Franchises That Are Actually Growing

Every franchisor has to report, in Item 20 of its FDD, how many locations opened and closed each year. Almost nobody reads that far. These are the brands where the most recent year on file shows net growth -- more openings than closings.

Net growth in one year doesn't guarantee the trend holds -- check each brand's full multi-year history on its own page before drawing conclusions.
