Founded in the US in 1969, Jani-King began franchising 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 Master Franchise Territories in Canada, and more than 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.
