Hello everyone, I am currently stuck contemplating opening a new buisiness. I was wondering if there is a list of some of the Top grossing small buisiness, maybe a link to a website that would show the annual income ( or a projected outcome) Even one that includes franchised buisinesses. I'm kinda stuck on the whole ' original idea' and I would rather play it safer* with a product or service that is selling well and will be in demand for the next 10 years+. Can somebody help me out? I'm just asking for the annual top grossers of the US, I can do more reasearch that way, ( can i do this, would i want to, will i enjoy it?.....) ty! ! !

This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics offers insight into data they call 'Tomorrow's Jobs.' The industries section of Tomorrow's Jobs may be particularly interesting to you, as it forecasts growth and employment in various industries. The data here is from the 2008-2009 Occupational Outlook Handbook. Information on franchises
You may also be interested in these resources for business leaders which provide statisitcs on identifying new markets and comparing different businesses across industries.
I hope you find these resources to be a helpful start.
