Just a matter of weeks since the beginning of 2012, the Chicago-based company has already received two prestigious distinctions: Entrepreneur named it as one of the fast-growing franchises, and the Franchise Research Institute certified it as a World-Class Franchise.
In particular, from rank 41 in 2011, the company moved up to number 21 in Entrepreneur’s 2012 Franchise 500 as it added 80 units to its network. Firms that made Entrepreneur’s esteemed list of fastest-growing franchises are marked based on the number of units operating across the United States and Canada from July 31, 2010 to July 31, 2011.

BrightStar’s inclusion as one of the 25 World-Class Franchises for 2012 by the Franchise Research Institute is based on the breadth of its franchise program to meet franchisee’s specific needs. According to the Institute, the companies it recognizes “must receive high scores in areas such as opening support, consistent communication between franchisor and franchisees, initial and ongoing training provided to franchisees, product/service quality, and dedication to overall company excellence.” Shelley Sun, co-founder and CEO of the healthcare staffing company, views the recognition as no less than an honor since it is based on how their franchisees view their experience as franchise owners.
