Anago Announces the Passing of its Beloved Chairman and Founder, Mr. David R. Povlitz

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-02-20T10:17:26-05:00February 20th, 2023|Tags: anago cleaning systems, commercial cleaning franchise system, commercial cleaning service, Master franchise opportunities|

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — It is with great sadness and a profound celebration of life that Anago Cleaning Systems announces the passing of its beloved Chairman and Founder, Mr. David R. Povlitz. Mr. Povlitz started Anago back in 1989, with the ambitious mission to help everyday men and women achieve financial freedom and security by becoming small business owners within the commercial cleaning industry. He developed the company values he and his employees would spend the next three decades working hard to honor.

Mr. Povlitz was a patriot who believed in serving people, communities, and his nation. In 1967, as the United States was engaged in a steadily expanding air and ground war in Southeast Asia, David decided to join millions of other young Americans by enlisting in the U.S. Army. After serving as a Radio Operator for two years, he was honorably discharged, reaching the rank of Sergeant for his leadership and active-duty dedication to his military brothers and sisters. For his service to our country, he received the National Defense Service Medal and Armed Forces Expeditionary Ribbon for serving in Korea.

Returning from war, David attended college on the GI Bill, graduated from Michigan State University in 1972 with a hotel and restaurant administration degree, and began putting his knowledge into practical application. Upon graduation, David was driven by a strong work ethic and a desire to succeed for himself, his wife, and two children. David’s determination to succeed as an entrepreneur led him to Florida, where he launched Anago Cleaning Systems and began door-to-door soliciting to garner contracts, a time when businesses were built on an honest word and sealed with a handshake. In the early days of Anago, David vacuumed floors and scrubbed toilets as he continued to build on Anago’s seven unifying principles that begin with the belief in people, personal and professional integrity, and opportunity for advancement through small business ownership.

David took pride in naming his business Anago, derived from the Greek Latin term “anagogue,” meaning to guide or uplift. The name fit his dream perfectly, and there was no greater goal for him than to see others apply their grit and determination to make a better life for themselves through hard work. At that point, Anago became synonymous with entrepreneurial success. A place where dreams come true for aspiring business owners.

David found his life’s professional calling in Anago and described his ultimate reward as seeing other families achieve financial success, send their children to college, or buy a new home due to their franchise earnings through the company he built. David’s belief in people and the importance of appreciation and advancement was always top of mind. He exemplified personal and professional integrity and advocated forward-thinking and outstanding support to all Anago Franchisees and clients.

In many ways, David’s ideology for Anago defines his continuing legacy, which he placed in the hands of his two children when he retired, but only when they had earned the opportunity to run the family business. This meant learning from the ground up, signing contracts, and servicing clients by vacuuming floors and scrubbing toilets, as he did over 30 years ago.

David R. Povlitz September 3^rd, 1948 – February 7^th, 2023. The entire Anago family will profoundly miss him.

About Anago Cleaning Systems

Anago Cleaning Systems is an international commercial cleaning franchise brand. Utilizing the Master Franchise System, Anago supports over 45 Master Franchisees and over 1,700 Unit Franchisees. Founded in 1989, Anago has set the worldwide standard in business support and structure for local and regional companies to provide unparalleled cleaning services to businesses of all kinds. Anago was ranked #36 overall by Entrepreneur magazine in its latest Franchise 500® ranking. For further information, visit its website at AnagoMasters.com.

NerdsToGo® of Bellevue Wins Distinguished Franchisee Award

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-02-17T09:51:26-05:00February 17th, 2023|Tags: business services, computer and technology services, NerdsToGo, Propelled Brands|

NerdsToGo of Bellevue Recognized For Their Contributions to the NerdsToGo Network.

CARROLLTON, Texas — NerdsToGo^®of Bellevue, a leading information technology (IT) solutions and technology services franchise for both business and home, recently were acknowledged for their contributions to the NerdsToGo network at the 2023 NerdsToGo Franchise Convention held in Las Vegas, NV.

The Nerdy Award recognizes a franchisee who best represents the concept and the spirit of the NerdsToGo name, both in the business community and within the network. Gina and Michael Santiago, franchisees at NerdsToGo of Bellevue, were chosen to receive the award because they excel at helping customers and employees achieve their objectives and realize their full potential. They continue to build deep and lasting relationships with customers, vendor partners and employees. The Santiagos bring their values of generosity and cooperation to life as they work with other franchisees to increase the strength, size and integrity of the network.

“Gina and Michael are truly champions of the NerdsToGo brand, and we have experienced how they do all they can to build the value of the brand,” said Jim Howe, President of NerdsToGo.

Michael Santiago purchased NerdsToGo of Bellevue in May 2018 after he walked away from the corporate world to create something more meaningful to his career and community. NerdsToGo combined his passions of technology, working with a small team and the desire to truly make an impact in his community.

“White glove service is an ethos to me, and our business and team are extensions of who we are. If we don’t deliver a great experience and care for the people, nothing else matters to me,” said Michael Santiago.

Michael first met Gina at a local chamber of commerce event, and she later became a consultant, helping him grow his business and improve his processes. As COVID began to ramp, Gina joined the Bellevue team full-time. Michael and Gina had to pivot and think quickly to keep their business moving forward. And at some point along the way, the two realized they worked so well together they joined hands in marriage as well as the business.

“Gina is my greatest advisor and sounding board,” said Michael Santiago. “There’s been a maturation process for our business, and we each bring our different talents to the table. I rally the troops and inspire our team to tackle any mountain, while Gina masterfully creates processes and systems to help us achieve our goals.”

Additional Awards that NerdsToGo of Bellevue received at the 2023 Convention were:

The President’s Award, which recognizes the top 25% of NerdsToGo locations with the highest total sales from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021.
2nd in Highest Overall Sales Growth for achieving the highest overall sales growth for the award year over prior full year sales.
Franchise Sales Recognition which honors franchisees who, over the past year, have been helpful to prospective franchisees in learning what it’s like to be a part of the NerdsToGo community.
Mentor Recognition, which is when a seasoned franchisee serves as a mentor to a new franchisee as they start on the road to opening their operation. The franchisee is recognized for their dedication, leadership and sharing their real-world experience.

“We truly love helping the network and receiving this recognition showed us that they also believe we are helping the network,” said Gina Santiago. “We are over the moon and so full of gratitude at the same time. This honor marked many years of hard work and dedication to our business and brand, and the celebration we received from our peers was incredible.”
