HomeWell Franchising Earns Its Spot on Inc. 5000 for 5 th Straight Year with 113% Three-Year Growth
BURKBURNETT, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HomeWell Franchising, Inc., the parent company of HomeWell Care Services and a leader in non-medical home care, has secured its place once again on Inc. Magazine's annual Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies — an achievement HomeWell first achieved in 2021. Ranked No. 3,460 for 2025 — up more than 150 spots from 2024 — HomeWell continues to achieve triple-digit growth rates more than two decades after it began franchising in 2003. Only 3.6% of companies in the list's history have earned a spot five years in a row. "The Inc. 5000 often showcases early-stage businesses in rapid expansion mode, so to be recognized year after year, more than 20 years into our franchising journey and now more than 100 operating agencies nationwide, is particularly meaningful." Share 'The Inc. 5000 often showcases early-stage businesses in rapid expansion mode, so to be recognized year after year, more than 20 years into our franchising journey and now more than 100 operating agencies nationwide, is particularly meaningful,' said Crystal Franz, CEO of HomeWell Franchising. 'Joining just 3.6% of all-time honorees to appear five consecutive times — all while sustaining over 100% three-year growth and even increasing our ranking each time — is quite a feat. It's an extraordinary testament to our franchise owners, our corporate team, and the strength of our model.' The Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private businesses in America, is a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment — its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. This year's Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. 'Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company's tenacity and clarity of vision,' says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. 'These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn't just weather the storm — they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.' It's HomeWell's spirit, drive, and resilience that have led the company to outpace its performance year after year. In 2024, the company accomplished its long-term goal of reaching 100 franchise owners nationwide and exceeding $100 million in annual system-wide revenue — a 30.8% increase from 2023. Then, in just the first half of 2025, HomeWell welcomed 20 new franchise owners and opened 17 new locations, outpacing Q1 and Q2 of 2024. The franchise is currently on track to see its strongest year yet, with an anticipated $180 million in system revenue by year's end.

With franchise signings on pace with last year's record-setting total, a substantial increase in agency openings, and major national partnerships formed, HomeWell continues to deepen its national footprint and its reputation as a trusted leader in non-medical home care. "2025 is shaping up to be one of the most defining years in our history," said Crystal Franz, CEO of HomeWell Franchising. "We're seeing growth on every front—more owners joining our network, more agencies opening their doors, and more families gaining access to the care they need. Behind these numbers are dedicated franchise owners and team members who are turning our mission into reality every day. Together, we're building a brand that not only meets the rising demand for in-home care but sets a new standard for what that care can be." Q1 and Q2 Franchise Growth Highlights (YTD): 20 new franchise owners signed, matching 2024's record-breaking pace 17 new locations opened—a 21% increase from Q1 & Q2 2024 4 expansions resulting in 13 total units (territories) awarded—more than triple the mid-year expansion total in 2024 $78.6 million in system revenue through Q1 and Q2 alone—an increase of over 20% year-over-year "We are seeing strong financial growth through the first half of 2025, reflecting continued momentum across the network," said Casey McCleskey, CFO of HomeWell Franchising. "Based on current trends, we anticipate 2025 system revenue to approach $180 million, far exceeding last year's record. And we're already seeing that trajectory continue into the second half of the year." In July alone, HomeWell signed 8 new franchise agreements, resulting in 9 additional territories—the highest number ever awarded in a single month for the brand. The same month also saw the opening of 5 new agencies, bringing the year-to-date total to 22, with several more slated to open in August. With a strong pipeline of new agencies in place and several more openings slated in August and throughout the rest of 2025, Q3 and Q4 are on track to potentially surpass the signing totals from the first half of the year and easily surpass 30 new agency openings by year's end. "We're seeing unprecedented interest in our franchise opportunity," said Mike Condon, Vice President of Franchise Development. "The fact that we set a new monthly record in July—and still have a robust pipeline of prospective owners—speaks to the strength of our brand, the demand for the meaningful business opportunity we provide, and the trust people place in us as a franchisor. We're building momentum that will carry us into what may be our strongest year yet."

HomeWell is also participating in the Alzheimer's Association's Walk to End Alzheimer's® as a Company Team this year, rallying its national network in support of a cause that impacts many of the families it serves. "Our partnerships reflect a future-focused approach to care delivery," said Michelle Cone, HomeWell Franchising's Senior Vice President of Industry Engagement. "They provide our agencies with more tools to serve clients and reinforce our role in the broader care continuum.
