Vanguard Cleaning Systems Named to Black Enterprise Magazine's List of 40 Best Franchises
SAN MATEO, CA (September 2010) – Vanguard Cleaning Systems, a leading commercial cleaning franchise organization, announced that it has been included in Black Enterprise magazine’s list of “40 Best Franchises for African Americans.”
The list included a number of well-recognized consumer and business brands such as Denny’s, McDonald’s, Subway, Meineke Car Care and Maaco among others.
In developing the “40 Best Franchises for African Americans” list, Black Enterprise consulted with the International Franchise Association (IFA) to determine which sectors are experiencing the greatest growth in franchise unit sales and revenue generation. Franchisors were asked to complete surveys to provide information related to those organizations’ costs, diversity and inclusion efforts. Black Enterprise editors rated the franchises according to affordability, revenue potential, effectiveness of diversity programs and marketing/advertising support.
