Kumon rises up the rankings

Kumon has bagged itself an impressive position on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top 500 Franchises list for 2019.

Kumon is one of the world’s largest education franchises, delivering its specialist tutoring programme to more than 4.3 million children across the globe. So, it’s no surprise that it’s made a big impact on one of the world’s most influential and respected franchise ranking lists.

The Entrepreneur magazine Top 500 Franchises list is released every year and evaluates franchises based on more than 150 criteria, including franchise cost, total investment required, rate of growth and franchisee training and support throughout their business journey. Kumon has previously secured a place on the widely respected list but managed to jump an incredible six places on this year’s ranking, placing it at number 14. This makes the education franchise one of the top 15 franchise opportunities in the world, a prestigious position that its thousands of franchisees are likely to agree with.

The list is Entrepreneur’s 40th and is widely considered to be the most comprehensive franchise ranking in the world. It takes into account not only the financial success of a franchise, but how well it supports its fledgling franchisees and enables them to build and develop a successful business that lets them achieve their career goals. The incredibly high ranking nestles the education franchise among household names including McDonalds, Dunkin’, Taco Bell and Planet Fitness, showing that Kumon is one of the best franchises in the world across the board.

With 60 years of experience behind it and the world-renowned methods of gifted educator Toru Kumon providing a solid foundation for its franchisees, Kumon helps children of all abilities reach their potential. From struggling children who need a little more help to keep up, to gifted children who are looking to reach for the stars, Kumon’s unique programme is designed to help everyone.
