2016 DOMINATORS
NEW BRANDS. NEW TERRITORIES. NEW RISKS. NEW REWARDS.
Multi-unit, multi-brand operators continue growing larger
each year—a trend that continues to accelerate as these
Dominators expand their portfolios through acquisitions,
new units, refranchising offers, and scooping up success-
ful units from retirees. Banking on their good credit, solid
infrastructure, and track record, today’s Dominators are
creating historically large franchisee organizations, as the
rankings from FRANdata demonstrate. And they keep on
getting bigger every year.
They create jobs by the hundreds and thousands, hiring
young employees and providing a career path for them
to grow, and they do business with local suppliers—lots
of them. And they give back to their communities on a
large scale, encouraging their employees to support local
organizations and charities. No franchisee gets to the top
without years of hard work, sacrifice, perseverance, and
an unwavering desire to be the best. Congratulations to
this year’s Dominators!
Today’s Dominators are sophisticated, savvy, and experi-
enced at managing organizations with hundreds of units,
often spr ead across several states. They also understand
that success is all about unit economics: one customer
and one sale at a time.
