Wireless Zone Named Among Top Franchises in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500®

February 20, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // FISHERS, Ind. – Wireless Zone® has once again ranked in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. For 47 years, the Franchise 500® has been recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, and placement in the ranking has been a highly sought-after honor within the franchise industry.

“Earning our highest ranking to date on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 is an incredible honor and a reflection of the strength of our franchise system,” said Al Pellecchia, Executive Vice President at Wireless Zone. “Our team and franchisees are deeply committed to the people and communities they serve. As we enter a new era of Wireless Zone, this recognition reinforces the strong foundation we’ve built and the momentum of our network.”

“For 47 years, the Franchise 500 has been the gold standard for identifying franchise excellence. This year’s ranking proves that the best brands don’t just survive changing markets; they thrive in them,” said Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur magazine’s editor in chief. “These 500 companies represent some of the most reliable pathways to business ownership in America, each one vetted through our rigorous analysis of what actually drives franchisee success.”

The Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for prospective franchisees. Each franchise is thoroughly evaluated in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Wireless Zone’s position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a franchise opportunity.
