Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System, a franchisor of commercial cleaning businesses has announced its 2013 Franchise Owners of the Year in the small, medium and large categories, according to a company release.

Jimmie Hart of the Cleveland Support Center was honored in the Best Small Category. He purchased his franchise in 2003.

“My friend told me the support at Coverall was really good,” said Hart. “He was right. Coverall has changed my life.”  

Hart says he plans to retire from the Ohio Department of Transportation soon to focus all of his time on growing his franchised business.

Elena and Claudiu Orzan, also of the Cleveland Support Center, were honored in the Best Medium Category. The two were born in Romania and later became U.S. citizens. The married couple has worked hard to triple their sales from when they started their franchise five years ago. The Orzans strive to make an impact on every client.

“When I clean, I clean like I’m cleaning for myself,” said Elena. “If I do a good job, I know my customers will be happy. They will continue to keep us and want more special services.”
