Tracy Stapp joined Entrepreneur’s editorial team in 2003, after graduating with a degree in English from UC Irvine (go Anteaters!). As Special Projects Editor, she handles all franchise-related matters, including the annual Franchise 500 ranking. When she’s not driving her friends and family crazy playing “Franchise Bingo” (patent pending), she’ll be blogging about the latest news and trends in the world of franchising.
