## Story

The Franchise Times Top 400 is an exclusive annual ranking of the largest U.S.-based franchise systems by global systemwide sales. This year’s research found that Top 400 revenue grew 4.3 percent in 2025, to $784.6 billion, as franchise brands pushed sales during a year still impacted by inflation and interest rate concerns, and, in some segments, a pullback in consumer spending.

“Being named to the Franchise Times Top 400 is a true honor, and it reflects the strength of both our brand and our franchisees,” said Teresa Johnson, CEO of Color Me Mine. “Our focus has been on giving every owner the tools to succeed, and this recognition is a testament to that. We’re excited to build on this momentum with continued investment in our franchisees and a strong pipeline of new studios on the horizon.”

Color Me Mine’s rise in the rankings follows a year of steady franchise development, including its 150th studio opening and entry into several new markets across the country. Alongside that growth, the brand has invested in proprietary technology and new operational initiatives designed to set both new and existing franchisees up for long-term success.

The Franchise Times Top 400 placement is the latest in a string of industry honors for Color Me Mine and its leadership this year. This month, Johnson was named a Women of Wonder honoree by Franchise Dictionary Magazine. Earlier this year, she was named to Forbes’ 2026 50 Over 50 list, and Color Me Mine was ranked the No. 1 DIY/Paint-&-Sip Studio in Entrepreneur’s 2026 Franchise 500®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking.

The brand had an average unit volume of $513,044 in 2025 and the total estimated initial investment to open a franchise is between $219,180 and $475,410. Color Me Mine’s proven model is a fit for first-time business owners, families looking to build their legacy and passionate entrepreneurs who are excited about making meaningful connections with their community.
