ProSource Wholesale has been ranked in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500^®, as the #1 franchise within the flooring industry. Recognized by entrepreneurs and franchisors as a top competitive tool of measurement, the Franchise 500^® places ProSource Wholesale as #109 among all franchise systems for its exceptional performance in areas including financial strength and stability, growth rate, and brand power.

“Being recognized by Entrepreneur as the top franchise in the flooring industry and ranked 109 among the nation’s top franchise opportunities is a real honor,” said Eric Bernstein, president of ProSource Wholesale. “We have a lot of momentum going with 6 new showrooms opened in 2016 and our average unit volume now exceeding $4.5 million per showroom.  We will continue providing our existing and new franchisees with the strong support and resources they need to achieve greater success and profitability in each of their showrooms.”

“We spend months gathering and crunching data in order to produce the Franchise 500 ranking. We’re proud of the result and the way it continues to be a resource for the franchise community,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “Like every industry, franchising is ever-evolving and must smartly react to new technologies and consumer demands. We know it takes a lot to stay competitive, and are excited to celebrate those that do it best.”

The key factors that go into Entrepreneur’s evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. All franchises are given a cumulative score based on more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500^® in ranking order.

Over its 38 years in existence, the Franchise 500^® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for entrepreneurs. ProSource Wholesale’s position on the ranking reinforces its strength in the industry.
