History
Established in 1969 by James Cavanaugh, Jr., Jani-King rose to visibility as the main sponsor of a NASCAR race held at Texas Motor Speedway in 2001. In 2019, a legal decision determined that a $2.3 million settlement paid by Cavanaugh due to a personal controversy could not be classified as a deductible business expense for his S corporation.
Current organization
With its headquarters situated in Addison, Texas, Jani-King provides support to more than 9,000 franchisees via regional offices that deliver specialized training and certification programs focused on cleaning services for hotels and hospitals. The company broadened its market reach in August 2012 by forming a partnership with the Buffalo Bills football franchise.
