Magazine History: How it Started
Since 1979, Entrepreneur magazine has created a special list. This list ranks the top 500 franchise companies. A franchise is a business where you buy the right to use a company's name and system, like a fast-food restaurant.
The magazine also makes other important lists and gives awards. One of these is the "Entrepreneur 360" list. It helps find businesses that are great at growing. Companies on this list are judged on many things. These include how much money they make and how well they are managed. They also look at new ideas, finances, and how valuable the business is.
In 1996, Entrepreneur launched its website, Entrepreneur.com. This website grew to include many features. It also has contests and other publications. The magazine is known as one of America's top business publications. It competes with other big names like Forbes Magazine and Fortune.
Franchise 500: Top Business Franchises
The Franchise 500 is a yearly list made by Entrepreneur magazine. It ranks 500 of the best American franchise companies. Companies apply to be on the list, and then they are reviewed. The Franchise 500 started in 1979. It has been published every year since then.
Other Publications and Websites
Entrepreneur magazine also publishes another magazine called Entrepreneur StartUps. You can subscribe to it or buy it at newsstands. The magazine also has a blog. A team of online staff manages this blog. You can also read the magazine on mobile apps as digital editions.
