Leading Supplemental Education Provider Lands Spot in Top Industry Ranking, Celebrating Remarkable Growth in 2024
DALLAS, Jan. 14, 2025 -- Sylvan Learning, the leading provider of supplemental and enrichment education for K-12 students and part of the youth enrichment growth-focused platform Unleashed Brands, announced today its recognition on Entrepreneur magazine's 2024 Franchise 500® list, securing an impressive rank at No. 115. This prestigious achievement highlights Sylvan Learning's exceptional growth in franchise operations and a continued commitment to help more students nationwide reach their academic potential.
The annual Entrepreneur Franchise 500® has been a highly sought-after honor in the franchise industry and ranks brands on outstanding performance in areas including unit growth, financial strength and stability and brand power. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.
Sylvan Learning's 2024 success is marked by several highlights, including:
- 12 New Franchises Awarded: Expansion continued nationwide, with significant growth in high-demand states like California, Florida, and Texas.
- 20 New Locations Opened: Sylvan's footprint grew across both established and emerging markets.
- Franchise Advisory Council Established: Sylvan formed its first-ever Franchise Advisory Council, fostering collaboration and innovation across its franchise network and Home Office team.
- Historic District Partnership: The brand secured a record-setting, multi-million-dollar contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the second-largest school district in the U.S.
Over its 46 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees. Sylvan's position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a franchise opportunity.
"The Franchise 500 is more than a list. It's really a collection of life-changing opportunities, featuring strong and resilient brands that future franchisees will be proud to be a part of," says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. "This year's honorees represent the bold ideas, operational excellence, and adaptability that make franchising a cornerstone of entrepreneurial success."
