Top 10 AllStar Picks of 2009
Entrepreneur.com's editor has moved to AllBusiness and the dust has settled. AllBusiness for the first time now compiles a list of 300 franchise companies it considers "hot" for 2009. Its editor's call their list "the best of the best". Here is their AllStar top 10.
- Subway
- Dunkin' Donuts
- Choice Hotels Int'l
- 7-Eleven
- Jazzercize
- Jani-King
- Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar
- Hampton Inn & Suites
- Smoothie King
- Denny's
Below is an explanation of what factors AllBusiness' editors used to select their AllStar list.
Over the last six months our team of editors, led by Rieva Lesonsky and Maria Anton (the dynamic duo who spent more than 20 years at Entrepreneur magazine immersed in the intricacies of the franchise world), has researched, compiled, and analyzed more than 700 franchise systems to compile the AllBusiness AllStar Franchises. . . We believe our list is the most transparent and interactive ranking of its kind . . . It is also the only list that draws upon the in-depth financial analysis of our parent company, D&B (Dun and Bradstreet). . . Our AllStar list is also the only one of its kind that takes into account the importance of Web visibility. - AllBusiness
Just like our community, the editors of AllBusiness must think highly of what franchise consultant Nick Bibby has to say because his videos keep popping up next to their list. The video above isn't one they used but it is one of my favorites.
