Jan-Pro Awarded Best 10 Franchise for Veterans – Selected to Clean Fort Bragg Army Base and Federal Customs Offices
Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) November 29, 2011
Jan-Pro Franchising International, Inc. (Jan-Pro), an established global leader in commercial cleaning, these days graciously accepted the recognition of becoming named a Top ten Franchise for Veterans, on behalf of the many veteran-owned Jan-Pro franchisee companies, serving our military and government’s cleaning demands.
With innovative product and method introductions, like EnviroShield, the special method that delivers 100% disinfection coverage, Jan-Pro has a firm track record of franchise leadership year following year. This Jan-Pro veteran award is the newest in a extended list of Military and Veteran accolades awarded the firm, such as lately getting chosen a “Top 50 Franchise for Military Veterans,” by Globe Franchising Network, and as a “Military Friendly Franchise” by GI Jobs.
“I have been so lucky to have been given an opportunity to begin a franchise enterprise with Jan-Pro,” stated Steve Greer, Franchise Owner with Jan-Pro of Kansas City, and US Navy veteran who served on the USS Ticonderoga CV 14, an aircraft carrier for the duration of the Vietnam War. “I had usually deemed a cleaning business, and soon after meeting with Jan-Pro, it became clear that this was the direction I wanted to go. It has paid off in so a lot of techniques, both monetarily and job satisfaction.”
Nakita and Dwayne Cruse are both vets and Jan-Pro of San Antonio owners. Nakita served in the marines, stationed in Okinawa, and Dwayne in the Army, stationed in Germany, Turkey, Istanbul, Kuwait and the US. “We had been proud to serve our country and also to be franchise owners with Jan-Pro.” The sentiment runs the very same with Jan-Pro veteran owner, Doel Miranda, Jan-Pro of Puerto Rico.
Justin Cali, Vet and Owner of Jan-Pro Orlando and Palm Beach put it succinctly: “I am proud of several items I have been blessed to be able to do all through my life and profession, such as serving my country in the Army, both as an enlisted soldier and as an officer. Through the abilities I developed in places such as leadership, teamwork and mission accomplishment, I have been in a position to apply those useful abilities in the developing of a profitable Jan-Pro Master Franchise Enterprise.”
The numerous veteran-owned Jan-Pro businesses across the country have received tremendous support and encouragement from US Military and Government operations. For example, Jan-Pro of Raleigh cleans a facility on the US Army base of Fort Bragg in North Carolina, and Jan-Pro of Puerto Rico cleans the Federal Customs Offices in San Juan.
Dennis Thompson, VP Jan-Pro Franchising International, Inc., and himself a US Air Force veteran, encourages veterans to look to Jan-Pro as a company thought: “The Jan-Pro model provides enormous opportunities for each active and inactive veterans for starting a new profession by means of exceptional training, monetary assistance and lengthy term growth prospective.”
“We are very proud to be recognized as a leading franchise for veterans, as we are commited to helping in this very unique company endeavor,” mentioned Rich Kissane, Jan-Pro. “We salute our veterans and thank them for their service.”
