Chicago – September 23, 2026 -- Fishman Public Relations has been named the No. 1 franchise PR firm in Entrepreneur magazine's Top Franchise Suppliers ranking for the ninth consecutive year, based on a survey of more than 1,000 franchise brands.
Entrepreneur's survey scores suppliers on quality, cost and value across the franchise industry
The annual ranking draws on responses from franchisors and franchisees who rate the suppliers they work with, covering both emerging brands and long-established chains. Each supplier receives a composite score, with top performers ranked within their category.
Fishman PR also clears Worldcom Public Relations Group's peer review process
Beyond the Entrepreneur recognition, Fishman PR this year passed a rigorous peer review by the Worldcom Public Relations Group, a partnership of independently owned PR firms operating 110 offices and employing roughly 2,000 people across 45 countries. The review assessed strategic approach, client satisfaction and Worldcom partner performance, with the firm scoring strongly across all three categories.
Firm's leadership credits combined media, digital and crisis communications offering
Founded in 1991, Fishman PR provides franchise opportunity PR, grand opening PR packages, content marketing, SEO and AI-search visibility management, digital and influencer marketing, and crisis communications. CEO Brad Fishman said the firm's approach rests on "doing great work and building meaningful relationships."
Entrepreneur editor-in-chief Jason Feifer said the magazine surveys more than 1,000 franchisors annually to identify which suppliers they trust most, calling supplier selection "a critical business decision." The Top Franchise Suppliers list appears in Entrepreneur's September/October issue, on newsstands September 22.
