Top franchise

PuroClean was recognized as one of the top 500 franchises in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. For 46 years, achieving placement on the annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500 has been a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry and is recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees. The 2025 Franchise 500 ranks PuroClean for its outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power, marking the company’s fourth consecutive year within the top 100 and ninth consecutive year appearing on the list.
 
“Being recognized inside the Top 100 on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 is an incredible honor and a direct reflection of the dedication and hard work of both our Support Team and Franchise Owner community,” PuroClean President and COO Steve White said. “This recognition highlights our commitment to excellence within franchising and is a testament to the momentum we’ve built as a brand. It drives us to continue delivering relentless customer service as we help communities across the nation recover from property damage.”
 
For more than 20 years, PuroClean has helped home and business owners with their restoration and remediation needs, serving communities across the United States and Canada through a network nearing 500 offices. Addressing water damage, fire damage, mold growth, and other property-related issues, PuroClean is dedicated to delivering exceptional service and restoring properties.
 
In Entrepreneur’s continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company’s 46-year-old ranking formula continues to evolve as well. The editorial team researches and assesses several factors, including costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500 in ranking order.  

“The Franchise 500 is more than a list. It’s really a collection of life-changing opportunities, featuring strong and resilient brands that future franchisees will be proud to be a part of,” says Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “This year’s honorees represent the bold ideas, operational excellence, and adaptability that make franchising a cornerstone of entrepreneurial success.”
