Charleys Philly Steak Sandwich Franchise Earns High Spot on Franchise 500 Rankings

Entrepreneur magazine highlights iconic Philly steak sandwich franchise as one of the best franchise opportunities for 2021

Charleys Philly Steaks sandwich franchise ranks high on the list of Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500® for 2021.

Widely regarded as the most prestigious list in franchising, this year, making the Franchise 500 means even more as a record-breaking number of brands applied to make the cut.

The ranking measures franchise opportunities on the basis of size, growth, financial performance, support and brand recognition to determine if the brand is worthy of inclusion.

As the largest Philly steak franchise in the world, Charleys more than measures up. With a trailblazing new partnership with Walmart, which will see new Charleys locations opening up inside select Walmart stores across the country, as well as a new mobile app, which is driving sales and making ordering easier than ever before, now is a very exciting time to be a part of the iconic cheese steak franchise. With new updates to the menu, as well as continued investment in support, Charleys is poised for strong growth in 2021.

“We’ve been growing at about 60 stores a year for the past several years, and about 70% of our growth comes from our existing franchisees reinvesting in the brand – which is extremely positive,” says Charley Shin, CEO and founder. “We exist to help our franchisees become successful in business, and we want to help as many entrepreneurs as we can. This brand has never been more successful than it is today, and we’ve never been more excited about the future.”
