“We’re thrilled to land on Entrepreneur’s prestigious Franchise 500 once again and are looking forward to further growing the brand this year,” said Mark Cantin, president and CEO of Brightway. “Brightway was extremely successful in 2021, and we look forward to continuing our national expansion this year as we invest in new resources that will empower franchisees to reach their potential.”
