Multi-unit franchising has become an attractive option for small business entrepreneurs, especially those focused on expanding their operation and building their own “mini empires.” In addition to generating more income, many multi-unit owners like the revenue diversification that comes with managing more than one franchise location, or even more than one brand.

To help candidates interested in franchise ownership and one day expanding their portfolio, Franchise Business Review has identified the Top Multi-Unit Franchises of 2021. To determine the 50 franchises for our awards list, we surveyed over 3,500 franchisees from 248 of today’s leading franchise brands. Each survey participant was asked 33 benchmark questions about their franchisor that focused on areas such as leadership, training, and core values, as well as 16 more personal questions concerning their business lifestyle and overall enjoyment of running their franchise.
Franchise brands are not allowed to pay for exposure on any of our lists; we determine the best franchises based purely on our independent surveys. You can learn more about our research methodology here.
