Founded in 1969, Jani-King was born when its founder befriended a night-time janitor and discovered that there was an untapped opportunity to help that janitor grow his business by signing new customers for him to service. Jani-King opened its first full-time office in Norman, Oklahoma in 1969 and as the business began to take flight other entrepreneurs who could see this incredible opportunity came on board to help put systems in place for opening new areas. Then, with its most ambitious decision yet, Jani-King embraced the franchise concept in 1974 and sold its first unit franchise in Oklahoma. Soon the company would begin to expand into other markets. As more franchisees invested and more support was established, the company moved its headquarters to the Dallas, TX area and began its national development plans. The company continued its upward growth, expanding its franchise system state-by-state over the next 10 years. Jani-King's steady domestic 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 23 more times. 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. In 1998, Entrepreneur magazine ranked Jani-King the No. 1 Maintenance Franchise and the No. 1 International Franchise in its Top 200 list. Following the turn of the new millennium, Jani-King boasted more than 12,000 franchisees in 17 countries. The company also bolstered its system and programs by focusing on specialty divisions that trained franchisees to clean hotels, resorts, hospitals, surgery centers and educational facilities. With regional support offices all over the country, Jani-King’s national accounts program was also in full-swing and now provides a one-stop shop for customers with multiple locations. Today, Jani-King’s healthcare services team trains franchisees to provide environmental services to hospitals and other health treatment facilities, helping to reduce Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI’s). This is a critical role in the health and recovery of patients whose immune systems may already be compromised. Jani-King franchisees also participate in housekeeping training in order to clean hotels, resorts and timeshare properties. An area that has seen tremendous growth over the past few years for Jani-King has been within the stadium and event facility industry. With more than 40 team partnerships, Jani-King has become a trusted service provider to many of the world’s largest event facilities including AT&T Stadium as well as the host stadiums for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. ==Sponsorships== Jani-King has several sports partnerships and is the Official Cleaning Company of the PGA of America among many others. Sponsorships also include Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Texas Rangers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, University of Oklahoma, University of Oregon, Sears Centre Arena (Chicago). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jani-King」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
