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.

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.

Father and Son Team Take the Reins of Anago’s Presence in the Centennial State.

DENVER — Anago Cleaning Systems, an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise with over 1,700 Regional and Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, announced its newest franchise owners in Denver, Colorado. Father and son team, Dante and Alex Caravaggio will lead the Anago unit franchise expansion in the Centennial State.

Denver continues to be one of the fastest growing cities in the US as businesses and entrepreneurs continue to invest in Colorado. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Anago of Denver is positioned to remain on the frontlines, keeping businesses as disinfected and safe as possible until the virus is controlled and stopped. Like all businesses, Anago experienced a slow-down in the early months of the pandemic but recovered quickly with specialized disinfecting services emerging as the most requested cleaning program.

“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.

The Anago Denver office is located at 9101 Harlan St #310, Westminster, CO 80031 and can be reached by calling 720-694-8931.

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.
