Press Releases

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its remarkable run of success, The Joint^® Corp. (NASDAQ: JYNT), a national operator, manager and franchisor of chiropractic clinics, has ranked #10 on the Franchise Times 2016 Fast and Serious list.

"The 40 brands on the Franchise Times Fast and Serious list are the smartest-growing franchises in the United States. Their CEOs drive impressive sales and unit growth, that's true, but in our eyes what's more important is the growth is sustainable over a three-year period," said Beth Ewen, editor-in-chief of Franchise Times. "Franchise Times Fast and Serious is the only ranking that considers three years' worth of data, to eliminate brands that might soar one year but then fade the next. The Joint Chiropractic joins a strong group of 40 franchises that take a long-term view toward growth."

It is the first time The Joint has appeared on the prestigious list, which recognizes fast-growing franchise systems that also have staying power. The top of the list is typically dominated by food franchisors, making The Joint's achievement even more remarkable.

"In the past, The Joint was considered too small to even be on the list, much less be in the Top 10," said John Richards, chief executive officer of The Joint Corp., and former president of North American Operations for Starbucks Coffee Company. "To debut so high is a testament to both our consumer-friendly business model and the exceptional team we have assembled to get franchisees up, running and successful faster than other types of businesses. We are proud to have our efforts recognized with this latest honor."

Earlier this year, The Joint was ranked #1 among health services franchisors on the Entrepreneur 2016 FRANCHISE 500 list.

As of March 16, 2016, there were 328 The Joint Chiropractic clinics nationwide. The company is actively seeking franchisees in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

Franchise Times "Fast and Serious" is an exclusive ranking to identify fast-growing franchise systems that also have staying power. Using the Franchise Times Top 200+ database of 500 franchise brands ranked by annual sales, Franchise Times created a 10-point proprietary formula, including percentage sales and unit growth over a three-year period. The ranking is in the March issue of Franchise Times, and available at www.franchisetimes.com.
