Anago Cleaning Systems validated its position as an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise brand with over 1,800 Regional and Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, earning recognition by Franchise Times as a leader among the publication's exclusive annual standing of the largest U.S.-based franchise systems for global systemwide sales.
"The Franchise Times Top 400 is an exclusive annual ranking of the largest U.S.-based franchise systems by global systemwide sales. The project is the result of a five-month research and reporting effort that leads to the most credible and objective
franchise ranking available," says Franchise Times Editor in Chief Laura Michaels.
Among the industries ranked, cleaning services ranked first with Franchise Times reporting a nearly 16 percent industry-wide growth indicator. The collection of systemwide sales data also provides useful insight into the franchise industry's performance as the economic and consumer demand shakeout continues.
According to Franchise Times, the Top 400 sales grew 3.7 percent in 2023, to $740 billion, as franchise brands pushed sales in a year marked by inflation concerns and shifting consumer spending. Sales at the 10 largest franchises increased 7.2 percent, as those brands collectively gained more than $25 billion over the prior year.
"Anago Cleaning Systems is once again proud to be recognized as a leader within the U.S business sector, this time from a venerated pillar within the franchise industry, Franchise Times," says Anago CEO and President, Adam Povlitz. "The commercial cleaning industry is rarely the first thought of business ventures with new and veteran entrepreneurs, but time and again proves its viability, profitability, and service to community in both strong and uncertain economic times. We're proud that our brand and franchise system continues to be recognized by industry leaders across North America."
The Franchise Times Top 400 is the only ranking by systemwide sales and units of the largest 500 U.S.-based franchise brands. Published in the October issue and available in a searchable database online, the Franchise Times Top 400 also analyzes industry sectors based on percentage change in sales growth, reports the 10 fastest-growing franchises by four different measures, and includes exclusive news stories about the biggest names in franchising.
