Which Franchise Industries Make Sense in 2026?

As more ETA searchers explore franchising as a path to acquisition, choosing the right industry has become just as important as choosing the right deal.

In this webinar, Connor Groce, franchise consultant with a focus on ETA, breaks down today’s most common franchise industries through the lens of an acquisition entrepreneur.

Topics include:

• How industries like senior care, restoration, pet care, fitness, wellness, beauty, and home services compare
• The pros and cons of each category for acquisition-minded entrepreneurs
• Which industries tend to work well for franchising and which don’t
• How to think about industry selection heading into 2026
• Live Q&A with Connor Groce

While this session has a franchise theme, the characteristics and variables taught will help any searcher find clarity around industry selection, even if they’re searching outside the scope of franchises.
