location and commitment to customer service. GNC GNC is a great example of a anticipating a void in the market and becoming a champion of the industry. Far ahead of its time, GNC was conceived in 1935 before health food and supplements prominently existed. Now the business gets to reap the rewards of brand recognition as the world becomes increasingly health-conscious. The brand has 5,000 stores&#8212;with over 950 of them being franchise locations&#8212;that sell vitamins, weight loss and nutrition supplements and exercise aids. Hertz Hertz (also operating Dollar, Firefly, and Thrifty car rentals) is the king of rental cars. Around for nearly a century, Hertz basically invented the car rental concept and has continued to grow along with the industry. Today, Hertz stakes over 1,700 locations in the U.S. and 1,300 more worldwide. Philly Pretzel Factory Recent growth has indicated that<a href="http://ownappf.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=25-established-franchise-brands-to-watch-2162" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Philly Pretzel Factory</a> may just have mastered pretzel game. With over 12 percent sales growth since last year and over 160 locations, Philly Pretzel Factory is absolutely doing something right. While the brand is mainly situated on the East Coast, it is spreading as customers spread the gospel of quality products and excitement mounts around promotions like National Pretzel Day (which has subsequently turned into their third highest grossing sales day.). This year, the brand added another holiday to its calendar: National Hot Dog Day.

READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Buying a resale franchise within the&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> system can offer a practical way to enter the in-home care industry. Instead of launching a new office from the ground up, resale buyers step into an established location that already has caregivers, clients and day-to-day processes in place. That structure allows new owners to focus on learning the business and building relationships while continuing to serve the community.From the brand’s perspective, resale opportunities are designed to give new owners a head start while preserving what has already been built.“It’s a way for entrepreneurs to purchase something that is already well established,” said Angela Young, Director of Resales for&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a>. “They can benefit from the relationships with clients, caregivers and referral partners that are already in place and step in to take the business to new heights.”Resale opportunities can be especially appealing to entrepreneurs who want to grow an existing operation rather than start from scratch.&nbsp;<a href="http://linkedin.com/in/erica-celeste-carlisle">Erica Carlisle</a> took that path when she purchased a Right at Home resale location in the San Francisco Bay Area.“I was planning to acquire an existing business. I wasn’t looking to do a startup,” Carlisle said. “It seemed like a better fit with my background, skills and experience, which have been more along the lines of building companies and scaling them up.”<h2>An Existing Client Base and Team</h2>Buying a resale location also means stepping into a business that already has staff in place and clients who are actively receiving care. That can make the transition smoother for families and give the new owner a better sense of how the operation runs day to day.In the early weeks after taking over the business, franchisees can focus on getting to know the people connected to the office.“It’s a completely different thing than trying to start up from scratch,” Carlisle said. “Your days are filled with trying to get to know the caregivers, get to know the clients and their families and the existing office team.”Spending time with clients and caregivers helped her quickly learn the rhythm of the business while maintaining relationships already established within the community. That continuity also extends beyond daily operations.“They’ve already set up processes in the office and built strong teams,” Young said. “It’s very advantageous to retain that staff and step into a business where people are already doing the job.”<h2>A Smooth Transition Between Owners</h2>The transition often includes a brief period where the previous owner works alongside the new franchisee. That time allows the new owner to learn the systems and routines that keep the business running day to day.“For the first few weeks, the seller and I worked side by side so he could teach me critical things like how to run payroll and the processes that need to keep going with no errors,” Carlisle said.That hands-on transition helped her understand the day-to-day responsibilities involved in operating the office. The transition is also supported at the system level to help ensure stability for both clients and staff.“The owners have put a lot of time and effort into this, and they really care about their clients and the people who work in their communities,” Young said.&nbsp;<h2>Established Processes Help Owners Learn Faster</h2>A resale franchise also comes with systems that are already functioning. Recruiting, scheduling, payroll and billing processes are typically in place before the new owner arrives.&nbsp;The office team already understands those workflows, which can make the learning process easier for a new franchisee.“Most of the core processes the team knew how to do,” Carlisle said. “You have to rely on the team for a while to say ‘OK, you're going to do it to that point, and then I'm going to do this piece.’”That collaboration allowed her to gradually learn each step involved in hiring caregivers, managing schedules and handling administrative responsibilities.<h2>Training, Coaching and a Strong Franchise Network</h2>Even though resale buyers are stepping into an existing business, they still receive the same support offered to new franchisees across the Right at Home system. That support includes formal training, coaching and ongoing guidance from the franchisor.New owners attend a week-long training program at the company’s headquarters in Omaha. Franchisees also work with a coach who meets with them frequently in the early stages of ownership. Even for resale buyers, the onboarding process mirrors what new franchisees experience across the system.“If you’re new to the system, you still go through our Right Start training and learn the fundamentals of home care,” Young said. “You also have coaches and subject matter experts supporting you in everything from operations to marketing.”In addition to coaching, franchisees have access to topic-specific calls, marketing guidance and a network of fellow owners who can share insights and advice.&nbsp;“Other owners are super helpful,” she said. “People in the corporate headquarters in Omaha have been really supportive and full of expertise and information that has helped.”These resale opportunities give prospective franchisees the chance to acquire an established business while benefiting from the brand's training and support. For many buyers, that combination creates a more stable path into ownership. Once they're ready to sell, Right at Home supports them through that transition as well, helping ensure a smooth handoff to the next owner.“We support our franchisees all the way through their journey,” Young said. “We want the selling of their business to be that grand finale of this very fruitful journey they've had with Right at Home.”&nbsp;If you're interested in taking the next step in making a difference in your community as a Right at Home franchisee, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/.">https://rightathomefranchise.com/.</a>&nbsp;

Why Buying a Right at Home Resale Can Be a Smart Entry Into Owning a Senior In-Home Care Franchise

The brand plans to open one new unit across South Dartmouth and surrounding communities to meet the growing demand for in-home support for seniors and adults with disabilities who want to remain at home.For local entrepreneurs, the opportunity is clear: build a relationship-driven business in markets where assurance travels fast and dependable care can make an outsized impact.

