We currently have 57 franchisees and 5 employees. We have seen tremendous growth over the past 5 years. We have achieved a lot of the goals we set for ourselves when starting our company. We like the constant innovations in the cleaning world and we even embraced the challenges that were posed to us during the pandemic. WE ARE ESSENTIAL! I would encourage anyone to consider being an independent business owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you inspire your unit franchisees to be the best they can be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our franchisees have the same goals and aspirations as we do.

I worked in the Medical industry for 20+ years. After my department was eliminated, I transitioned into business development for the hospital. As time went on, I decided that developing my own business was a smarter decision for me. My husband had researched many companies and we chose Anago to be the business we thought would be most successful and work for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
