Anago’s placement on this prestigious listing is a testament to their efforts to reach out to the minority community and recognize the great value they present to the country. Today, minorities account for more than 15% of franchisees across the country, according to the Initiative’s report.

Anago was founded in 1989 by David Povlitz, who operated a successful conventional janitorial company. After realizing the potential of the recession resistant commercial cleaning industry combined with the franchise business model, Anago was born. The first Master Franchise opened in 1995.

“Anago Cleaning Systems is proud of its commitment to the minority community. Long ago, we realized their strong work ethic, tenacity, and desire to live the American dream of owning their own business,” said Anago’s Chairman, David Povlitz. “Minority Franchise Owners are an integral part of Anago’s success, and will continue to be in the future”.
