Jan-Pro Cleaning Systems

Commercial cleaning is a $100 billion industry that has nearly doubled in size over the last eight years. Jan-Pro Cleaning Systems is a major force in this industry, with sales of over $175 million and almost 7,000 franchisees nationally. Recently named the #1 Fastest Growing Franchise by Entrepreneur magazine, Jan-Pro is known for its commitment to exceptional quality and service in addition to its impressive growth.

 

Jan-Pro’s franchise program relies on a decentralized management structure in which Regional Master Franchise Owners act as franchisors in their market. These franchisors award unit franchises, whose owners are then responsible for serving clients. Master Franchise Owners identify and bid on new clients, and manage current clients and unit franchisees.  Jan-Pro support services provide comprehensive training and proven tools and techniques, leaving master and unit franchisees free to manage and clean effectively.
