Entrepreneur revealed the 105 franchises that grew the most from 2007 to 2008, as verified by Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® research. This ranking is based on growth in the number of open and operating U.S. and Canadian franchise units from July 31, 2007, to July 31, 2008.

Entrepreneur said taht this ranking is not intended to endorse any of these franchise companies. Growth is just one factor to consider when shopping for a franchise opportunity. You should carefully read the Franchise Disclosure Document, contact existing franchise owners, and consult an attorney and an accountant. You should only invest in a franchise after conducting your own research.
