Entrepreneur magazine has published its Franchise 500 list for nearly 50 years, becoming the definitive ranking of franchise stability and brand power. Once again, this year, PuroClean has landed among the top 100 franchises on this prestigious list.
The latest edition of the Franchise 500 list was published in Entrepreneur’s January/February 2026 issue. PuroClean was ranked No. 91, marking the fifth straight year the brand has been listed in the top 100, the 10th consecutive year it has appeared on the Franchise 500 list, and the 22nd time overall it has been recognized.
Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list has become the gold standard for identifying franchise excellence. This ranking guides potential new franchise owners through what can be an overwhelming process to find the best fit for their needs and the industry they want to be part of. Franchises are evaluated in areas like costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.
PuroClean’s high ranking in the Franchise 500 year after year proves that its franchise business model has the ability to deliver stable revenue and excellent performance for Franchise Owners in the evaluated areas. It shows that PuroClean is an excellent choice for entrepreneurs who want a recession-resistant, scalable business that makes a real-world impact through property damage remediation and restoration.
“To once again be ranked in the top 100 in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list shows the forward momentum PuroClean continues to build year after year,” said Steve White, President of PuroClean. “This progress reflects the strength of our franchise system, the commitment of our Support Team, and the passion of our Franchise Owners who show up every day to serve their communities. As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: delivering Relentless Customer Service, supporting our Franchise Owners, and helping families and businesses recover quickly from property damage.”
A History of Excellence
For more than 20 years, PuroClean’s proven franchise growth strategies have given entrepreneurs across North America the chance to build thriving businesses while helping their communities. More than 500 franchise locations across North America deliver Relentless Customer Service and restore residential and commercial properties along with peace of mind.
Franchise business awards, like being recognized as one of the top 100 franchises on the Franchise 500 list, not only show potential franchise owners the benefits of joining the PuroClean family but also emphasize to existing Franchise Owners that they made the right decision. This gives them the confidence to further execute PuroClean’s franchise strategy and expand their operations.
“Being recognized again as a top franchise reinforces why we continue to invest in the PuroClean brand,” said Christian Carpico, a multi-unit PuroClean Franchise Owner. “Restoration and insurance work requires a high level of coordination and expertise, and PuroClean does an excellent job teaching operators the ropes, providing strong training and support, and fostering collaboration across the franchise network. That foundation gave us the confidence to secure a larger territory and expand once we had the right experience, team, and systems in place. It allows us to grow responsibly while protecting our customers, our carrier relationships, and our people when they need us most.”
A Network That Has Your Back
The franchise training program that Carpico mentioned is one of the most thorough and extensive in the restoration industry. PuroClean provides new Franchise Owners with a strong, structured start to their entrepreneurial journey, even if they don’t have any industry experience.
Held at PuroClean’s Home Office in South Florida, New Franchise Training (NFT) combines classroom instruction, hands-on practice, and real-world simulation to prepare Franchise Owners to serve customers and help their communities from the minute they open their doors. It includes training on industry-leading software systems, operational tools and processes, safety protocols, and sales and marketing strategies.
Participants also put theory into practice in PuroClean’s Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) approved Flood House, a hands-on training environment that replicates real property damage conditions. In short, the NFT program reduces risk, accelerates ramp-up, and provides everything you need to smoothly operate an exceptional residential and commercial restoration company.
The support doesn’t end there. During the first six months, PuroClean Franchise Owners participate in weekly coaching sessions with their Regional Director. They participate our PuroMentor Program, where they learn about restoration business operations from an experienced Franchise Owner. And, perhaps most importantly, they become part of a network of more than 500 Franchise Owners across North America who are eager to answer questions, share their experiences, and cheer each other on!
