# 32 leading franchise networks in North Holland

Tamtam tracks 32 franchise networks headquartered in North Holland. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by HEMA, SPAR International and PBH. Their median headcount is 231. Half of them were founded in 2005 or later. The most common headquarters are Amsterdam (20), Amstelveen (5) and Haarlem (2).

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.

A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in Amsterdam, with most companies located there. Amstelveen also hosts several firms, including New York Pizza and Van Poelgeest BMW & MINI. The companies listed show a mix of long-established businesses, like HEMA and SPAR, and more recent ventures such as Saar aan Huis Nederland, founded in 2013.

## 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.
