These North Holland franchise networks are primarily mid-sized retail and food service companies, alongside a few in specialized services. HEMA, founded in 1926, offers self-designed products, while SPAR International is a global grocery chain. New York Pizza and Five Guys International are prominent in fast food. Saar aan Huis Nederland provides elder care, and De Hypotheekshop offers financial advice.

Tamtam finds the decision-makers at every company on a list like this one, with verified emails, phone numbers and the buying signals that tell you when to reach out.
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.
