GETTY IMAGES/ANSONSAW the list BREAKOUT STARS Learn what fuels the fastest-growing franchises of the year By Tracy Stapp Herold 2/16 ENTREPRENEUR 99 T he franchising business is booming, and nowhere is that more evident than Entrepreneur’s fastest-growing franchises ranking Growth is the goal of every franchise system, of course, but not all achieve it as successfully as our top performers To find out their secret sauce, we asked executives from the companies in our ranking As their responses poured in, a clear theme emerged: Real growth—growth that’s not only quick, but sustainable—comes from a focus on people; not just the franchisees, but the employees they hire, the customers they serve, and the corporate staff who support them In sh Take care of people and th f themselves The 105 companies listed on the following pages represent a total of 9,695 new franchises opened in North America between July 2014 and July 2015, an almost 32 percent increase from the previous year’s growth The companies are ranked based on their growth during that time frame, with ties listed alphabetically As you look over this listing and take in some words of wisdom from the fastest-growing companies, keep in mind that the ranking is not intended as an endorsement of any particular company Growth is just one sign of a healthy franchise system, but finding the right opportunity for you requires due diligence Before investing, always read the company’s legal documents, consult with an attorney and an accountant, and look beyond the numbers by talking to franchisees about their

Slice of the Pie Marco’s Pizza rises to the top of the pizza chain UT OF MORE than 30 pizzerias that applied to be considered for Entrepreneur’s 2016 Franchise 500 listing, Toledo, Ohio-based Marco’s Pizza logged the greatest domestic growth, beating out industry giants such as Pizza Hut and Papa John’s Its banner year was 38 years in the making Italian-born founder Pasquale Giammarco began franchising in 1979, seven years earlier than “Papa” John Schnatter, but after 25 years, the company counted only a little more than 100 restaurants in three states In 2004, restaurant-industry veteran Jack Butorac acquired the franchise rights and pulled together an experienced team to turn the modest Marco’s into a national brand “Without a lot of track record in growth, we were finding it very difficult to find lenders [for franchisees],” says Bryon Stephens, president and COO of the company “We knew that we were going to have to take some extraordinary measures.” So they initiated captive-leasing O programs to provide direct funding to franchisees They also created Marco’s Assurance, diverting a portion of every franchise fee and royalty into a fund to guarantee franchisees’ loans Though unprecedented, that move proved vital Then in 2012, Marco’s took another outside-the-box approach to growth: a partnership with Family Video The movie-rental chain became Marco’s largest franchisee, placing pizzerias within about 130 of their stores to date, so customers can get pizza and a movie at the same time—in store or delivered Today, Marco’s has almost 700 stores in 35 states, and a 10-year goal to grow to 2,500 Founder Pasquale Though Giammarco creative strategies have certainly accelerated growth at Marco’s, Stephens says that the foundation for its success is still good food and good service To attract and retain high-quality people to deliver on both counts, Marco’s offers its best employees the chance to earn equity in the stores they work in Forgoing franchise fees and instead allowing people to work toward ownership is a unique tactic designed to reward Stephens’ number-one requirement: passion “It’s not just about how much money you have to invest,” he says “You’ll be miserable if you can’t share our passion for our culture, our customers and our product.” —T.S.H COURTESY OF MARCO’S PIZZA 2016 Franchise 500 rank: #62 Total franchises/ co.-owned:
