The food industry has succeeded in channeling the strength of chains into lucrative restaurant franchises. This is apparent in the results of Entrepreneur magazine's 2015 Franchise 500, a list of the strongest and most financially sound franchises across all industries. Of the 500 franchises included, 104 were quick-service restaurants. This group comprised the largest industry segment on the list. When combined with full-service restaurants, which accounted for 3 percent of the list, and retail food sales, at 1.8 percent, food franchises accounted for more than 25 percent of the top 500 franchises as ranked by Entrepreneur magazine.
