Spherion Staffing & Recruiting has earned the No. 94 position on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2026 Top 150 Franchise Brands for Multi-Unit Owners list, recognizing the company's ability to support franchisees as they expand across multiple markets. The annual ranking evaluates franchise systems based on factors including Franchise 500 performance, multi-unit ownership levels, franchise fee incentives and overall opportunities for business growth.

The recognition reflects Spherion’s long-standing emphasis on local ownership. With independently operated offices serving communities across the United States, the company encourages franchisees to build deep relationships within their markets before pursuing additional territories. President Kathy George said franchise owners' understanding of their local communities remains a defining strength as they continue to grow within the system.

Entrepreneur’s ranking highlights franchise brands that demonstrate strong support for multi-unit operators while maintaining sustainable growth. In addition to traditional franchise performance metrics, the publication considers the percentage of franchisees who own multiple locations, the average number of units per owner and the resources available to help operators expand successfully.

As franchise systems expand into multiple territories, consistent performance measurement becomes increasingly important. The Benchmarking feature in Gorilla Dash enables franchise organizations to compare operational and business performance across locations, helping identify trends and opportunities as networks grow. For multi-unit operators, comparative insights can support more informed decision-making while maintaining consistent standards throughout the franchise system.
