## Story

Budget Blinds ranked No. 12 on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2021 Franchise 500 list.

Entrepreneur’s annual list examines trends in the franchising industry. To be eligible for this year’s list, franchisors had to be seeking new franchisees in the U.S. and/or Canada and have a minimum of 10 units open and operating as of mid-2020. More than 1,100 brands applied to make this year’s ranking.

Those selected to be on the coveted list were evaluated for factors such as costs and fees, franchisee support, size and growth, brand strength and financial strength and stability.

Last year, Budget Blinds ranked No. 17 on Franchise Magazine’s Franchise 500 list. Even amid a pandemic, the brand experienced growth with 100 franchise territory exchanges and inched toward an impressive 1,300-territory milestone.

Launched in 1992, Budget Blinds allows customers to shop at home for window coverings and offers customers free in-home consultations, virtual consultations, window measurements and installation. The company sells a variety of name-brand window coverings, including a smart home automation line.