The company awarded 24 new territories in 2025 and completed 22 resales, with nearly 30 new offices opening across the country, many tied to territories sold in 2024. “It’s been a really fantastic year,” Chaney said. “Territory sales and resale activity have both been very consistent with years past. There haven’t been any curveballs or unforeseen circumstances that got us off track — it’s just been a solid, steady year for our system.”South Dartmouth presents a strong opportunity for in-home care services, with an aging population for residents 65-plus of 19% and thriving locations in nearby towns such as Salem, Boston, and Haverhill.Right at Home strengthened its franchisee tool kit in 2025 with major technology rollouts, including a systemwide Zoho CRM launch to support functions from client management to day-to-day scheduling, and a new Encapture partnership that produced a custom app to make daily operations easier by streamlining onboarding, training and document sharing.

When&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sacha-butts-9aa288361/">Sacha Butts</a> began looking into the senior care industry, the search became deeply personal. The U.S. Navy veteran and former federal investigator was forced to navigate a confusing web of care options following her mother’s unexpected cancer diagnosis.&nbsp;<a href="https://valley.labusinessjournal.com/healthcare/veteran-brings-right-at-home-to-simi-valley/">According to the LA Business Journal</a>, that difficult journey through a fragmented system ultimately inspired Butts to launch her own&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> franchise in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/simi-valley">Simi Valley</a> this past September.The experience of balancing a high-pressure career with the urgent needs of an ailing parent taught Butts that the right support does more than just help the patient. She quickly found that proper professional care allowed her to step back from the role of primary caregiver to simply be a daughter again. Now, she’s bringing that same relief to Simi Valley, Moorpark, Camarillo and Somis.The timing of the new business meets a critical need in the region. Data from the California Department of Aging shows that the population of&nbsp;<a href="https://vccf.org/ventura-county-aging-boom-will-intensify-experts-predict/#:~:text=The%20data%20that%20tumbled%20out,and%20virtually%20all%20other%20services.">Ventura County residents aged 60 and older</a> is expected to hit 240,000 by 2040. Currently, residents 65 and older already make up 30% of the county’s population, and many of these seniors expressed a clear preference for aging in place (rather than moving to institutional facilities).Butts spent nearly a year preparing for the launch, using the same attention to detail she honed as a federal investigator to navigate complex licensing and regulatory requirements. She spent hours researching the differences between non-medical in-home care and medical home health care to ensure she could guide families through their own moments of crisis."It was a very long, tedious process to get my license and get everything set up,” Butts told the L.A. Business Journal of her path to&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome/info">Right at Home</a> ownership. “It’s been an interesting learning experience – this is my first time owning my own business."Her background in the Navy and as an investigator now informs how she goes about hiring. She applies a high level of scrutiny to her team, looking for the specific blend of professionalism and compassion that made such a difference for her own mother.By joining&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/rightathome">Right at Home</a>, Butts is tapping into a brand with more than 750 locations globally. Her goal is to move beyond the paperwork and logistics to provide a human connection for those in her community. By offering reliable support for daily tasks like cooking and cleaning, she’s giving local families the gift of time, comfort and peace of mind.Read the full article <a href="https://valley.labusinessjournal.com/healthcare/veteran-brings-right-at-home-to-simi-valley/">here</a>.

LA BUSINESS JOURNAL: Veteran Brings Right at Home to Simi Valley

Navy veteran&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rightathomeperrysburg/">John Baldwin</a> has traded the tight confines of nuclear submarines for a different kind of high-stakes environment: families trying to keep aging loved ones safe at home.Baldwin, 64, owns a&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">Right at Home</a> franchise in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.rightathome.net/perrysburg">Perrysburg, Ohio</a>, providing in-home support for seniors who want to stay where they are most comfortable. “We do in-home care and assistance for the elderly to help them age in place,” Baldwin&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">told Toledo Free Press</a>. That’s the business, in a nutshell.”His first career ran deep beneath the ocean. Baldwin served as a submariner from 1979 to 1985, part of the Navy’s nuclear program. He described the pace as relentless and the learning curve steep, moving from nuclear power school to instructing on a prototype and then joining the submarine fleet. Patrols could last three to four months, he said, and the routine blurred time into a single, rolling stretch of days.After leaving the Navy, Baldwin spent two decades at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. But when his parents and in-laws needed help later in life, he ran into a problem many adult children recognize immediately: finding care that feels both reliable and personal.“God redirected my career path in a big way,” Baldwin said, describing the experience that led him to home care and, eventually, to Right at Home. He opened his franchise in 2010.Today, Baldwin focuses on matching caregivers with clients in a way that makes support feel welcome, not intrusive. Care can range from a couple of visits a week to full-time help, depending on where a family is in the aging process, he said.Baldwin also makes a point to ask new clients a direct question — whether they served — and to steer veterans and their families toward benefits they may not realize are available. For him, it is a continuation of a familiar mission: serve the people counting on you, and make sure no one has to figure it out alone.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://toledofreepress.com/beneath-the-surface-the-veteran-behind-right-at-home/">here</a>.If you're interested in taking the next step in making a difference in your community as a Right at Home franchisee, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://rightathomefranchise.com/">https://rightathomefranchise.com/</a>.
