After numerous acquisitions and diversification of their franchise offerings into the home services arena, LYNX Franchising has tapped Zide to keep pace with rapid growth

ATLANTA — LYNX Franchising, a multi-branded franchise platform with a complementary collection of B2B essential services and outdoor focused residential services, recently announced that they have promoted Scott Zide as LYNX Franchising’s CEO.

Zide, formerly the President and COO of Outdoor Living Brands, a leading franchisor in the outdoor residential services sector, was promoted to CEO several months after LYNX Franchising and Outdoor Living Brands joined forces in September 2020. The investment in Outdoor Living Brands served as a strategic diversification move by LYNX to expand their offerings beyond commercial services into residential home services. To ensure the continued smooth consolidation of LYNX Franchising and Outdoor Living Brands, Chris Grandpre, former Chairman & CEO of Outdoor Living Brands, who joined the LYNX Franchising board of directors in September 2020, has now been named Chairman.

“I am thrilled to take on this new role with LYNX Franchising as the company has made tremendous strides in the past year assembling a portfolio of industry leading commercial and residential service brands poised for explosive growth in the years ahead,” said Zide. “Looking ahead, we aim to continue this momentum as we aggressively look for opportunities to acquire emerging brands and incubate new franchise concepts in our sectors of interest.”

LYNX Franchising operates three leading commercial service franchise systems including JAN-PRO, Intelligent Office, and FRSTeam. In addition, LYNX operates four leading residential service franchise systems through its Outdoor Living Brands platform, including the Archadeck Outdoor Living, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives, Conserva Irrigation, and recently acquired Superior Fence & Rail franchise systems. With a track record of partnering with founders to help accelerate the growth and development of their systems, LYNX Franchising anticipates that they will continue to add to its portfolio of commercial and residential services in the months and year ahead.

Under the leadership of Zide, LYNX Franchising looks to continue its track record of strong system sales growth rates while also improving the attractive unit level economic profiles of the company’s franchise brands. Zide will also be responsible for integrating LYNX Franchising and Outdoor Living Brands into one, unified platform franchise organization.

“I have no doubt that, under the leadership of Scott, LYNX Franchising will continue to diversify its portfolio through being highly acquisitive in the commercial and residential services sectors,” added Grandpre. “Scott has been a key part of every strategic decision that Outdoor Living Brands has made since we formed the company in 2008 and constructed the platform. That work will continue as we continue to integrate LYNX and Outdoor Living Brands. Most importantly, as a former franchisee, Scott has made it a priority to bring the voice of the franchisee into every decision and always puts franchisee’s unit level economics first.”

Jan-Pro Cleaning & Disinfecting Set to Continue Momentum Through the Second Half of 2021

Tatyana Stemkovski2021-07-21T12:32:58-04:00July 21st, 2021|Tags: commercial cleaning franchise, Jan-Pro Cleaning & Disinfecting, JAN-PRO Franchising International, service excellence to customers, support to franchise owners|

The country’s premier commercial cleaning franchise grows national presence in its 30th year.

ATLANTA — Jan-Pro Cleaning & Disinfecting – one of the largest commercial cleaning franchise brands in the country – is continuing to provide cleaning and disinfecting measures to help create a safe environment for business owners, employees, and customers across the nation. JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting saw continued success transitioning from 2020 to 2021, with incredible growth due to the rise in demand for recurring cleaning and disinfecting services. The brand expects its growth to continue as we enter the second half of the year as business owners are committed to prioritizing the safety of their employees and customers, especially with the approach of Fall and Winter.

“We weren’t entirely sure what to expect in the beginning of the year as the pandemic continued to ravage the nation. Halfway through the year, we’ve seen safety mandates change across the country, leaving many Americans feeling confused and vulnerable,” said Gary Bauer, president of Jan-Pro Systems International. “We expect the demand for our experts at JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting to continue through the second half of 2021 as the country reopens, ensuring everyone’s safety through regular foundational cleaning and supported with routine disinfecting.”

JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting looks to finish 2021 strong after touting impressive numbers over the past year. Here are some of their biggest achievements:

Over $600M in system wide sales
The system has grown over 19% in the last year, with 15+% as of May, and growth is expected to continue
Their markets achieved 4-5 times growth in disinfecting services, as disinfecting services became 25% of their recurring billings

Additionally, JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting launched their Protect Tomorrow campaign earlier this year, as Americans have become hyperconscious of their health and safety. With this heightened awareness, the brand intends to use the Protect Tomorrow campaign to highlight the importance of regular cleaning services, how this contributes to the health of workers, and help reduce the costs for businesses associated with sick leave.

