DENVER – Homewatch CareGivers 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, Homewatch CareGivers has been rated number 296 alongside the largest franchises in its industry.
This recognition validates the tremendous growth the company has experienced in the past year. In 2017, the brand generated $125 million in sales. Homewatch CareGivers now operates 188 locations in communities throughout the United States.
“We are very excited to be included on such a prestigious list,” said Julie Smith, CEO of Homewatch CareGivers. "This ranking is a direct result of our franchisees’ 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 franchisees.”
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.
Homewatch CareGivers provides home care services for families arranging care for senior-aged loved ones and others living with chronic illnesses, convalescing after illness or surgery or who prefer to age in their own homes under the supervision and care of highly trained caregivers. With nearly 200 units across 34 states domestically, as well as in Canada, Central America and South America, Homewatch CareGivers is planning to open up to 15 to 20 franchised locations annually.
Ideal Homewatch CareGivers franchisees have a strong passion for helping people and are active members of their communities.
