In the 2026 Franchise 500® list, TECHY ranked No. 312, recognized for performance across key measures including unit growth, financial strength and stability, operational and marketing support, and overall brand power.
“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,” said Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “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.”
Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® methodology is designed to reflect the realities of an evolving franchise landscape.

The 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores are recognized in the annual ranking.
Over nearly five decades, the Franchise 500® has become both a key competitive yardstick for franchisors and a primary research tool for prospective franchisees. TECHY’s ranking underscores the strength of its franchise opportunity and continued momentum.