“Employees and customers will want to know how their local businesses and leaders are keeping them safe,” added Bauer. “It will also be crucial for business owners and their employees to be able to explain how they are creating a safe and clean environment as the reopening process across the country continues and we move towards cold and flu season.”

And now businesses will be held to a higher standard than ever before when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting. To meet this standard, businesses can trust the JAN-PRO Signature Clean^® used alongside their proprietary disinfection system, EnviroShield^®to provide facilities with the ultimate level of protection.

Jan-Pro Cleaning & Disinfecting has the technology available to disinfect businesses and facilities of all kinds. JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting’s EnviroShield^®system is the same system used to disinfect hospital operating rooms.

It uses an EPA-rated disinfectant that is the safest in its class while killing 99.9% of harmful bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The electrostatic spraying nozzle disinfects all sides of objects, including the bottom side of handles and knobs.
It’s environmentally friendly and safe enough for everyday use without leaving any residue or odor.

Looking ahead, JAN-PRO is ready to continue to grow its brands and exceed customers’ expectations, looking to end 2021 strong.

15 new JAN-PRO Franchise Development owners have entered the system in the last 12 months
65 territories in the US and several international markets have been made available, demonstrating tremendous growth opportunities

JAN-PRO Systems International has recently made an additional 65 regional territories available across the United States and several international markets to bring their proven business model to more customers. With that expansion will come the opportunity to help more aspiring business owners enter into business for themselves. Currently, the brand is looking to expand its presence in a number of areas including: Madison, WI; Des Moines, IA; Sioux Falls, SD; Myrtle Beach, SC; Wichita, KS and many more.

JAN-PRO Keeps Employees Safe as America Begins Reopening

The largest commercial cleaning franchise in the country emphasizes that employees must be protected.

ATLANTA — JAN-PRO, the largest commercial cleaning franchise brand in the country with over 8,000 small business owners, is taking on the responsibility of keeping employees across the nation safer as parts of the United States begin reopening. While the brand has always placed importance on a clean and healthy workspace, now more than ever JAN-PRO is emphasizing to employers across the country how important it is to take action and keep workspaces clean in order to protect their employees. Holding the responsibility of keeping frontline workers and facilities safe, JAN-PRO created the EnviroShield system nearly a decade ago. The EnviroShield system uses the latest in cleaning products and delivery systems to provide disinfection to areas often missed by traditional cleaning services.

Business owners looking to re-open are strongly advised to put into place enhanced sanitation protocols for the workplace. JAN-PRO has been keeping workplaces clean since 1991 with innovative technology and proven systems. With a demonstrated history of leading the industry, JAN-PRO was the first brand in commercial cleaning to adopt a color-coded system so that germs from one part of the workplace are not brought into another. Most recently, JAN-PRO’s new EnviroShield system is helping local franchisees disinfect during a time when disinfection is most critical.

The EnviroShield system is the same cleaning process used to sanitize hospital operating rooms. It utilizes an electrostatic sprayer and allows disinfectant to reach more areas on a microscopic level. The disinfectant receives an electric charge which helps it bind to surfaces and reach areas that traditional sprayers and applicators cannot reach. After the disinfectant is sprayed, JAN-PRO applies a surface treatment that helps prevent bacteria and viruses from living on the surface. If this treatment is not disrupted or soiled, it can last for up to 6 months.

“A clean workspace is not a luxury, it’s something that all responsible business owners need to provide for their employees,” said Gary Bauer, president of JAN-PRO. “We hope that, as businesses begin to reopen, they let our professionals help keep their offices or facilities safer for their employees. Now more than ever, your standard cleaning routines may not provide the protection that employees need. Our advanced technology brings workers the peace of mind that the job has been done right so employees can return to work with confidence.”

While JAN-PRO recommends regular services to help ensure the safety of employees, they are also offering one-time EnviroShield cleanings for business owners to protect their space and employees before reopening. The brand’s regular products and services leverage technology and the most advanced equipment, including HEPA-rated vacuums that filter out 99.9% of particles from the air and microfiber cloths that are color coded to reduce cross contamination. The 3-step process includes a complete and measurable 50-point inspection, and the EnviroShield treatment adds yet another layer of defense to this process.
