TL;DR
HomeWell Care Services has been ranked a top franchise in Entrepreneur's 42nd Annual Franchise 500, recognized for outstanding performance and brand power. The ranking is based on factors such as costs and fees, size and growth, and financial strength and stability.
“2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but it was also a year of unusual opportunity,” says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur editor-in-chief. “Franchises were able to be nimble and innovative, serving the needs of franchisees and customers in ways that will resonate for many years to come. We believe that, when we eventually look back on this time, we’ll see it as a moment when many brands defined themselves for the future.”
In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s 42-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, system support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.
Over its 42 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees.
Crystal Franz, HomeWell Franchising Inc. CEO said, “We are incredibly honored to have made the list again this year. Our position on the ranking is a testament to our strength as a franchise system. While 2020 brought many challenges, our commitment to support our franchisees and continue to grow the company is unwavering.”
