Jani-King vs Power Wash Store Franchise Comparison

As a student at the University of Oklahoma in 1968, Jim Cavanaugh worked as a night auditor at a hotel chain. While there, he realized that there would always be a strong need for janitorial services as long as there were office buildings. He began marketing janitorial services by day and cleaning buildings with his friends by night. Within a year, Cavanaugh established Jani-King and in 1974 he started franchising. A commercial cleaning service, Jani-King sets up franchisees with a customer base and charges fees depending on the size of that initial base.

The Power Wash Store has been serving the needs of the pressure wash industry since 1993. We aren’t in the pressure washer business to simply sell you a product and then kick you out the door. We’re here because we believe in helping people become better at what they do. Paul Kassander started The Power Wash Store in 1993 after many years running his own successful pressure washing company. He found many of his product suppliers couldn’t answer his questions and lacked any practical knowledge of the pressure washing business. Oftentimes, suppliers couldn’t even explain the basic functions of the machines they sold.
