Dale Carnegie is Named To Franchise Times Top 200+ List

MELVILLE, NY – Dale Carnegie announced today that it has been named to Franchise Times’ Top 200+ list, which is an exclusive ranking of the 500 largest franchises. Based on the company’s worldwide system sales and number of locations, Dale Carnegie has been rated number 248 alongside the largest franchises in its industry.

This recognition validates the tremendous growth the company has experienced in the past year. Dale Carnegie now operates 299 offices in communities throughout the United States.

“We are humbled to achieve this incredible milestone,” said Jean-Louis Van Doorne, Chief Franchise Advocate at Dale Carnegie. "This ranking is a direct result of our franchise partners’ hard work and dedication to succeed. We look forward to continuing this momentum as we grow into new markets and offer continued support to our existing partners.”

Using a combination of companies’ voluntary reports and the most recent franchise disclosure documents, the Franchise Times Top 200+ is an annual ranking of the 500 largest franchise systems in the United States by global system-wide sales, based on the previous year's performance. The project is the result of a five-month research and reporting effort each year that results in the most credible and objective franchise ranking available.

To qualify for the ranking, companies must be a legal United States franchise, with its headquarters based in the United States or at least 10 percent of their total units located in the country. Franchisees must also own at least 15 percent of the company’s total units. The 200 franchises with the top global system-wide sales, including total sales for both franchise and company units, receive the highest rankings.

Through a diverse training curriculum offered in-person or live online, Dale Carnegie continues to adapt to the ever-changing needs and challenges of the modern business world. Though the form of the delivery may evolve, the timeless insight and guidance brought to Dale Carnegie customers every day is still rooted in the continuity of core human motivations.

By changing people, Dale Carnegie believes therein lies the power to change corporations and communities.

Dale Carnegie requires franchise partners have a minimum net worth of $500,000 and at least $150,000 in liquid capital. The start-up cost to open a Dale Carnegie business varies depending on individual revenue targets of a territory, but it is on average 20 percent lower than the investment for other businesses in the industry.
