Acclaimed Agency Recognized on Entrepreneur’s Top Franchise Suppliers List for Seventh Year
Orange County, CA (RestaurantNews.com) Powerhouse+Co., an award-winning public relations, social media and influencer marketing agency with deep expertise in the franchise industry, has once again earned a coveted spot on Entrepreneur’s annual Top Franchise Suppliers list, marking the seventh time the firm has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading franchise public relations partners.
The prestigious ranking is featured in the September/October issue of Entrepreneur magazine and on Entrepreneur.com, highlighting standout companies across 13 categories, including public relations, that offer essential services and support to franchisors. Powerhouse+Co.’s continued inclusion on this list reinforces its reputation as a trusted communications partner to some of the nation’s most recognized franchise brands. The accolade comes at a momentous time for the agency, which is recognizing a decade in business in 2026.
“Powerhouse+Co.’s 10-year history would not have been possible without the franchise partners who have placed their trust in the agency and invited us to be part of their journeys,” said Kristin Daher, Founder and CEO of Powerhouse+Co. “Because this recognition is based on feedback from the brands we serve, it is especially meaningful and reflects the specialized franchise knowledge our team has cultivated over the past decade. We work in lockstep with our clients as an invaluable extension of their teams, understanding their business, anticipating their needs, and creating ownable moments that move brands forward.”
Entrepreneur’s Top Franchise Suppliers ranking is based on an annual survey of franchisors, from emerging brands to some of the oldest in the industry. This year, more than 1,000 franchise brands participated, reporting to Entrepreneur which suppliers they and their franchisees work with and rating their satisfaction with those suppliers’ services in the areas of quality, cost, and value. Each supplier received a score based on the survey results, and the top-scoring suppliers are ranked within their respective categories.
“The strength of a franchise system often comes down to the partners standing behind it,” says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur magazine’s editor in chief. “That’s why we survey more than 1,000 franchisors to find out which suppliers they trust most. This is a critical business decision, and every franchise should get it right.”
