Non Food Concepts DOMINATE Franchise 500

Entrepreneur Magazine just released its Franchise 500 rankings, which attempts to show you the top 500 franchises (regardless of size) based on objective, quantifiable measures of a franchise operation.  For more details how the ratings are determined, please visit http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchises/franchise500/about.html.

Let’s take a look at the Top 25 in this list, based on CATEGORY – not the franchise itself.  You’ll notice I’m not mentioning any specific company’s name, just the category.
