There are many franchise opportunities in the USA. Countless opportunities, in fact. Unfortunately, not all of them are good opportunities. And only a few are among the best franchise opportunities in the USA.

What makes a franchise one of the best opportunities in the USA? What should you look for to find the best opportunities?

The “best” franchise opportunity is a subjective title. Everybody will have a different answer for what the best franchise is for them. It’s not all about profit. If it were, you could just look up the most profitable franchises in American and be done with it. But not everybody will succeed with the franchises that are currently bringing in the most revenue. You need to find the franchise opportunity that is best suited to your experience, your interests, your financial capabilities, and which has opportunities in your area.

Potential profit definitely isn’t the only criterion to make a franchise opportunity one of the best in the USA . . . but it’s definitely a criterion.

People have many different reasons for wanting to own a franchise, but one reason is universal: to make money. The Franchise 500 list profiles the most successful franchises. If you look at the top sections of their list, you will notice something: there are an awful lot of fast food franchises there. Fast food, or quick service, restaurants really popularized the franchising model. So, it makes sense that they remain among the best franchise opportunities in the USA today.

The best franchises in the USA generate a lot of revenue. But just because certain types of franchises have made money before doesn’t mean they always will. What franchises show opportunity for growth?

For any franchise in the USA to be considered among the best, they must demonstrate that they are growing. What form of franchise can demonstrate this? How about pet service franchises? Americans spent about $72 billion on their pets in 2018. (No, that’s not a typo). That’s 4% more than they spent in 2017. These figures make pet service franchises among the best opportunities in the USA.

Many of the best franchises in the USA have been able to capitalize on the environment around them.

Between 1946 and 1964, 76 million Americans were born. These are the most commonly accepted dates that define the Baby Boomer generation. That means that in 2020, the oldest of the Boomers will turn 74 and the youngest will turn 56. This huge cohort will increasingly need care, making senior care franchises among the best opportunities in America.
