POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — Anago Cleaning Systems recognized its U.S. and Canadian Master Franchise partners during its annual seminar in Fort Worth, TX. The seminar’s highlight was the brand’s territories surpassing the previous $100M Challenge promotion to the next $300M target within five years. The Challenge focused on increasing business processes, inflationary price protections, sales & leadership recruitment and training, and franchise development aimed at systems that make the dream of small business ownership a reality for more people.

This year, Anago inducted eight Master Franchisees into the Million-Dollar Club, each producing at least $1M in revenues, with several exceeding this target. Additionally recognized were the Multi-Million Dollar Club inductees, which included ten territories reaching $2M, seven with $3M in revenues, six with $4M, three earning $5M, one territory reaching $6M, and two with over $7M in revenues.

“The $100M Challenge promotion far exceeded expectations and has now evolved into a robust Vision 2028 initiative with a target of over $300M within the next five years,” said Adam Povlitz, President and CEO of Anago Cleaning Systems.

The program aims to support the costs for owners to focus on human resources, not just technology, to expand businesses, and inspire entrepreneurs to launch Unit Franchise operations. The financial program boosted sales rep hiring, continued sales and leadership training programs, positioned franchisees for inflationary pricing protection, and strengthened franchise development.

Anago recognized several territories trailblazing new paths in growth through 2023. To recognize those territories and to honor Anago’s late founder, the coveted “City of the Year” award has been renamed the “David R. Povlitz City of the Year Award” and is awarded to Anago of Greater Philadelphia for the fifth consecutive year, with more than $1.3M added revenue over the previous year.

As we’ve experienced, home-based and mobile franchise businesses gained national interest as a viable and profitable venture and continue to gain momentum into 2024,” added Povlitz.

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.

Former Industry Vice President Launches Anago Master Franchise Operations in Oklahoma City. 

OKLAHOMA CITY — 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 operations in Oklahoma. Commercial cleaning franchise industry veteran and entrepreneur, Eric Adame, will lead the Anago Master Franchise expansion in the Sooner State with an immediate focus on Oklahoma City and surrounding municipalities.

Eric’s extensive business experience includes the roles of Regional Vice President and Regional Director for another commercial cleaning franchise system. Before that, he spent years in the consumer and rent-to-own management industry, fine-tuning his skills in multi-unit business processes, operations, and, most importantly, customer service. After several businesses where Eric held minority ownership rights were sold, he decided it was time to venture out independently. After looking at several brands in the commercial cleaning franchise space, Eric chose Anago Cleaning Systems for its brand promise, company culture, integrity, genuine kindness, and personal touch of the people he encountered at Anago.

“I left my career to focus on Anago and decided on the great state of Oklahoma because of my previous years of traveling through the state and becoming familiar with the business climate and people,” says Eric. “I love Oklahoma City and its people and am excited about the prospect of helping first-time entrepreneurs and others realize their dreams of small business ownership. Oklahoma City is a competitive market for commercial cleaning. Still, with the growth and the high level of service offered by the Anago brand, I am confident we can offer a competitive advantage to all businesses looking to outsource commercial cleaning operations.”

“Eric’s professional background speaks directly to the core attributes needed to be a successful Master Franchise owner, and we’re thrilled to welcome him into our franchise system,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President of Anago Cleaning Systems. “Most importantly, Eric walks the walk regarding paving pathways and guiding others into small business ownership. He’s reachable, approachable, and genuinely interested in the personal and professional success of others, making him the textbook Master Franchise Owner and ambassador of the Anago brand.”

For those interested in learning more about Anago’s unit franchise opportunities in Oklahoma City, Eric says, “One of the biggest beliefs I have in business is supporting others. Entrepreneurs are a rare, special breed of people with the courage to invest in themselves, their work ethic, and their merit. I want those considering this opportunity to know I have traveled the path they’re on, and it’s important for them to know they’re not alone in this journey.”

“Eric knows what it takes as a first-time business owner because he’s done it repeatedly for other majority stakeholders. This is important especially given an undetermined financial landscape. With the nation facing a possible recession, taking that step makes it that much more difficult. Eric understands this from experience while adding the compassion to help others find success,” added Povlitz.

Because of this strong business ethic, history of growth, and business-friendly franchise program, Anago is consistently recognized by industry peers, including its regular inclusion within Entrepreneur’s suite of ranking systems. Anago has earned top positions for several years running in all the magazine’s main ranking systems. These include Fastest Growing Franchise, Top-Ranked Franchises Under $50K, Top Home-Based Franchise, and Top Global Franchise.

Master Franchise Owner, Matt Sole of Anago Northern California, Expands Commercial Cleaning Small Business Ownership Opportunities throughout Arizona.

PHOENIX — Anago Cleaning Systems, an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise with over 45 territories and 1,700 Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, announced its newest Master Franchise expansion in the great state of Arizona. Matt Sole, who owns and operates Anago’s Master Franchise operations in Northern California, expands his commercial cleaning operations in the Grand Canyon state, bringing small business ownership opportunities to a larger population in the western United States.

