For the eighth year in a row, PrideStaff has earned a place on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2025 Top Franchises for Veterans list, ranking No. 83 among the nation’s leading franchise opportunities for former service members.
The recognition underscores PrideStaff’s long-standing commitment to helping military veterans transition into business ownership—offering them a proven model, national-scale resources, and the autonomy to build thriving local staffing firms.
Entrepreneur’s annual list evaluates franchises based on veteran incentives, franchisee satisfaction, growth performance, and support systems. PrideStaff’s consistent inclusion speaks to the durability of its model and the strong community of franchise owners it has cultivated nationwide.
“Veterans bring leadership, discipline, and a strong sense of service to everything they do—qualities that make them exceptional business owners,” said Paula Pizarro, CFE, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development at PrideStaff. “We’re honored to once again be recognized as a top franchise for veterans and proud to provide them the resources and support to thrive in staffing.”
Building Businesses That Serve Communities
With more than 45 years of staffing expertise, PrideStaff offers franchisees a unique blend of independence and infrastructure. The company’s model combines extensive training, innovative technology, and national operational support with the local focus that clients and job seekers value.
For veterans, the franchise model is a natural fit. The skills honed in military service—leadership, mission focus, and the ability to execute under pressure—translate directly into managing teams, building client relationships, and delivering workforce solutions in dynamic labor markets.
Pizarro added that the company’s ongoing recognition “validates the strength of our franchise program and the incredible impact our veteran owners make.” PrideStaff’s franchise system allows veterans to achieve financial independence, continue serving their communities, and play a vital role in connecting people to meaningful work.
Why It Matters
Veterans now represent one of the fastest-growing groups of franchise owners in the U.S., drawn by structured yet flexible business models and the sense of purpose that entrepreneurship can provide after military service.
By maintaining its position on Entrepreneur’s list for nearly a decade, PrideStaff stands out not just as a top-performing staffing franchise—but as a launchpad for veterans seeking lasting careers in business ownership.
