JEREMIAH’S ITALIAN ICE RANKED IN ENTREPRENEUR’S FIRST-EVER LIST OF TOP FRANCHISE BRANDS FOR MULTI-UNIT OWNERS
ORLANDO, Fla. – Jeremiah’s Italian Ice has been recognized in Entrepreneur’s inaugural ranking of the Top Brands for Multi-Unit Owners. The ranking, which appears in the July/August issue of Entrepreneur magazine and on Entrepreneur.com, identifies the brands with the most appeal for prospective franchisees interested in multi-unit ownership as well as existing franchisees looking to expand their portfolios. Jeremiah’s Italian Ice was ranked No. 92.
“We are incredibly honored to be recognized by such a reliable and trustworthy source in the franchising space,” said Michael Keller, CEO and President of Jeremiah’s. “We take pride in cultivating a thoughtful and stream-lined system for our franchise partners and we are honored to be acknowledged by our multi-unit owners for our efforts. Our franchisees are truly part of the Jeremiah’s family and push us to always strive for greatness.”
According to franchise research and advisory firm FRANdata, 53.2% of all franchise units operating in the U.S. last year were owned by multi-unit owners. To determine the top brands for multi-unit ownership, Entrepreneur asked franchisors a few relevant questions: Do they offer discounts to franchisees purchasing multiple units? What percentage of their franchisees own multiple units? What percentage of their brand’s total units are owned by multi-unit franchisees? What is the average number of units owned by each franchisee? And finally, do they only sell multiple units or master licenses? They also factored in each company’s Franchise 500 score, which is based on an analysis of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial stability.
“Entrepreneur‘s lists reflect the state of the franchise industry—and there is perhaps no greater story than the power of the multi-unit franchisee,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “The industry is increasingly embracing them as motivated, knowledgeable, capable operators, and it’s no wonder that brands are now competing for these great multi-unit owners’ attention.”
