PrideStaff is a staffing services franchise operating since 1995, offering temporary, temp-to-hire, and direct hire staffing solutions. The franchise model is unique as PrideStaff serves as the employer of record for temporary associates, with franchisees receiving a share of gross margin rather than paying traditional royalties. The system shows concerning trends with declining unit count (75 units in 2024 vs 86 in 2022) and relatively high closure rates. Investment ranges from $99,750-$230,700 depending on program type (Standard vs Semi-Absentee). The franchise offers exclusive territories based on employee population (50,000-200,000) and requires full-time owner involvement for the Standard Program. Financial performance data shows wide variation in results, with average gross billings of $2.8M but significant range from $360K to $13M. The franchisor retains 35% of gross margin or minimum 6% of net billings, which is higher than typical franchise royalties.
