Jan-Pro offers high quality and professional cleaning services at the best possible prices and using the latest technology in the industry. The commercial cleaning franchise company utilizes a decentralized management structure, which is one of the underlying factors for the company’s success and robust growth. While unit franchise owners are responsible for serving clients, master franchise owners act as regional managers who award and manage unit franchises and bring in new clients. Jan-Pro provides comprehensive training and support, leaving master and unit franchisees free to manage and clean effectively.
With over $175 million in sales and more than 10,000 franchisees nationwide, Jan-Pro is a major force in the nearly $150 billion commercial cleaning industry.
