CARROLLTON, Texas — FASTSIGNS International, Inc., franchisor of FASTSIGNS®, the leading sign, graphics, and visual communications franchise, announced today it has been ranked as one of the Top 100 Global Franchises by Franchise Direct. One of the premier franchise rankings, the Top 100 Global Franchises ranked FASTSIGNS as #33 for its strong sales and growth, international presence, and over 35 years in franchising, among other successes.

“To be recognized among the leading global franchise brands by Franchise Direct for another year is a true honor and testament to our proven franchise model,” said Mark Jameson, Chief Support and Development Officer. “With FASTSIGNS centers operating both domestically across the United States and internationally in countries like Canada, Chile and Puerto Rico, we’re proud to reflect on how the need for visual communications can be adapted to thrive in any market across the world. The dedicated network of franchisees across the FASTSIGNS system allows us to continuously reach new heights and, as we enter our 36th year of business, our commitment to their success has never been stronger.”

FASTSIGNS reported exceptional results in 2020, including the signing of over 31 franchise agreements in the U.S and Canada to develop new, co-branded, and conversion centers and the opening of more than 30 locations, including its first center in the Dominican Republic. Much of FASTSIGNS’ success in 2020 can be credited to centers being deemed essential businesses, allowing franchisees to pivot their services to focus on serving their customers.

This year, FASTSIGNS is aiming to sign at least 35 franchise agreements across the U.S. in markets such as Southern California, the Midwest, New England, and along the Northeast Corridor. FASTSIGNS is particularly focusing on its co-brand and conversion programs, which help existing business owners add a FASTSIGNS to their store or fully convert their business to a FASTSIGNS franchise.

Both the co-brand franchise opportunity and conversion can be started with only $15,000 down on the initial franchise fee.

FASTSIGNS is known in the industry for equipping its franchisees with tools vital to securing the ongoing success of each individual location. In addition to the brand’s online FASTSIGNS University, FASTSIGNS partners with 1HUDDLE, a workforce-training platform that converts unique training content into science-backed, quick-burst training games that are proven to accelerate workforce productivity.

FASTSIGNS also offers a special incentive for first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters, which includes a 50% reduction on the franchise fee — a savings of $24,875.

FASTSIGNS is consistently ranked as a top franchise opportunity. In 2020, Entrepreneur magazine named FASTSIGNS a Top Growth Franchise and one of the Top Franchises for Veterans. Additionally, FASTSIGNS was ranked on Franchise Times’ annual Top 200+ list, Franchise Gator recognized the brand as one of its Top 100 Franchises of 2020, Franchise Direct named FASTSIGNS one of the Top 100 Global Franchises, and Franchise Business Review named FASTSIGNS one of its Top Franchises for Second Careers and Top Franchises for Veterans. In 2019, the brand was named to America’s Best Franchises to Buy list by Forbes magazine. Franchise Business Review has also recognized FASTSIGNS as one of the “Best of the Best” for franchisee satisfaction for the last 10 years, as well as one of its Top 50 Franchises for Women and Top Service Franchises lists in 2019. FASTSIGNS has also received the Canadian Franchise Association Franchisees’ Choice for eight consecutive years.

Demand for in-home care rose quickly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with long-term care facilities like nursing homes identified as hotspots for the virus’ transmission. This emerging industry trend catalyzed considerable growth within Always Best Care’s system.

Despite the challenges our industry faced, I’m incredibly proud of how our dedicated corporate team and franchisees rallied alongside one another to reach new heights and best serve our clients and their needs during such a high-risk time,” said Jake Brown, President & CEO of Always Best Care. “As we reflect on the franchise development growth we experienced in the midst of the pandemic, most of which was driven by existing franchisees, we’re fortunate to have such passionate, talented and proud owners alongside us as we kick off a milestone year.”

In December 2020, Always Best Care was recognized by Franchise Dictionary magazine as a Top 100 Game Changer, for creating opportunities for aspiring business owners, filling a niche in the home health care industry and helping the local communities it serves. Always Best Care also ranked #30 of the 2020 Franchise Gator Top 100 ranking, an esteemed list developed to assist prospective franchisees in their search for a franchise opportunity to invest in, recognizing the top franchisors based on strong growth, financial stability, experience, and several other criteria.

“Dante and Alex are exemplary Master Franchise owners, each bringing unique business, finance and leadership qualities and experience to the Anago family,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President of Anago Cleaning Systems. “We’re excited to continue offering Denver-based entrepreneurs the opportunity to own their own Anago commercial cleaning unit franchise.”

When discussing the Master Franchise model, Dante Caravaggio said, “Unit franchise opportunities are a wonderful way to step into the world of business ownership. We have met several extremely successful unit franchise owners who have reaped the benefits for over 20 years. While we do our best to provide unit franchise owners the tools and support needed to succeed, the success of their business is ultimately on them. A unit franchise can be as large or small as they choose to be.”

Both engineers in the oil and gas industry with more than 50 years combined experience, Dante and Alex have found a new passion working side-by-side.

“This is an opportunity for my father and I to work together in a business,” said Alex Caravaggio. “We saw that Anago had a recession-resistant model that provided several revenue streams to ensure better business stability. Anago’s reputation, stability and performance within a recession-proof industry is something I feel very confident in continuing to build and offer in the Denver metroplex area.”

Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the franchise system for both master and unit franchises, which allows successful mid-career professionals to operate their own exclusive regional franchises, while allowing small businesses to invest in their success. Both levels simply focus on running their business while Anago Cleaning Systems provides assistance, guidance, and critical tools to grow.

Two Maids & A Mop Achieves Significant Milestones in 2020

2021-01-25T16:34:22-05:00January 25th, 2021|Tags: , , |

Leader in Residential Cleaning Surpasses 27 Million in Sales.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Two Maids & A Mop, the nation’s largest residential cleaning franchise, announced today that it achieved significant growth and success in 2020, attaining a 5.6% increase in system-wide sales and setting three of the highest network revenue records since the brand opened in 2003. Amid the pandemic, Two Maids & A Mop acquired nearly 10,000 new customers and opened 11 new locations including Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, Temple, Texas, Augusta, Georgia and Aurora, Colorado. This impressive growth reinforces the strength of the brand’s system and positions them for continued success in 2021, with a goal to open 30 new locations before the end of the year.

“We’re extremely proud to be able to celebrate these achievements, as the challenges we faced this year, both personally and professionally, were unprecedented,” said Ron Holt, Founder and CEO of Two Maids & A Mop. “Through all the uncertainty, our Two Maids & A Mop network truly banded together to become a strong support system for each other, helping to break through any roadblocks that arose for small business owners. That comradery helped 44 of our locations achieve monthly revenue records during the pandemic, which is unbelievable. As we look ahead, we are more confident than ever in the strength of our franchise system, the guidance of our leadership team, and the passion of our franchise owners. We are excited to see what we can achieve together in the coming year.”

While Two Maids & A Mop was deemed an essential business and was able to continue operating during COVID-19, the company still had to pivot its focus to better serve customers dealing with the effects of the pandemic. Aligning with their passion of serving others, many franchise owners continued providing free cleans for families that couldn’t afford to continue service, put together care packages, purchased coloring books and crayons for children at home, donated to local food banks in their customers’ names, executed grocery delivery drop-offs for elderly customers, among other efforts.

Additionally, Two Maids & A Mop continued to support its partnership with Cleaning For A Reason, donating more than 1,400 free cleans to patients battling cancer, and announced a new system-wide partnership with The Finely Project, an organization that provides support to families who have experienced the loss of an infant.
