Jani-King of Greensboro, a master
franchise regional office of Jani-King
International, is excited to announce that local unit franchisee Tyrone
Tyson was recently featured as the cover story in the August 2010 issue of Black
Business Ink magazine, a business publication targeting the Greensboro, NC
market.
Tyson, also a pastor at Freedom
Baptist Church, looked to Jani-King when his former employer forced a schedule
change that didn’t match his priorities.
“The new schedule interfered
with church, that was the main factor, so I took a leap of faith,” he
says. “I believe in God before I believe in any job.”
Initially, Tyson left his
full-time job and took a position as a worker for a friend who owned a Jani-King franchise.
Over the next year, Tyson picked up trash while gaining valuable insight into
the commercial
cleaning industry and Jani-King franchise
opportunity.
Tyson purchased the Jani-King franchise
from his short term employer two years ago. Less than a year later, his
franchise was offered a janitorial account at the new BB&T Ballpark in downtown Winston-Salem. Since the beginning, Tyson has relied on the
support of Jani-King’s regional office including bidding accounts such as the
ballpark.
“That’s one of the good
things about the Jani-King
franchise. On many projects the regional office handles the bidding
process,” Tyson says. “They provided the opportunity; all I had to do
was be prepared to take advantage of it.”
