Franchises in Tennessee

The state of Tennessee boasts a favorable economic outlook, with a projected GDP growth rate of 2.5% over the next three years. The Volunteer State’s growing population, which is projected to reach over 7 million people by 2025, is a key driver of Tennessee’s financial health. Tennessee had the 8th highest net migration of all U.S. states in 2022, with roughly 82K more people moving into the state than leaving the state in the period, in part due to its exceptionally low personal tax burden.
