In the 30 years since it launched its much-hyped Franchise 500, Entrepreneur magazine has named McDonald’s the #1 franchise 8 times (only half as many times as Subway).

In recent years, Entrepreneur has ranked McDonald’s #2 (2009); #5 (2008); #9 (2007); #16 (2006); and #13 (2005).

There are more than 2400 McDonald’s franchise owners in the U.S., owning 13,000 franchised locations.  40% are women or minorities.

According to McDonald’s:

McDonald’s has always been a franchising company and has relied on its Owner/Operators to play a major role in the System’s success. McDonald’s remains committed to franchising as a predominant way of doing business…  McDonald’s continues to be recognized as a premier franchising company around the world. We believe a major component of this is the world class training you receive prior to becoming an Owner/Operator. McDonald’s provides hands on training and the materials you need to be a success in your restaurant business.

  • McDonald's is definitely a world-class Franchise. McDonald's truly partners with thier franchisees, and realizes that it is the success of the Franchisees that will lead to its success. Its heavy emphasis on world-class training, day-to-day consistency, a strong operational system, and its commitment to its partners is what makes this a great Brand and a great Franchise. McDonald's listens to the feedback given by it franchisees and will act upon it, for the good of the system. Yes, there are many, many happy franchisees...because McDonald's has values that it lives by, partnering well with its vendors, and its franchisees, creating long-term relationships that are nothing short of being a McFamily.
