The trusted provider of effective residential
mosquito and tick control service also ranked No. 63 among the top
150 brands for multi-unit ownership
NORTH ATTLEBORO,
Mass. , July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mosquito
Shield, the trusted provider of effective residential mosquito and
tick control service, was named the No. 1 pest control franchise by
Entrepreneur Magazine, the esteemed publication recently announced.
This is the second consecutive year they have received the
recognition.
The No. 1 ranking comes on the heels of being named to
Entrepreneur's prestigious Franchise 500® earlier this year, where
Mosquito Shield ranked No. 126 overall and was named one of the
Fastest-Growing Franchises and a Top Franchise for Less Than
$100,000.
"Being named to this list is a testament to the growth potential
and the continual evolution of Mosquito Shield as the go-to brand
in the pest control industry," said Michael
Moorhouse, President of Mosquito Shield. "Year after year,
we develop innovative solutions that allow our franchise
owners to grow and be successful. From training to proven
marketing tools and content, we are dedicated to taking our
brand to the next level for those looking to join our successful
franchise."
In addition to being ranked the No. 1 pest control franchise,
Mosquito Shield was also named one of the Top 150 Brands for
Multi-Unit Owners by Entrepreneur at No. 63. The ranking identifies
brands that most appeal to prospective franchisees interested in
multi-unit ownership in addition to current franchisees who are
looking to expand their business portfolio.
Currently, 80% of Mosquito Shields' 400-plus territories are
owned by multi-unit owners with multi-unit owners averaging over
three territories each. In the past two years, the brand has opened
over 100 new territories.
To determine the top brands for multi-unit ownership,
Entrepreneur asked franchisors a series of questions: Do they offer
discounts to franchisees purchasing multiple units? What percentage
of their franchisees own multiple units? What percentage of their
brand's total units are owned by multi-unit franchisees? What is
the average number of units owned by each franchisee? And finally,
do they only sell multiple units or master licenses?
Entrepreneur also factored in each company's Franchise 500®
score, which is based on an analysis of more than 150 data points
in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee
support, brand strength, and financial stability.
"Being seen as one of the top brands for multi-unit ownership
not only establishes Mosquito Shield as one of the top franchises,
but it also showcases its importance within both the franchise and
pest control landscape," said J. Andrew
Mengason, Chief Growth Officer for Five Star Franchising.
"For ambitious franchise owners looking to grow their portfolio or
for entrepreneurs looking to embark on a new multi-unit endeavor,
this list shows that Mosquito Shield and other Five Star
Franchising brands have the necessary support teams to ensure
they succeed."
