Check out the lineup below to see which brands are competing for the title of best franchise to buy and then cast your votes in each category.
Contenders are drawn from the Franchise Times Top 400 database, a 20-year-old research tool covering more than 600 U.S.-based franchise systems. We further narrowed the list by analyzing the quality of information in each brand’s Item 19 (which contains information about profitability for franchisees) or other key financial data, and also focusing on brands that are currently expanding in the United States.
