Opening rate = franchised outlets opened (Item 20 Table 3, "outlets opened") ÷ franchised outlets at the start of the fiscal year (Table 1), for the latest year in each brand's latest FDD (no more than two years old), descending. Systems with fewer than 50 franchised units at the start of the year are excluded — tiny bases make growth rates meaningless. Fast selling is not fast succeeding: read the same filing's exit columns before being impressed.
Universe: every brand tracked here whose latest filing is a machine extraction from a public FDD (state regulator portals, chiefly Minnesota CARDS), filed 2024–2026. Filings more than two years old and sample/seed data never enter a ranking. Each row's “FDD” link is the official document the figure came from; each brand link leads to the full sourced profile. See the site methodology for extraction and confidence rules.
A broker is usually paid by the franchisor to place you. I'm paid only by you, never by a franchisor you're considering — and the job is pressure-testing the numbers, including talking you out of a bad deal.
