The Numbers Behind Franchise Ownership

Franchising remains one of the most resilient paths to business ownership. According to the International Franchise Association’s 2026 economic outlook, franchising generates $907 billion in annual economic output — over 3% of U.S. GDP — across 832,000 franchise establishments and 8.8 million jobs nationwide. Just as encouraging for someone considering their first business: 64% of franchisees are first-time business owners, and 85% live in the same community where they operate, reinvesting in the neighborhoods they call home.
