History
1968
In 1968, while still a student at the
University of Oklahoma, Jim Cavanaugh realised that
the cleaning business was one that would never go out
of style. He began by marketing his cleaning services
during the day then servicing those clients at night.
Less than a year later, in 1969, Cavanaugh established
Jani-King and began pioneering the concept that has
kept Jani-King at the top of its industry. From the
company's humble beginnings to today's status as the
world's largest and most successful commercial cleaning
franchise company, the Jani-King empire was built on
hard work and the realization that a world of opportunity
existed for a commercial cleaning franchisor.

1970's
During the early seventies, Jani-King
became a franchise company unlike any other. In 1974,
Cavanaugh began applying his winning franchise concept;
a concept in which Jani-King finds the business and
offers the Franchisee an initial customer base to service.
In 1976, Cavanaugh moved the company's headquarters
to Dallas, Texas, to continue Jani-King's expansion.

1980's
Jani-King's steady US growth blossomed
into an international success story in 1986 when Canada
became the first international Master Franchise. Less
than a year later, Entrepreneur magazine ranked Jani-King
as the #1 Commercial Cleaning Franchisor for the first
time, an honor bestowed upon Jani-King 15 out of the
last 18 years.

1990's
The decade of the nineties was a time
of exceptional growth for Jani-King, both nationally
and internationally. The company sold its 5,000th franchise
and expanded into Argentina, Australia, Brazil, France,
Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand,
Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, and Turkey. Entrepreneur
International's 1998 magazine ranked Jani-King the #1
Maintenance Franchise and #1 of the Top 200 International
Franchises.

2003
Today, there are over 12,000
authorized Franchisees in the Jani-King system and more
than 100 Regional Offices in 19 countries. As the global
leader in franchised commercial cleaning services, Jani-King's
success and size is the result of a tradition of leadership
in business development, business operations, and customer
service. Jani-King continues to provide exceptional
service to thousands of customers while enhancing its
reputation as the # 1 company in the franchised commercial
cleaning industry.
