Alliance Franchise Brands announces that two of its brands, Allegra Marketing Print Mail and Image360 — both providers of custom signs and graphics, have been named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 Hall of Fame.

Allegra Marketing Print Mail

Allegra Marketing Print Mail was named to the magazine’s first-ever Franchise 500 Hall of Fame list. This list honors the elite franchise brands that have ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list for 25 or more years consecutively. Allegra earned its place in the Hall of Fame by ranking in every Franchise 500 for the last 30 years in a row.

“We are thrilled to be named on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 Hall of Fame list,” says Burke Cueny, executive vice president of marketing for Alliance Franchise Brands, the parent company of Allegra Marketing Print Mail. “I’m so proud of our entire franchise system for all their hard work and dedication to upholding the Allegra name and mission. This achievement will further cement our reputation as one of the leading players in the print and marketing space.”

Image360

Image360 was named to the magazine’s first-ever Franchise 500 10+ Year Club. This list honors the elite franchise brands that have ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list for numerous years consecutively. Image360 earned its place in the 10+ Year Club by ranking in every Franchise 500 for the last 20 years in a row.

“It’s a huge honor to be named on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list for the last 20 consecutive years,” states Cueny. “Our team has done a ton of work supporting the communities we serve with stellar signage and graphics. Our franchise members have put in such hard work and have had incredible success.”

Franchise 500

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,” says 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!”
