Franchise Rankings & Awards

Franchise Update Media recognizes the leaders shaping the multi-unit franchise industry through its annual rankings and awards programs. Four times a year, we publish lists highlighting the country’s largest franchisees by total units, the brands they operate, and where they do business—offering insight into how these top operators have built and scaled their success. Each year, we also present our MVP Awards, honoring multi-unit franchisees across several categories of excellence, along with our STAR Awards, which recognize outstanding performance in franchise development, recruitment, and responsiveness. Explore these rankings and award winners to learn from the best and brightest in the industry and discover the strategies behind their achievements.
