Franchise FastLane Marks Eighth Year on Entrepreneur Top Supplier List

Since its founding in 2017 by Carey Gille and Ryan Zink, the firm has prioritized an intentional growth model, helping to award more than 10,000 units and placing over 3,900 entrepreneurs into ownership. CEO Heather Harris credits this consistent industry recognition to the company’s ability to manage growth from the initial concept through to exit. The firm provides a comprehensive service suite that includes territory mapping, compliance oversight, and a proprietary technology stack designed to streamline expansion.

To accommodate diverse business needs, the organization recently introduced a three-tiered service structure. Franchisors may now select from hands-on training for internal teams, fractional development support, or a traditional full-service model. This flexibility is supplemented by the MasterMind program, a collaborative forum where industry leaders exchange strategies on operational improvements and long-term scaling. By focusing on these specific development stages, the company continues to position itself as a central partner for emerging brands across the United States.
