Anago of Charlotte

General information

David Povlitz, Chairman and Founder of Anago Cleaning Systems, owned and operated a commercial cleaning business in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan for over 15 years. He obtained several blue chip cleaning contracts, such as the Pontiac Silverdome and the million square foot McNamara office building. He realized the need for an organized work order program and created one, along with a marketing and sales program to ensure growth. He perfected these systems when he moved to South Florida in 1989 and Anago was born.
The name Anago is derived from the Greek-Latin term "anagogue", meaning to guide or uplift. Anago was founded with that principle - to guide and uplift the lives of our Master and Unit Franchisees to achieve success.

By 1991, Povlitz was offering individuals the chance for franchise business ownership though Anago's Unit Franchise program. In 1995, the first Master Franchise was sold, and continued growth has led Anago Cleaning Systems to achieve 35+ Master Franchise locations and over 1,400 Unit Franchisees across the U.S. and internationally. Dave Povlitz's philosophy is to be the best franchise system, the best commercial cleaning service and the best company for people to realize their dream of business ownership.
