Are you trying to determine the best franchises to own in Texas? Discover the top five franchise industries that perform well in the Texas market — and why they’re thriving.
Texas is the nation’s second-largest state, and the U.S. Census Bureau reports its population grew by nearly half a million people last year. Texas is the No. 1 state for franchise growth, according to the International Franchise Association. The number of franchises in the Lone Star state is forecasted to jump 3.3% in 2024 to 82,463, versus 79,860 last year. The state’s robust economy, low taxes, and limited business regulations make it a great place to pursue entrepreneurship.
Here are some of the best franchises to own in Texas by industry:
- Auto repair franchise: While many Texas cities are committed to improving public transportation, limited options make a car a necessity in most places. Seven of the U.S. cities with the highest percentage of households with vehicles are located in Texas. In League City near Houston, 99% of households own a car, according to TitleMax. Auto repair franchises are recession-resistant and in high demand as car owners hold onto their vehicles for longer than ever. S&P Global reports the average age of cars on the road hit a record high of 12.6 years in 2024.
- Window tinting franchise: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration anticipates temperatures will be above average again this summer. As air conditioners kick into high gear, customers are searching for ways to trim their electric bills. Experts estimate electric bills to climb nearly 8% this summer. The state’s intense sunlight and scorching temperatures drive demand for window tinting services, as residents and businesses seek to reduce heat and protect their interiors from sun damage.
- Pet care franchise: Pet care franchises are booming. Americans spent $147 billion on their pets in 2023. While millennials still account for the majority of pet owners, the number of Gen Z pet owners is on the rise, according to the American Pet Products Association.
- Fitness franchise: The fitness industry is strong in Texas, making it perfect for fitness franchises. From gyms to boutique fitness studios, there are plenty of opportunities.
- Niche food and beverage: The food and beverage industry remains a favorite among franchisees due to consistent demand and prime market growth. Texas’s thriving economy and strong suburban appeal make it an ideal location for restaurants and cafes. Foodservice is a competitive market, and you’ll need to find a niche brand to be successful.
