No. 94 Ranking Highlights Opportunities for Owners to Grow Within the Spherion System
ATLANTA – Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) has been recognized on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2026 Top 150 Franchise Brands for Multi-Unit Owners list, earning the No. 94 spot among franchise systems offering opportunities for entrepreneurs to expand their businesses through multi-unit ownership.
The recognition reflects Spherion’s ability to support franchise owners as they grow beyond a single market. With a network of independent, locally owned offices across more than 200 communities, Spherion’s multi-unit owners can deepen their presence in existing markets, expand into new communities and build on the local relationships and expertise they’ve developed through their businesses.
“Being recognized among Entrepreneur’s top franchise brands for multi-unit owners speaks directly to the incredible growth our franchisees make possible within the Spherion system,” said Kathy George, president of Spherion. “Our franchise owners know their local markets inside and out. They deeply understand the businesses and people they serve, carrying that passion forward as they expand. Our job is simply to partner with them every step of the way, ensuring they have the tools, support, and collaboration needed to grow with confidence.”
Entrepreneur’s annual ranking starts with each brand’s Franchise 500 score while also evaluating factors specific to multi-unit ownership, including multi-unit franchise fee discounts, the percentage of franchisees who own multiple units, the percentage of total units owned by multi-unit franchisees, the average number of units owned by each franchisee and whether the brand sells only multi-unit or master license deals. After taking these factors into account, the 150 highest-scoring brands earned recognition on the 2026 list.
