Thunderly Once Again Named a Top Franchise Supplier by Entrepreneur Magazine

Franchise marketing agency recognized for helping brands grow and connecting people with opportunities to achieve the American Dream through franchising

ALLEN, Texas, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thunderly, a full-service franchise marketing agency, has once again been recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the nation’s Top Franchise Suppliers.

The annual Top Franchise Suppliers ranking recognizes companies that provide critical services to franchisors and franchisees across the industry. Entrepreneur magazine develops the ranking by surveying more than 1,000 franchise brands and asking them to evaluate suppliers based on the quality, cost and value of their services.

Thunderly’s continued recognition reflects more than 25 years of working alongside franchise brands to build awareness, generate qualified opportunities and support sustainable growth.

“Being recognized again by Entrepreneur is especially meaningful because this ranking is shaped by feedback from the franchise community we serve,” said Scott White, CEO of Thunderly. “Our work is about sharing the stories of people who have the ambition to pursue the American Dream of owning their own business. As our industry and the way people discover brands continue to evolve, we are committed to leading the evolution with them while staying grounded in that mission.”

That mission is taking center stage in 2026 through American Dreamers: The Stories of Franchising, Thunderly’s year-long campaign celebrating the entrepreneurs and franchise owners behind the brands it serves. Running through June 2027, the campaign shares the stories of real business owners from across the country, highlighting the different paths that led them to franchise ownership and the opportunities they have created for themselves, their families and their communities.

At the same time, Thunderly continues to advance how it helps franchise brands reach those future owners through its proprietary AIM Model© (Amplified Integrated Marketing). Developed in direct response to the rise of AI-generated search and large language models (LLMs), the AIM Model is designed to help brands maintain control of their messaging through a highly adaptable approach to marketing. Through AIM, Thunderly brings together public relations, digital marketing, creative, content and franchise development strategy to create stronger connections between brands and prospective franchisees.

The latest recognition marks the eighth time Thunderly has been named to Entrepreneur‘s Top Franchise Suppliers list, underscoring the agency’s longstanding reputation as a trusted partner to franchise brands and its continued commitment to driving growth across the industry.
