2016 Dominators

New brands . New territories . New risks . New rewards . Multi-unit , multi-brand operators continue growing larger each year — a trend that continues to accelerate as these Dominators expand their portfolios through acquisitions , new units , refranchising offers , and scooping up successful units from retirees . Banking on their good credit , solid infrastructure , and track record , today ’ s Dominators are creating historically large franchisee organizations , as the rankings from FRANdata demonstrate . And they keep on getting bigger every year .

Today ’ s Dominators are sophisticated , savvy , and experienced at managing organizations with hundreds of units , often spread across several states . They also understand that success is all about unit economics : one customer and one sale at a time .

They create jobs by the hundreds and thousands , hiring young employees and providing a career path for them to grow , and they do business with local suppliers — lots of them . And they give back to their communities on a large scale , encouraging their employees to support local organizations and charities . No franchisee gets to the top without years of hard work , sacrifice , perseverance , and an unwavering desire to be the best . Congratulations to this year ’ s Dominators !