Matt’s story started in 2005 when his father purchased the Master Franchise operations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Matt’s career with a public accounting firm ended when he decided to buy out his father, who was ready to retire. Matt expanded Anago of the Bay Area into Sacramento and renamed his company Anago of Northern California while setting sights on further expansion. After several years at the helm and successfully navigating his company through some of the strictest COVID mandates, Matt capitalized on the opportunity to purchase the Master Franchise operations in Arizona with a strong focus on expanding throughout the Phoenix Valley into other parts of the state.

“We are excited to take control of the Master Franchise territory of Arizona,” said Matt. “Our success in Northern California has taught us a great deal, and we look forward to working toward creating small business ownership pathways for Arizona’s community of interested entrepreneurs.”

In a recent American Legislative Exchange Council analysis, Arizona ranked No. 1 for economic performance based on the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), population, and job growth. Its low tax rates, business credits, limited regulations, sunny weather, and low cost of living have made it a draw for businesses. These healthy indicators encourage small business owners across the state, ready to seize new opportunities and pursue economic growth.

Recently, Anago Cleaning Systems was recognized by Franchise Business Review as a leading, recession-resistant franchise for its strength, viability, and profitability during strained economic times. Additionally, Anago Cleaning Systems topped the list of best franchises for minority entrepreneurs and was recently featured by Black Enterprise Magazine as the #1 Franchise for Black Entrepreneurs.

“Matt is an exemplary Master Franchise owner, bringing institutional knowledge of commercial cleaning franchise operations along with the business, finance, and leadership qualities that made him successful in Northern California,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President of Anago Cleaning Systems. “We’re excited to support his expansion into Arizona and the continuance of building opportunities for people interested in launching their own small business through the Anago Unit Franchise model.”

Because of this strong business ethic, history of growth, and business-friendly franchise program, Anago is consistently recognized by industry peers, including its regular inclusion within Entrepreneur’s suite of ranking systems.

We expect continued growth and expansion in 2022 and beyond, as an industry.”

State’s Second Largest Black-owned Employer Takes the Helm, Creating Pathways to Small Business Ownership.

OMAHA, Neb. — 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 opening in the great state of Nebraska. The husband-and-wife team, Luper and Brittanie Akough, will lead the Anago Master Franchise expansion in the Cornhusker State with an immediate focus on the Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas.

“We are extremely blessed and proud to bring Anago to Nebraska,” said Luper and Brittanie. “The businesses making money today are the ones that have proven survival in a variety of economic climates. Commercial cleaning fit the bill, and once we studied and learned about Anago’s Master Franchise model, we knew this was our next business venture, allowing us to continue a passion for creating small business opportunities and accessibility to fellow Nebraskans.”

A Nebraska native, Luper launched his entrepreneurial career in 2012 when he opened his first insurance agency. Starting with zero clients and a will to succeed, Luper grew his business into a profitable endeavor, allowing him to explore other revenue sources. When Luper launched into building a real estate portfolio and flipping houses, he found further success professionally and personally when he met Brittanie. The two would get married and build a family with two children while continuing to diversify into other business opportunities.

Most recently, Luper and Brittanie launched an Omaha-based logistics company facilitating last-mile delivery routes for Amazon. Wanting to add a more secure, recession-resistant business to their portfolio, they discovered Anago’s Master Franchise model. They were sold on its long-standing reputation, business model, and award-winning franchise support system.

Luper admits that Anago’s Master Franchise model was something he’d never seen before in franchise operations. As the concept resembled the insurance business model, he had found success in since 2012, he was further convinced that this was the route to go.

Still in their early 30s and very involved in community development, especially within the African American community, Luper and Brittanie’s focus is to ensure that small business ownership opportunities are widely accessible for people in underserved communities. The Anago expansion will provide access to entrepreneurial pathways that are reasonable and profitable for those willing to work hard for themselves.

Nebraska continues to be an economy built on diverse industries, with food processing, insurance, and telecommunications leading the way. Recently, Anago Cleaning Systems was recognized by Franchise Business Review as a leading, recession-resistant franchise for its strength, viability, and profitability during strained economic times. Like all businesses, Anago experienced a slowdown in the early months of the pandemic but recovered quickly, with specialized disinfection services emerging as one of the most requested cleaning programs.

“Luper and Brittanie 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 see them both build a network of small business ownerships for Nebraska-based entrepreneurs ready for the opportunity to own their own Anago commercial cleaning unit franchise.”

Because of this strong business ethic, history of growth, and business-friendly franchise program, Anago is consistently recognized by industry peers, including its regular inclusion within Entrepreneur’s suite of ranking systems. Anago has earned top positions for several years running in all the magazine’s main rankings. These include Franchise 500, Fastest Growing Franchise, Top-Ranked Franchises Under $50K, Top Home-Based Franchise, and Top Global Franchise. Anago Cleaning Systems’ continued inclusion within these rankings demonstrates the brand’s rising popularity with both franchisees and clients.

“Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the master franchise system, allowing successful mid-career professionals to operate their regional franchises while allowing small businesses to invest in their success,” added Povlitz. “Both levels simply focus on running their business while we provide the marketing assistance, support, and critical tools to grow. As an industry, we expect to see continued growth and expansion in 2022 and beyond.”
