Leading Early Education Franchise Ranked #353 On List of the 500 Largest United States Franchise Brands
FORT WORTH, Texas – Children’s Lighthouse announced today it has been named #353 on the 2022 Franchise Times’ Top 500 list.
With nearly 70 locations open, and another 18 in development across the United States, the company is currently on pace to exceed $110 million in systemwide sales for 2022.
“We couldn’t be more honored about being named as a top franchise company,” said Michael Brown, President of Children’s Lighthouse Franchise Company. “I watch our franchisees and their teams work day in and day out to live up to our brand promise of creating a safe, fun, and happy place that gives a child confidence, a sense of comfort today, and a lifelong love of learning, friendship, and community. Everything we do is for the child and with that promise in mind, it allows our franchisees to provide the best possible education and care. This is a huge testament to all that they do. I truly can’t put into words how much this means to our entire company.”
“Previously the Top 400, Franchise Times expanded its annual ranking to 500 of the largest U.S.- based franchise systems by global systemwide sales to better encompass the biggest brands in franchising, along with promising young concepts in growth mode. The project is the result of a five-month research and reporting effort that leads to the most credible and objective franchise ranking available,” said Franchise Times Editor in Chief Laura Michaels.
The collection of systemwide sales data also provides useful insight into the franchise industry’s performance coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Every segment gained ground in 2021, with some getting back to or even surpassing pre-pandemic sales.
