Regional Franchise Opportunities

Founded in the US in 1969, Jani-King began franchising in in Canada in 1986 – that is more than 30 years.

Jani-King’s founder transformed a challenging industry with the concept that a business owner, more so than an employee, would provide greater service because they had a vested interest. Results were successful and immediate. Jani-King quickly  grew from one city to another  through Franchisees that connected with customers and delivered a better cleaning service. Today there are 12 Regional Franchised Territories in Canada, with over 700 Unit Franchises spread across those regions.

It is not just the proven procedures, operational support and overall experience of Jani-King that has made the company a terrific business opportunity for entrepreneurs across the country. The commercial cleaning industry is a $100+ billion dollar industry that’s steadily growing. In fact, the janitorial services field is expected to see long-term growth of both customers and workers as more facilities create more opportunity.

The reason the commercial cleaning franchise industry is popular is a direct result of Jani-King’s success early on. Jani-King was the first to introduce franchise opportunities in the commercial cleaning space, and since then the company has worked hard to remain steps ahead of the competition. Today, Jani-King Canada executives continue to work closely with the the Canadian Franchise Association and other major franchise organizations to protect and grow franchising across Canada.

Regional Franchise investors are granted an exclusive 5-year agreement (renewable for multiple successive terms) to operate within a defined territory. This franchise business opportunity gives the Regional Franchisor the ability to establish a regional office that sells individual Jani-King Unit Franchises, train the Unit Franchises, and secures cleaning contracts for the Unit Franchises to service.

Simply put, Jani-King has decades of experience in the commercial cleaning and franchise industry. This means that new Regional Franchisees can step in with very little experience and have Jani-King’s support and systems at their fingertips. Our regional franchisees work together, share best practices and are committed to upholding Jani-King Canada’s brand standards. They do all of this because of the expert support, proven systems and limitless opportunity of the Jani-King program.

Our developed regions include Nova Scotia, New Brunswick/PEI, Eastern Ontario, Ottawa, Southern Ontario, Manitoba, Southern Alberta, Northern Alberta, Southern British Columbia, Northern British Columbia, Vancouver, and Vancouver Island.

Jani-King Canada currently has Regional Franchise licenses for undeveloped regions available in Newfoundland, Thunder Bay and Saskatchewan. A Master Franchise can operate in a specific metropolitan area, a defined geographical area, or  an entire province depending on the license agreement

Opportunities for a Jani-King Regional Franchisors  to develop and grow a successful business exists in any area where a number of  businesses are located. All commercial buildings require cleaning and many select the consistency and superior quality of contracted services. 

Every territory contains some, if not all, of the following buildings that demand regular cleaning services:

• Individual office buildings and business parks
• Hospitals and medical facilities
• Hotels and resorts
• Private schools and universities
• Stadiums and event facilities
• Retail centres and restaurants
• Manufacturing facilities and more

There is potential to gain new customers every single day, it is why we keep growing. Whether it’s a newly-constructed building or a customer who is in need of a better cleaning service, the opportunity to build your business in the territory of your choice is unmatched.

Jani-King carefully selects its partners because, even though you have your own territory, everyone associated with Jani-King is an ambassador of the brand. Regional franchise candidates are expected to have business management experience as they will be responsible for an office staff and growing their territory, but commercial cleaning experience is not required. Jani-King has the training, tools and guidance to support committed entrepreneurs.

This is a professional, office-based business opportunity that includes;

Sales: customer and unit franchises
Operations: training and support to unity franchisees and customer service
Admin: account billing, customer service, etc.

From Jani-King’s Canada’s headquarters in Nova Scotia, new programs, new technology and new ideas are regularly deployed based on working relationships with Regional Franchisees and corporate personnel in the field. In addition to consistent, open communication between Regional Franchisors, Jani-King Canada holds an annual conference at which all Regional Franchisees can gather, share ideas, network with peers, meet with vendors, hear from experts, review programs and gain insights into important industry happenings. A Regional Franchise Advisory Council also meets once per year in addition to the annual conference. This committee’s focus relates directly to the business of our Jani-King Regional Franchise territories.
