According to Globe Newswire, the purpose of the list is to use objective and quantifiable measures of a franchise operation to help would-be entrepreneurs identify franchise investment opportunities. Entrepreneur states that the 2018 list turned out to be one of their most competitive ever and for the first time in 25 years more than 1,000 companies applied to be a part of the list.
