Top 10 International Franchises of 2014
The results of Entrepreneur 's 35th annual Franchise 500 confirm that franchising continues to rebound, with these top 10 franchises leading the way. Here we highlight their success strategies and plans for the upcoming year.
1 Anytime Fitness
Some 50.2 million Americans belonged to health clubs in 2012, according to the International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association. Today, about 1.9 million are Anytime Fitness members--a huge piece of the pie that 's getting bigger every year. And it 's safe to say that the 24-hour gym 's clients, employees and franchisees are among the most enthusiastic people in the fitness industry. That 's because the roughly 2,500 anytime clubs focus on people and culture. The company carefully selects its employees and treats them well, committed to the idea that a workplace should develop and challenge, not be stagnant or boring. Clients, meanwhile, appreciate the convenience of 24-hour accessibility to the small gyms--typically 2,500 to 5,000 square feet--whose staff and personal trainers take an interest and encourage them to push themselves.
2 Hampton Hotels
Consider Hampton the U.S. ambassador of the hotel business. The company, which counts more than 1,900 units worldwide, has become the hallmark of American friendliness, cleanliness and convenience in the value-price hotel sector, offering free Wi-Fi, hot breakfast and an audacious money-back guarantee. During the recession, when business travelers traded down and vacationers were looking for strong value, Hampton seized the opportunity to draw them in. And many of those customers never left. But most exciting is the brand 's international extension, Hampton by Hilton,

    Opening a franchise company has its joys and perils. While the built-in brand recognition is a big plus for a start-up, that brand has not reached the level of some of the largest fast food chains. The franchise brand may not provide the level of support expected from a larger franchise chain. With that said, the combined management experience, and synergy between the goals of the franchisor and the company's goals will lead to the long-term success of our franchise.…

    Despite three consecutive years of growth in lodging revenue, Amber Inn & Suites realized four consecutive unprofitable years, and projections show the fifth year will continue the downward trend. Amber Inn & Suites target market is the business traveler. According to American Hotel and Lodging Association, one-half of all guests are business travelers and one-half are for leisure or family vacations (Kerin and Peterson, 2007).

    Good Hotel branded as a boutique hotel, one which “provides personalized accommodations and services and facilities”, (Pearce, 2012, p. 10-6) has established itself in the $77-billion market. With demonstrated increased occupancy and revenue from November 2008 through March 2010, Good Hotel has a positive track record to continue its current concept. The downside to this decision is Good Hotel’s position as a green hotel may be perceived to be trendy and trends can change. Customers may no longer be willing to pay a higher price if the Green “wave” changes. To prevent this, Good Hotel must strive for more innovative ways to attract customers. “JdV’s senior vice president of operations and green committee chair, Karlene Holloman, launched the company’s Green Dreams portal, a dedicated page on its Web site where consumers could track the…

The importance of health and taking care of yourself as well as the eternal trend of looking good was a trend that was gaining strength and today has become a way of life (or you will have no life you will be dead). Gold’s gym which is credited for taking the fitness gym to the level of meeting a way of life in America that has now become a way of life.

    The biggest well know franchise, as mentioned before, is Mc Donald’s. However, Mc Donald’s has a shady past, which is portrayed in the movie The Founder, which revealed that the original owners signed a contract with another business to start a franchise. Then the other business started changing things without permission of the original owners and then went on to steal the company right from under them.

    Franchises have a higher rate of success than start-up businesses. When you buy a franchise, you are buying an established concept that has been successful. Statistics show that franchisees stand a much better chance of success than people who start independent businesses; independent businesses stand a 70 to 80 percent chance of NOT surviving the first few critical years while franchisees have an 80 percent chance of surviving (Michael M.
