THE start of 2010 is already shaping up as a dynamic year for the world’s largest commercial cleaning franchisor, Jani-King, with the number 10 being a fortuitous sign.

Jani-King Australasia is celebrating the return of the franchisor to the Top 10 list of franchised companies as ranked by the globally renowned “Entrepreneur” magazine’s “Franchise 500.” The magazine’s
January 2010 edition ranks Jani-King #8 among all 500 franchisors, up from the 15th spot in 2009, and retains its place for the 23rd year as the “#1 Commercial Cleaning Franchise Company.”

Jani-King also remained the “#1 Home-based Franchise” and was rated one of the “10 Greatest Franchises under $USD20,000 and #2 in the “Low-Cost Investment” category.

Jani-King Australasia General Manager, Mark Gosling, said re-entering “Entrepreneur’s” Top 10 franchise companies list was a great achievement for the franchisor.

“Entrepreneur Magazine is obviously one of the best sources for anyone who considers themselves to be an “entrepreneur” looking for the best in investment or career opportunities,” he said.

“All companies in the Franchise 500 issue are judged by the same criteria which includes objective and quantifiable measures of a franchise operation, financial strength and stability, growth rate and the size of the system. It’s promoted as the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking.

“To be recognized as the “#1 Commercial Cleaning Franchise Company” for the 23rd year is a remarkable testament to Jani-King’s program, franchisees and the commitment of our regional office teams across Australia and New Zealand.

“Jani-King Australasia is the largest Jani-King region outside of the USA, with over 1,100 franchisees who service over 3,000 customers and that number grows daily.”

Mr Gosling said in 2009 Jani-King celebrated its 40th anniversary which the company promoted throughout the year.

“The Franchisee 500 ranking and being back in the top 10 provides us with another opportunity to promote ourselves and our achievements in the New Year,” he said. “We are very excited
about growing our franchise numbers across Australia and New Zealand in 2010 and adding more customers to our portfolio.”
