Fastest Growing Cleaning Franchises

Ranked on net unit change: outlets opened in a year minus outlets terminated, not renewed or closed, as a share of the outlets the system started that year with. Headline growth is the number franchisors quote and the one that flatters hardest — a system can open thirty percent and close fifteen and still call itself fast-growing. Every figure is from Item 20 of the brand's own FDD.

Computed from Item 20 of each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document and recomputed as coverage grows. Brands are excluded where the filing's own outlet arithmetic doesn't balance — a mis-parsed table should not outrank a correct one. This list has never been, and cannot be, paid for. How this is calculated.
