Top 100 Franchises for 2010

Let's face it, we all love ranking systems. Here at Franchise Gator, we work hard to connect you with the best franchise opportunities in the world. To that end, we have created a series of top franchise lists determined by factors of “popularity” such as number of times viewed and requested by our visitors. Our lists are actually a reflection of our visitor's actions rather than an editor's opinion or set of business measurements. We believe the resulting top franchise lists will help you find opportunities that are exciting, affordable, and emerging – characteristics that are often overlooked in other franchise ranking systems.

To begin, choose a top franchise list below and click “Go.” If you find franchises that you would like to request more information from, just click on the “Add Company” button to add it to your Request List.
