We can't wait to carry this momentum into 2017 and beyond."
AtWork Group is a leader in the staffing industry, its cutting-edge solutions and initiatives for franchisees, clients and employees helped the company expand to nearly 100 locations throughout the U.S. with gross sales of more than $250 million.

We're proud of the result and the way it continues to be a resource for the franchise community," says Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur. "Like every industry, franchising is ever-evolving and must smartly react to new technologies and consumer demands. We know it takes a lot to stay competitive and are excited to celebrate those that do it best."
