# Franchise Business Review Spotlights Top 50 Multi-Unit Franchise Opportunities

**TL;DR:** Franchise Business Review has released its Top 50 Multi-Unit Franchises Special Report, highlighting excellent brick and mortar and service multi-unit opportunities for entrepreneurs. The report also provides insights into multi-unit franchisees, including their educational background and experience.

## Story

This may sound like the beginning of a bad joke, but stick with me here: What do Sotheby’s, Checkers & Rally’s, Sport Clips* and Toppers Pizza all have in common?

According to Franchise Business Review, they all represent excellent brick and mortar multi-unit opportunities for entrepreneurs.

However, brick and mortar businesses only represented half of FBR’s Top 50 Multi-Unit Franchises Special Report. The other half of the list was saved for the best service multi-unit franchises.

Weed Man, Two Men and a Truck, Mosquito Joe and Right at Home* all popped up on this list as ripe opportunities for business owners.

The FBR Special Report also highlighted some interesting facts about multi-unit franchisees themselves - the white whales to franchising’s Captain Ahab.

For instance, 80 percent are college graduates and nearly a quarter can boast an advanced degree, such as a masters or doctorate.

Most pleasing of all to franchisor ears, however, may be the fact that just under 40 percent of multi-unit franchisees own 5 or more units. And building up this portfolio doesn’t have to be a life’s work, as data showed almost 20 percent of multi-unit franchisees have less than two years’ experience in the industry.
