Entrepreneur magazine’s 2011 Franchise 500 Rankings lists Hampton Hotels at No. 1, with some other companies familiar to Owensboro in the top 10, including McDonald’s at No. 3; Days Inn at six; Subway at nine and Denny’s at 10.
And sitting at No. 8 is Servepro, a cleanup and restoration company.
Local franchise owner John Sublett with Servepro of Daviess County is pretty pleased with his company’s spot in the top 10.
Sublett’s business opened in June 2007.
“We give people their homes and businesses back,” he said. “They come home and have had a water heater leak or a fire, and we get them back in.” More.
