Franchise Support and Growth Rate Major Factors in Franchise 500 Listing

St. Louis, MO – Rug Décor, the nation’s leading rug retail franchise, announces it’s inaugural ranking in the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 listing, with an overall ranking of No. 369 on the esteemed list.

“Rug Décor fills a gap in the home furnishings market by offering a huge selection of quality area rugs at great prices,” said Mark Jameson, vice president of franchise development with Rug Décor. “Our ranking points to our ability to offer a valuable investment for entrepreneurs looking for a proven, successful concept.”

Entrepreneur considers many factors in determining its rankings. Among the most important criteria are financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system. Also considered are the number of years in business and length of time franchising, start-up costs, litigation, percentage of terminations and whether the company provides financing. All companies, regardless of size, are judged by the same criteria.

“Rug Decor is quickly becoming the nation’s leading area rug destination and raising the bar in specialty retailing,” said Scott Hayim, president of Rug Decor. “Our dedication to perfecting our turnkey business model will continue to play a great role as Rug Décor continues its growth.”

The company plans to have a strong placement in the ranking again in 2009 due to the company’s strong national expansion strategies.
