Entrepreneur magazine just released its annual Franchise 500 list and SpeeDee landed a spot, claiming the #415 spot. For more than four decades, Entrepreneur has been releasing yearly franchise reports from extensive research that rank the top 500 brands for the upcoming year. Over 1,000 brands apply to make this list each year.

The research conducted by Entrepreneur to create the ranking includes looking at the cost & fees, size & growth, support, brand strength and financial strength & stability of the franchise brands that apply. After compiling information across those categories, each franchise that applies is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores create the final list.
