The address of each establishment in the CNPJ (Brazilian company registry) makes it possible to count how many franchise network units each street or avenue has outside shopping centers, commercial galleries and commercial centers. Of the 57,941 active establishments of the 503 measured networks, referred to here as units, 38,605 (66.6%) are at a street address under the indicator's criteria, and 1,176 streets, in 417 municipalities, have units of 5 or more networks, with no single network holding more than half of them.

The highest count is on Avenida das Américas, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), with 37 units of 26 networks and 20 categories, spread over 31 street numbers and 13 postal codes (CEP) along the avenue and over 2 declared neighborhoods, and food accounts for 11 of them. Next come Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), with 32 units of 23 networks; Rua Visconde de Pirajá, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), with 31 units of 25 networks; and Avenida Getúlio Vargas, in Feira de Santana (BA), with 29 units of 26 networks. Of the 35 streets with the most units, 20 are in state capitals, and the rest in cities such as Feira de Santana (BA), Praia Grande (SP), Atibaia (SP) and Sorriso (MT).

The streets with the most units mix categories. Among the 35 on the national list, the median is 15 categories per street, and food, together with food retail and distribution, accounts for 30.3% of units. A long avenue crosses several declared neighborhoods, with a median of 4 on this list, and for that reason the count by street does not match that of the neighborhood pages.

How we calculate

In the open CNPJ data of Receita Federal (the federal tax authority), reference month October 2026, we counted the active establishments that the observatory's census attributes to the 503 measured networks, by trade name and by the CNAE (national classification of economic activities) subclasses of the network profile. The street of each one is normalized from the declared type and name, without accents, with abbreviations expanded (AV and AVENIDA, R and RUA, DR and DOUTOR, CEL and CORONEL), without connecting words and without titles such as doutor, presidente and coronel, so that Avenida Presidente Kennedy and Avenida Kennedy are counted together. Dates written out in words become numerals (Sete de Setembro and 7 de Setembro, XV de Novembro and 15 de Novembro). Grouping is done by municipality, and an avenue that crosses more than one municipality is counted separately in each. Identical names with different types are merged only when they share a street-segment postal code, which occurred with 229 establishments.

Removed from the count, in this order, are networks at risk of namesakes and unattended micro markets installed in residential condominiums; addresses by block, sector or complex, which do not designate a street; units in shopping centers under the rule of the indicator of units in shopping centers; those that share a postal code and number with two or more establishments of any line of business that wrote shopping, mall or outlet in the registry; those whose address complement mentions a gallery, commercial center, kiosk, airport, terminal, station, subway or hypermarket; those with a large-user postal code (ending 900 to 959), which Correios (the national postal service) assigns to shopping centers, buildings and campuses; those with an apartment in the address complement; and those located at a number (or block and lot) of a street where 3 or more networks in the universe have an active unit, treated as a commercial center, gallery or office building even without the word in the complement. In total, 19,336 of the 57,941 establishments are removed, 11,579 of them under the shopping center rule, and the exclusions table below details each reason.

Establishments of the same network at the same number count once. We publish the streets with units of 5 or more distinct networks and with no network holding more than half of the units, a rule that in this reference month did not exclude any street with 5 or more networks. The national list shows the 35 with the most units, and each state capital with at least 3 streets meeting this condition shows the three with the most units, without position numbers. Brasília, Palmas and Rio Branco have no list of their own because they have fewer than 3 streets meeting this condition. A segment with fewer than 5 units on the street is not published in the cell. Categories are the observatory's, assigned to each network, and neighborhoods are those declared in the registry, counted after a simple standardization of spelling.

Calculated on November 8, 2026. Method version 1.0. Sample: 503 measured networks, 38,605 street-front units, 1,176 published streets in 417 municipalities.

What this figure does not show

The address is declared by the taxpayer and may be the company's registered address rather than the point of service. Different spellings of the same street that the standardization does not reach count as distinct streets, and different streets with the same name and the same type in the municipality count as one.
The count is of active CNPJs with the brand in the trade name, which does not equal open stores. Units registered under another trade name are left out, namesakes may be included, and only the 503 measured networks are included, without smaller regional networks and without non-franchise retail.
A shopping center, gallery or commercial center without the word in the registry and with fewer than 3 networks at the same number remains as a street address, and an office building with 3 or more networks is removed even when the units have street access. On avenues with many commercial centers, such as those in planned neighborhoods, part of the units counted may be in these centers.
The count does not take into account the length of the street, and long avenues accumulate units by their length alone. Among the 35 streets on the national list, the median is 7 postal codes per street, and the first on the list has units at 31 numbers and 13 postal codes, with no number gathering 3 or more networks, by construction of the commercial center rule.
The 2,066 establishments with addresses by block, sector or complex, common in Brasília and in planned neighborhoods, are not included, which reduces the presence of these cities on the list.
The subset differs from other indicators of the observatory. The neighborhood pages count all units, including those in shopping centers, by declared neighborhood, and the indicator of co-location between networks counts pairs of networks in the same postal code. Here the counting unit is the entire street within the municipality, which crosses neighborhoods and postal codes, excluding units in shopping centers and commercial centers.

Frequently asked questions

Which street has the most franchises in Brazil?

According to the CNPJ (Brazilian company registry) records for October 2026, Avenida das Américas, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), has 37 street-front units of 26 franchise networks measured by the observatory, outside shopping centers, commercial galleries and commercial centers, spread over 31 street numbers and 13 postal codes (CEP) along the avenue. Next come Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), with 32 units of 23 networks; Rua Visconde de Pirajá, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), with 31 units of 25 networks; and Avenida Getúlio Vargas, in Feira de Santana (BA), with 29 units of 26 networks. The count considers active CNPJs with the brand in the trade name and does not weight the length of the street, so that long avenues accumulate units across several neighborhoods.

Which street has the most franchises in São Paulo?

In São Paulo, the streets with the most street-front units of the measured franchise networks are Avenida Sapopemba, with 22 units of 21 networks; Avenida Jabaquara, with 20 units of 17 networks; and Avenida São Miguel, with 19 units of 16 networks, not counting shopping centers, commercial galleries and commercial centers. In total, 119 streets in the city have units of 5 or more networks (Receita Federal, open CNPJ data, October 2026).

Which street has the most franchises in Rio de Janeiro?

In Rio de Janeiro, the streets with the most street-front units of the measured franchise networks are Avenida das Américas, with 37 units of 26 networks; Avenida Nossa Senhora de Copacabana, with 32 units of 23 networks; and Rua Visconde de Pirajá, with 31 units of 25 networks, not counting shopping centers, commercial galleries and commercial centers. In total, 52 streets in the city have units of 5 or more networks.

What is the difference between counting franchises by street and by neighborhood?

The count by neighborhood gathers all units with the same declared neighborhood, including those in shopping centers. The count by street gathers the street-front units on the same street within the municipality, which usually crosses several neighborhoods. Among the 35 streets with the most units, the median is 4 declared neighborhoods and 7 postal codes per street.
