Five Star Franchising ranks No. 157 in prestigious Inc. 5000

SPRINGVILLE, Utah — August 13, 2024 — Five Star Franchising, an innovative, growing platform of home services franchise brands, has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing private companies ranking No. 157 in the prestigious annual Inc. 5000. This is the fourth time Five Star Franchising has appeared on the list.

As part of the Inc. 5000, Five Star Franchising ranked No. 3 in Provo-Orem, Utah, No. 8 in business products and services and No. 6 in Utah.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 is a testament to Five Star’s ability to adapt, evolve and create great opportunities for both our current franchise owners and those aspiring to be business owners,” said Scott Abbott, CEO and Cofounder of Five Star Franchising. “Being ranked No. 157 of 5,000 private companies is a direct reflection of the hard work of our driven team members and the dedication of our franchise owners as champions of our brands. As we continue to thrive, I’m comfortable in saying that the future of Five Star Franchising is bright.” 

Being named to the Inc. 5000 comes during a time of exponential growth for Five Star Franchising. Throughout the year, the franchise platform has invested in the growth and success of its franchise owners through several multiple key hires.

• Colt Florence, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development (Five Star Franchising)
• Missy Wright, Vice President of Franchise Development (Five Star Franchising)
• Tyson Bills, Vice President of Marketing (Five Star Franchising)
• Ric Peeler, Vice President of Marketing (Five Star Franchising)
• Wanda Hoegren, Vice President of Operations (Gotcha Covered)
• David Dunsmuir, Brand President (Gotcha Covered)

In April, Five Star also acquired Card My Yard, the premier yard greeting franchise for all occasions, adding 400+ new franchise owners and increasing the platform’s footprint to over 1,500 total locations across its six franchise brands.

“It’s always exciting to see our platform grow at a high rate,” Abbott said. “By investing in the right people, we are showing the franchise community and those looking to join a franchise that we are dedicated to the success of all our brands. That’s how we grow and continue building our innovative platform – by having the right people in place. It’s our entire team that ensures we continue being ranked among the fastest-growing private companies year after year.” 

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.
