Where is Baskin Robbins on the 2007 Franchise 500?
I don't see Baskin Robbins anywhere on the top Franchise 500 list in 2007. What happened to them? I am considering buying a Baskin Robbins Franchise and want to know if they are still a good franchise, or if something changed to drop them off the list completely in 2007.

Participation in the Franchise 500 is voluntary. Baskin Robbins received several mailings from us, but did not submit the necessary information to be included, so we could not consider them for the 2007 rankings.
As an executive editor for Entrepreneur magazine, Maria Anton oversees the franchise content for both the magazine and website, including the annual Franchise 500 listing and the Franchise Zone. With more than 20 years of experience with the company, she also handles the magazine's special listings, such as Entrepreneur's Hot 500 and Top Entrepreneurial College rankings.
