The 2024 Franchise 500® ranks Mosquito Shield (#126), Gotcha Covered (#292) and Five Star Bath Solutions (#314) for their outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power. For the second consecutive year, Mosquito Shield ranks #1 among all pest control franchises.

“It’s an honor to see Mosquito Shield, Gotcha Covered and Five Star Bath Solutions recognized for their world-class performance,” said Scott Abbott, CEO and co-founder of Five Star Franchising. “We’re grateful for the hard work and commitment demonstrated by our franchise owners and leaders for each brand, and we’re especially proud that Mosquito Shield has been named the top franchise in its category two years in a row. This is proof that Five Star’s industry-leading franchise systems and support truly make a difference and empower our franchise owners to deliver premium service to their customers and communities.”

For 45 years, the annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500® has been a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry and recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchise owners.

In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The editorial team researches and assesses several factors, including 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. 

“Every brand on the Franchise 500 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,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “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.”

Over its 45 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for prospective franchise owners.

“This is a testament to the value and opportunity we offer our franchise owners,” said J. Andrew Mengason, chief growth officer of Five Star Franchising. “By providing our innovative systems and leveraging the shared power of our platform, we put them in position to pursue their dreams of independence and financial freedom.”
