## Story

“We are honored to be included on the Franchise Times 400 list once again, and I attribute this achievement to our incredible teams and dedicated franchisees for making this recognition possible,” said Shannon Hudson, founder and CEO of 9Round. “In 2021, the 9Round brand sustained momentum as a result of new digital development and improvements to our franchise development strategy. We're excited to see how the brand continues to grow globally with this new energy in the coming years.”

Previously the Top 200+, Franchise Times renamed its annual ranking of the 400 largest U.S.- based franchise systems by global systemwide sales to better encompass the biggest brands in franchising, along with promising young concepts in growth mode. The rigorous approach to research remains the same, said Franchise Times Editor in Chief Laura Michaels. The project is the result of a five-month research and reporting effort that leads to the most credible and objective franchise ranking available.
