These top 50 franchises are already making waves--be the first to find out all about them.
If you're the type of person who prefers Beyonce to Aretha,
Sofia Coppola to Francis Ford Coppola and boba tea to Earl Grey,
then you're probably the type who leans toward something new.
So when it comes to considering franchises to buy, you may yawn
when you hear names like McDonald's and Subway, and perk up
when you read about concepts such as ice cream shaped like tiny
dots or chicken wing restaurants.
You've come to the right place. We give you a sneak peek at
what's new, via this listing of 50 top companies that started
franchising since 1990. The companies have been ranked by their
scores in Entrepreneur's January 2004 Franchise 500®. This list
isn't intended to endorse any particular franchise, but rather
to provide a starting point for your research. Before you purchase
any franchise, you should investigate the opportunity thoroughly by
interviewing existing franchisees, consulting with an attorney and
an accountant, and reading all pertinent literature including the
company's Uniform Franchise Offering Circular. Don't jump
into a new franchise without doing your research first.
