With over 11,000 franchise units and more than 120 regional support offices in 19 countries, Jani-King has positioned itself as one of the world’s top ranked commercial cleaning franchise companies.
The company has found its latest success in announcing their ranking as 1st ranked commercial cleaning franchise by Franchise Direct. The franchising source also awarded the place of 18th overall franchise among all listed in the top 100 to Jani-King.
“We’re proud of this latest accolade for our system and commitment that supports more than 11,000 unit franchise owners,” said Jerry Crawford, President of Jani-King International, in a news release. “Franchise Direct has its pulse on the franchise industry and presents information on outstanding business opportunities to entrepreneurs wanting to be their own boss while having the support of a successful franchise system behind them.”
The top 100 Global Franchises were selected from thousands that are invested in international expansion strategies. They were ranked using measurable criteria including sales revenue for the system, market expansion, stability and growth, and system size based on numbers of units. Additionally, the rankings take into consideration environmental policies, social responsibility and best practice in franchisee support and training.
Environmental policies are something Jani-King has been focusing some effort on for a while now in a move to make the company greener and ultimately, more sanitary.
“Historically, we’ve been known as just a regular commercial cleaning franchise company,” said Ted Looney, vice president of Jani-King Franchising, Inc. “Now we’ve expanded and hired experts in fields such as environmental services for hospitals and doctors’ offices so that we now have an environmental services program that’s certified and recognized by healthcare professionals as being a great way to clean the facilities to combat infections and things of that nature.”
This isn’t the only market that Jani-King has seen expansion in. According to Looney, since 2008, the company has been gaining a great deal of traction in the cleaning services industry for both schools and sporting institutions.
“We now [clean] many sport venues, such as the Dallas Cowboy’s stadium, Washington Redskins, Buffalo Bills, a lot of professional basketball, as well as AAA and Major League Baseball. We’re putting our franchisees into larger, more prestigious accounts so that that we can give them a sustainable business that they can operate.”
While this can make it sound like Jani-King is as much about play as it is work, Looney cautioned that what the company is looking for are professionals.
“We’re not looking for people who are buying a job,” Looney said. “We want someone that wants to invest money and become successful and active in the commercial cleaning business in a significant way.”
