“Entrepreneur is an American magazine and website that carries news stories about entrepreneurship, small business management, and business.  The magazine was first published in 1977.  It is published by Entrepreneur Media Inc., headquartered in Irvine, California.  The magazine publishes 10 issues annually, available through subscription and on newsstands.  It is published under license internationally in Mexico, Russia, India, Hungary, the Philippines, South Africa and others.”            

Every year since 1979 Entrepreneur has published a list of their Top 500 Franchise Companies. The Franchise 500 evaluation process is based on what the magazine calls “The Five Pillars of the Franchise 500”:  Costs and Fees; Size and Growth; Support; Brand Strength, and Financial Strength and Stability.   

SERVPRO has been consistently making the list since 1988. But for the first time since 2016, SERVPRO was named a Top 10 overall franchise opportunity in 2021, even ranking above McDonalds.  And we have held the #1 position in the cleaning and restoration industry for nearly 20 years in a row.

According to our CEO Rick Isaacson, “SERVPRO’s #10 overall ranking is a result of the hard work our franchises, their crews, and our dedicated headquarters team put in while many businesses were not so lucky.  So many businesses were negatively impacted, slowed, or closed due to the pandemic.  When COVID forced much of the world to slow down or step back, our team stepped up and did what it took, whether that was cleaning businesses so they could reopen safely or disinfecting first responders’ vehicles – man of those at no cost – to give back to those working every day to keep us safe.”  We here at SERVPRO of Appleton have been proud to play our part by disinfecting the COVID areas of a local hospital on a daily basis, as well as many businesses when cases arose in their staff.
