For 47 years, The Franchise 500® has been recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, and placement in the ranking has been a highly sought-after honor within the franchise industry.

"To once again be ranked in the top 100 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 list shows the forward momentum PuroClean continues to build year after year," said Steve White, President of PuroClean. "This progress reflects the strength of our franchise system, the commitment of our Support Team, and the passion of our Franchise Owners who show up every day to serve their communities.

"Being recognized again as a top franchise reinforces why we continue to invest in the PuroClean brand," said Christian Carpico, Multi-unit PuroClean Franchise Owner. "Restoration and insurance work requires a high level of coordination and expertise, and PuroClean does an excellent job teaching operators the ropes, providing strong training and support, and fostering collaboration across the franchise network. That foundation gave us the confidence to secure a larger territory and expand once we had the right experience, team, and systems in place. It allows us to grow responsibly while protecting our customers, our carrier relationships, and our people when they need us most."

In Entrepreneur's effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company's 47-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve. Each franchise is thoroughly evaluated and given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. The 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.  

"For 47 years, the Franchise 500 has been the gold standard for identifying franchise excellence. This year's ranking proves that the best brands don't just survive changing markets; they thrive in them," says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur magazine's editor in chief. "These 500 companies represent some of the most reliable pathways to business ownership in America, each one vetted through our rigorous analysis of what actually drives franchisee success."

The Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for prospective franchisees. PuroClean's position on the ranking reflects consistent performance across its franchise system.
