CINCINNATI, Oh. — Tide Cleaners led the ranks for the drycleaning industry for Entrepreneur’s annual “Top Growth Franchise 150,” coming in at No. 69. The rankings list the top 150 companies with the greatest positive franchise unit growth in North American over a three-year period, and is compiled from the magazine’s yearly “Franchise 500” ranking.
“Tide Cleaners is a competitive brand in a growing, in-demand industry,” says Director of Franchising at Tide Cleaners, Clare Moore. “Earning a spot in the ‘Top Growth Franchises’ list demonstrates the company’s success and commitment to franchise development.”
"By maintaining steady, sustained growth over several years, these franchises have demonstrated that they have the systems in place to support their franchisees and help them become successful,” says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur’s editor-in-chief. “Now, as these and other companies around the country face unprecedented challenges, they may see their growth slow, but that record of success could prove more important than ever."
