Pioneering leader of active fryer management and environmental kitchen sustainability recognized for unit growth, financial strength, stability, and brand power
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Filta Environmental Kitchen Solutions (Filta), the pioneering leader of active fryer management and environmental kitchen sustainability across the food and hospitality industries, was recognized as one of the top 500 franchises in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500®, the world's first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, the 2023 Franchise 500® ranks Filta for its outstanding performance in several areas, including unit growth, financial strength, stability, and brand power. Over its 44 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees.
"To be ranked for another consecutive year is a testament to the strength of our franchise system," said Tom Dunn, Filta CEO. "Recently, our company has experienced tremendous growth by successfully growing in new and existing markets while helping our owners maximize the services they offer their customers. With more than $100 million in network revenue annually and more than 130 franchisees recycling in excess of 5 million gallons of waste cooking oil per year from thousands of commercial kitchens nationwide, Filta is a brand on the move, and this recognition affirms our leadership position."
There are about 4,000 total franchise concepts operating today in the United States. Filta was recognized in the maintenance category and ranked #317 of 500 in the publication's annual listing.
In Entrepreneur's continuing effort to best understand and evaluate the ever-changing franchise marketplace, the company's 44-year-old ranking formula also continues to evolve. The editorial team researches and assesses several factors that go into the evaluation, including costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.
Filta makes commercial kitchens safer, more efficient, and more environmentally sustainable by micro-filtering existing cooking oil, providing bin-free waste oil collection, deep cleaning fryers, and recycling waste oil. Customers range from single and chain restaurants to commercial kitchens inside casinos, hospitals, hotels, groceries, universities, business facilities, stadiums (NFL, NCAA, MLB, NHL), and more. Filta has recycled nearly 1 billion pounds of used cooking oil into biodiesel, significantly reducing the impact of waste fryer oil on the environment. For every gallon of biodiesel put into use, Filta prevents 16 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere.
"The past year underscores the extraordinary opportunities that the franchise industry presents for entrepreneurs of all levels," says Entrepreneur editor-in-chief Jason Feifer. "The companies named to our 44th annual Franchise 500 list represent some of the most innovative, creative, and trusted brands across many industries and highlight what it takes to build the kind of momentum that drives long-lasting success."
