Several promo firms were named to Entrepreneur magazine’s 2025 Franchise 500 list this year.

The list, which has been around for almost five decades, recognizes the franchise industry’s top achievers and is considered an invaluable resource for potential franchisees.

“The Franchise 500 is more than a list. It’s really a collection of life-changing opportunities, featuring strong and resilient brands that future franchisees will be proud to be a part of,” said Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “This year’s honorees represent the bold ideas, operational excellence and adaptability that make franchising a cornerstone of entrepreneurial success.”

The magazine’s editorial team determines the rankings each year by researching and assessing factors that include companies’ costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise receives a cumulative score based on analyzing more than 150 data points, and the 500 brands with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500 in ranked order.

  • 66: Minuteman Press (asi/377000)
