Anago Cleaning Systems (Anago), a commercial cleaning franchise with more than 2,400 Unit Franchisees throughout the U.S. and internationally, announced it rose over 40 spots to earn the 39th spot in the annual Entrepreneur Magazine “Franchise 500” rankings. Anago rose from 83rd in the 2015 report to the top 50 spot.

“We are thrilled to have earned a strong position on this prestigious list," said Adam Povlitz, president of Anago Cleaning Systems. "When such a well-respected publication recognizes the success you’re achieving, it affirms the systems and ongoing support we have provided our Franchisees for over 25 years.”

The list positions Anago in the top ranks of the 500 franchises included, and further exemplifies the rapid growth of the $100 billion commercial cleaning industry. As the brand continues to grow and expand across the U.S., Anago is seeking Master Franchise Owners with sales and marketing experience to join its recession-resistant concept. Master Franchise Owners have the potential to create many small businesses within their community through the Unit Franchise concept. The Unit focuses their business on cleaning office buildings, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, and just about any other commercial property. The Master Franchisees handle the administrative tasks, including everything from finding clients and coordinating cleaning contracts to billing and collections.

“Our hope is that this recognition increases awareness of both our brand and our franchisee recruitment opportunities,” Povlitz added. “We hope to reach people who are passionate about sales and marketing, business management, or the cleaning industry. Those are the key players we want to welcome to the Anago family.”

Anago plans to expand its master franchise territories into additional markets around the United States, including Chicago, Houston, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut as well as internationally.
