Express Ranks on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® List

Express Employment Professionals ranks as the top U.S. staffing/recruiting franchise and 57th franchised company overall, according to today’s Entrepreneur’s annual 2023 Franchise 500® ranking.

Express Employment International CEO Bill Stoller said, “Receiving the designation of Entrepreneur’s top U.S. staffing/recruiting franchise once again offers continued validation for the hard work and dedication of every Express staff member and the culture of personalizing the hiring process.”

Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur editor-in-chief, says every brand on the Franchise 500® list has its own unique story, but they all collectively make the same statement.

“Franchising is strong and resilient, is full of innovation and opportunity, and provides a powerful entrepreneurial path for many people,” he added. “Our 45th annual ranking is full of companies with fresh ideas, exciting business models, cultural sway and the kind of business sophistication that will define the next 45 years and beyond.”

Key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is then 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 ranked order.
