JAN-PRO Identifies Wichita, Kansas Market for Targeted Growth; Seeks Strong Entrepreneur to Lead Growth Efforts

Since its founding in 1991, growth has always been JAN-PRO’s biggest focus. Today, with nearly 8,000 units across the globe, it’s clear the brand knows what works—and what doesn’t work—when it comes steady and sustainable growth throughout the country. As the fastest-growing company in the industry, the brand’s secret to success is simple—no matter how big or small, JAN-PRO’s services are in high demand in just about every market.

Nearly 30 years since its inception, JAN-PRO continues to bring in new customers at a higher rate than ever before. Its number of unit franchisees continues to grow. And its master franchisees continue to see year after year growth. According to Don Tarinelli, Senior Director of Franchise Development for Premium Franchise Brands, it’s a continual upward climb that is just getting started. That’s because JAN-PRO has yet to see a ceiling in any of the markets it serves.

From domestic cities like Las Cruces, New Mexico; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to international locations like Latin America, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, JAN-PRO sees opportunity in nearly every market throughout the world. Now, JAN-PRO is bringing its unrivaled services and unique business model to Wichita, Kansas, a relatively untapped target development market.

With a metro population of 680,000, Wichita has consistently been named one of the best places to work. As an industrial hub and the largest city in the state, Wichita is an area center of culture, media and trade. It hosts several large museums, theatres, parks, and entertainment venues, notably Intrust Bank Arena. Several universities are located in the city including Wichita State University, the third largest in the state. Wichita is also home to the Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center and Kansas's largest airport, Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport. The city also houses the world’s largest first-tier aerostructures manufacturer—Spirit AeroSystems, Inc.

“Wichita is an ideal development market for the JAN-PRO brand. Its city is rich with businesses in need of our services, giving prospective franchisees the opportunity to tap into that heightened level of demand,” said Tarinelli. “From universities and entertainment venues, to sprawling convention centers and important manufacturing plants, we find year after year that it’s these kind of businesses that could benefit from JAN-PRO’s unparalleled cleaning services the most.”

JAN-PRO offers prospective owners the opportunity to be a Master Franchisee. That means that in addition to building their own successful business and driving the brand forward as a whole, Master Franchisees have the chance to help other entrepreneurs realize their potential as local business owners. It’s a one of a kind opportunity—the average JAN-PRO regional Master Franchisee brings in $1.2 million in gross profit.

Startup costs for a new Master Franchisee are initially based on a franchise fee of $20,000 per 100,000 population. By JAN-PRO’s estimations, that initial investment should fall between $172,750 and $757,000 depending on other factors like real estate and location.

“We’re excited to team up with passionate and driven franchisees across the Wichita area. Between our proven model and their knowledge of the local market, there’s no limit to JAN-PRO’s potential growth across the city in the months and years to come,” said Eddie Curry, the president and CEO of Premium Franchise Brands.
