Entrepreneur's 34th Annual Franchise 500 ranking reveals the impact of the newest trends and the industries poised for growth.  All companies, regardless of size, are judged by the same criteria:  objective, quantifiable measures of the franchise operation.  The most important factors include financial strength and stabilty, growth rate and size of the system.  According to Entrepreneur, the Franchise 500 shows that many of the most competitive companies are those that go after a specific demographic.  Among the top growing demographic categories, national, is senior care.  The continued growth of the senior population bodes well for franchise organizations like Comfort Keepers.
