This year, we at Entrepreneur published the 45th annual edition of our Franchise 500 ranking. As we celebrate that milestone, we also want to recognize the franchise brands that have been on this Franchise 500 journey right alongside us for the longest, claiming spots in the rankings year after year after year — including three that have ranked in every single Franchise 500 from the very beginning!

Those three brands, along with 47 others that have ranked for the past 25 years or more consecutively, are what we call our "Hall of Fame" franchises. We recognize them here, along with our "10+ Club" franchises — brands that are on their way to future Hall of Fame status, having ranked 10 to 24 years consecutively. We also share some thoughts from a few of these companies on the secrets to their success, the changes they've seen over the years, and what the future of the franchise industry might hold in store.

As always, Entrepreneur's franchise lists are a great starting point if you're interested in purchasing a franchise, but they should not be construed as an unqualified recommendation of any particular company. No matter how impressive the track record of the brand you're considering, you should always do your own extensive research before investing. That includes reading the company's legal documents, consulting with an attorney and an accountant, and talking to current and former franchisees.
