In the newly-released, 2011 Entrepreneur Franchise 500 Rankings, the Jan-Pro Brand receives a dominating report card, with 4 major rankings: #11 Overall Top Franchise, #2 Fastest-Growing, #3 Home-Based and #3 Low-Cost.
Alpharetta, GA December 13, 2010 — Jan-Pro International, Inc. (Jan-Pro), a global leader in commercial cleaning, today graciously accepted the honor of receiving top rankings in all four major categories in the highly-acclaimed Franchise 500 Rankings by Entrepreneur Magazine.
The Top Franchise 500 Overall Rankings have been perfected over 31 years. Exceeding important criteria to determine rankings, such as financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system, Jan-Pro once again this year garnered an impressive overall ranking at number 11.
Combined with Jan-Pro’s rankings of #2 fastest-growing, #3 home-based and #3 low-cost, the brand is among a very select group of only a few established, large franchise companies receiving these top recognitions over the past decade.
“The only way a company can maintain a leadership position in the highly-competitive commercial cleaning industry, is to be committed to self-improvement,” said Rich Kissane, President & CEO, Jan-Pro. “It is a top priority in our company to always provide the best business systems, the best new and unique services, and a display of leadership through our everyday actions. The Jan-Pro Brand stands for all these things.”
Many industry experts agree with Kissane, as each year, Jan-Pro is recognized in the Top 40 Best Franchises for African Americans by Black Enterprise, in the Top 50 Franchises for Minorities by USA Today, in the TOP 25 Franchises for Hispanics by Poder, and in the Top 10 of Franchise Business Review’s list, a highly-distinguished award, reflecting Jan-Pro’s dedicated relationship and success between corporate and regional offices. It is clear that the industry notices and recognizes the company’s accomplishments.
Unique introductions of services and a history of firsts define the leadership character of the Jan-Pro Brand. One example is the recent launch of Jan-Pro’s exclusive EnviroShield disinfectant system. Well-followed in the international press, EnviroShield has become a high-demand service, one only available from Jan-Pro.
“We pride ourselves on launching new, unique services that offer important benefits to our customers,” continued Kissane. “Our EnviroShield System is the perfect service that disinfects and fights harmful contaminants, even the deadly MRSA bacteria. It’s the kind of cleaning service expected from Jan-Pro. And the results it produces doesn’t disappoint. We make sure of that.”
What’s behind a powerful leading Brand? All the things that define a Brand’s accomplishments on a year-in and year-out basis. For the Jan-Pro Brand, it looks like 2011 will be another great year.
