Honoring Veterans and Building Futures through Franchising

Entrepreneur magazine has once again named Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning one of its Top Franchises for Veterans—a recognition that underscores the company’s ongoing commitment to helping those who’ve served the nation build strong local businesses upon returning from service.

This marks the eighth consecutive year that Oxi Fresh has earned a place on Entrepreneur’s annual list. Previous rankings include #115 in 2024, #123 in 2023, #120 in 2022, #121 in 2021, #108 in 2020, #100 in 2019, and #57 in 2018.

With roughly 3.9 million readers, Entrepreneur is one of the most respected voices in the global business community. Each year, the publication reviews thousands of franchise systems to identify those that offer exceptional opportunities for veterans based on affordability, performance, and franchisee support.

“Being recognized once again by Entrepreneur as a top franchise for veterans is a true honor for our entire team,” said Oxi Fresh’s founder and CEO, Jonathan Barnett. “We take great pride in helping veterans transition from serving their country to serving their communities as business owners in the Oxi Fresh system.”

Oxi Fresh’s consistent inclusion on this list reflects not only the strength of its business model but also its deep appreciation for the values veterans bring to entrepreneurship—discipline, teamwork, integrity, and community service. Since 2020, nearly 20% of new franchise owners entering the Oxi Fresh system have been veterans.
