AUDUBON, Pa. – CertaPro Painters, the most trusted painting company in North America, was named to Entrepreneur’s first-ever Franchise 500 Hall of Fame list, published in the March/April 2023 issue of Entrepreneur magazine, and on Entrepreneur.com. This prestigious list honors the elite franchise brands that have ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 ranking for 25 or more years consecutively. CertaPro Painters earned its place in the Hall of Fame by ranking in every Franchise 500 for the last 25 years.

“At CertaPro Painters, we have spent decades gaining the trust of our customers to become North America’s Most Referred Painting Company®. Their satisfaction is our top priority. We make residential and commercial painting services easier and more convenient for our customers, and being recognized as a top service provider for more than 25 years is the proof of our dedication,” said Michael Stone, President and CEO of CertaPro Painters. “We are honored to have made the prestigious Franchise 500 Hall of Fame ranking, and we look forward to continuing our legacy throughout North America and to serving our customers for the years to come.”

In addition to the Hall of Fame ranking, CertaPro also received another accolade, earning a spot on the Entrepreneur’s Top Global Franchises ranking, which is the biggest, most widely referenced and well-respected global ranking of the year. The ranking consists of franchises that are seeking new franchisees outside of the United States and have a minimum of five units open abroad as of July 2021. CertaPro Painters ranked in the top 200 of these international franchises.

Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 has been evaluating and ranking franchise opportunities for 44 years. The company’s proprietary ranking formula analyzes brands based on more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. The ranking grows more competitive each year—1,321 companies applied for a chance at a spot in the top 500 in 2023—and only 49 franchise brands have managed to rank every year for the last 25 years or more, and thus earn a spot in the 2023 Hall of Fame.

“We’re honoring these A-list brands who have shown through and through their commitment to growth, to their franchisees, and to their communities,” said Entrepreneur Senior Vice President of Franchising Liane Caruso. “Ranking in the Franchise 500 is highly competitive, and achieving that distinction year after year is quite an accomplishment. We’re thrilled to recognize so many brands who have thrived over the years!”
