COSTA MESA, Calif. – (August 3, 2010) - The World Franchising Network (WFN) has compiled its annual list of the Top 26 Franchises for Hispanics and El Pollo Loco, the nation’s flame-grilled chicken leader, has made the list for the first time.



The results were published in the July issue of PODER Magazine, the successor to Hispanic Enterprise. A copy of the 6-page article can be found here.



The WFN developed the list based on a rigorous analysis of several factors, including historical performance, brand identification, franchisee satisfaction, training, on-going support and financial stability. Another important determinant is the percentage of existing franchises that are Hispanic-owned, as well as the number of Hispanics in the franchisor’s top levels of management.
