Addison, TX - 5 April, 2005 -

Jani-King International, the world’s largest commercial cleaning franchise company, is proud to announce the expansion of its services to Portugal. Master franchise owners Carlos Neves and Isabel Monteiro will open their first Jani-King regional office in Lisbon with future plans of expansion throughout the country. Portugal becomes the 20th country in which Jani-King International has established a regional office location. “Jani-King has a system that has been tested and proven successful many times over,” said Neves. “We looked at several franchise opportunities including security systems and internet franchises, but the start up of so many Jani-King franchises each year indicates that the system works and the market for cleaning services is very large.” Neves feels that the policies, procedures and standards that Jani-King offers will set him apart from any local cleaning companies. “We will provide better quality in the Portuguese market,” said Neves. “The U.S. has the most advanced standards and systems and that is what I envision for Jani-King of Portugal.” “We are pleased to be working with Carlos and Isabel,” said Gary Dick, Vice President of Jani-King Franchising, Inc. “We are confident that our concept and expertise combined with Carlos and Isabel’s entrepreneurial spirit will be a success in Portugal.” Dick went on to say that the addition of Portugal to the Jani-King family further exemplifies that the Jani-King franchising system is effective throughout Europe and around the world. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Jani-King Jani-King is the world’s largest commercial cleaning franchisor with over 10,500 franchise owners worldwide.
