Franchise Gator slotted The Grounds Guys as one of the fastest growing franchises in 2015, ranking it in third place on its Fastest Growing Franchises list.

The franchise research site released this list along with its Franchise Gator Top 100 list in January.

“The research that went into the Franchise Gator Top 100 identified two subgroups that we felt should be highlighted,” said Eric Bell, general manager of Franchise Gator. “For the Fastest Growing Franchises list, we identified 34 franchises based on the number of opening and operating units over the past several years. Additionally, we feel these brands have been successful in building a solid customer base and gaining the trust of investors. Therefore we feel this makes them sound investments for potential franchisees.”

Three of The Grounds Guys’ sister companies at The Dwyer Group also ranked on the Franchise Gator Top 100 list—The Grounds Guys was the only brand to rank on the Fastest Growing Franchises list. The company, which began franchising in 2010, now has almost 200 franchises in the U.S.

“We are honored to be recognized by Franchise Gator as a fast growing franchise,” said Chris Elmore, president of The Grounds Guys. “We are extremely pleased with our current rate of growth. It is truly an honor to offer this business opportunity to a growing number of entrepreneurs seeking business success in the franchise industry.”
