More than 11,000 new businesses. Thousands of new jobs within those businesses. And even more happy customers using those businesses’ products and services. If you want a snapshot of the economic impact of franchising, this is it — our list of the fastest-growing brands in the industry.
Here, we celebrate the 150 companies that have harnessed the power of the franchise model to supercharge their growth, adding dozens and even hundreds of units over the one-year period from July 31, 2024, to July 31, 2025. Brands are ranked based on their net franchise unit growth in the U.S. and Canada during that period, with ties broken based on percentage growth. Altogether, these companies added a combined net total of 11,090 new franchises in North America in just one year!
Remember as you read that this list is based purely on unit growth and is not intended as a recommendation of any particular company. Growth is only one of many factors you should consider when researching a franchise opportunity. Before investing in any brand, always do your due diligence. Read the company’s legal documents, consult with an attorney and an accountant, and talk to current and former franchisees to make sure it’s the right fit for you.
