We do have a case against Jan-Pro that is in pre-litigation in Federal Court. In this case, we are attempting to get the judge to approve this case as a national class action lawsuit. This means, that every franchise in the country that wants to participate in the case can file a claim. We have not had a ruling on this issue yet. Therefore, if the case is approved as a class action, you will automatically receive a notice either from us or the court and it will ask you if you want to participate in the case. If you would like, I can keep your contact information in our database so that in the event it is not approved as a class action, we can let you know and discuss other methods for proceeding. This is what I have to say: Please tell your fellow franchisees about this lawsuit, the more we get involved the better results we can get. I am a current franchisee in NC. I have been involved with Jan pro for almost four year. I have not seen a sign of a real business so far. I have been in business for myself since 1997 (Landscaping). I thought this "cleaning business" was going to take to the next level. What a disappointment. This business model probably worked 10 years ago. This business model is collapsing because there are so many imitators overselling it. Right now is legal scam. Do you want to ask me questions about my experiences with Jan Pro, please email me: jfcita@nc.rr.com Please read this info about the situation with Jan Pro:

Recently I made a deal with another JanPro franchisee where I paid him x amount for his bussiness he wanted to get out because he landed a hourly job with a school. after a matter of months of having paid I started losing his accounts. Well I figure no problem Janpro garrenties their accounts you buy for one year atleast thats how ;they do it here where I live.Well I was told that since I brought the accounts from someone else and not them , and even though they were garentied to him they are not garretied tho me. I could go on and on on how oneside JanPro is. Please excuse the spelling. I own a JanPro Franshise not really happy but the economy being what it is I bare it out.

I am an active franchisee in NC. The latest "business" offer I got is so out of reality that I will be better off working for a fast-food restaurant making minimum wage. I am hoping that the case presented in the Supreme Court gains the status of class action law suit. This business model of selling an illusion has to stop.

I don't see how you can sleep well at night. I have heard so many Horror stories from so many people from all over the country on how they got ripedoff. 1. No you don't own your own business, jan-pro controls you. Jan-pro will fine you for many different reasons and comand you on what to do. 2. When they haven't fullfilled your contract and time is up. Tthey wont give people there money back like they say they will. 3. If you don't accept there contracts because there not profitable, to far away or at the wrong time they count those against you. This is a scam and a crime that needs to be prosecuted. 4. Charles you don't make sence, You said you joined jan-pro and then you went and got your own accounts by yourself? Why would you join jan-pro for then? How would you get your own accounts if you were new at the business? You make absolutely no sence! 5. They underbid accounts so low that you make less than minimum wage! Charles by the way I have people calling me from Arizona wanting to join the lawsuit. Please read the following article that is about our National lawsuit about jan-pro. http://franchisetimes.com/content/story.php?article=01374 To Charles

I to own a janpro franchise and I am very happy with it. I have 4 accounts and I make about 2,000 a month and I only work three days a week and a total of 8 hours. What people don't understand is that you own a "BUSINESS!!!!! You are responsible to make your business grow not janpro. Yeah I can understand about them being late on giving you your contracts but when you do get them you should know what you are getting before you accept the contract. You need to read and do the math before you agree to take the contract. No one is going to hold your hand and do all the work for you. As a business owner you are in control of your own success not janpro. When I first brought my franchise I didn't wait for janpro to fulfill my accounts I went out and start getting my own accounts, so to all the people waiting for janpro to hold there hands and get them accounts. You need to remember you are a BUSINESS OWNER. try going out and getting business for yourself. And I am a real janpro franchise owner in Arizona...............
