These Michigan-based franchise networks operate across diverse sectors, predominantly in food service, but also in transportation, healthcare, and automotive. The companies range from well-established brands like Little Caesars Pizza, a family-owned pizza chain, and TWO MEN AND A TRUCK®, a franchised moving company, to newer ventures such as Tommy's Express® Car Wash, an innovative car wash franchise. The list also includes Hungry Howie's Pizza and BIGGBY COFFEE, both prominent food service franchises.

How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
