Oxi Fresh Cleans Up on Entrepreneur's 2012 Franchise 500

LAKEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In less than six years, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning® has become the nation's fastest-growing, environmentally-friendly carpet cleaning franchise, growing to more than 235 locations in 45 states. Since 2008, Oxi Fresh's continued success has earned it top rankings in Entrepreneur magazine's Franchise 500. Now in 2012, despite a still sluggish economy, Oxi Fresh has ranked again, earning the #135 spot.

"Franchises are a great avenue to business ownership for those with the entrepreneurial spirit — and they're playing a definitive role in driving the economy upward," says Amy Cosper, VP and editor in chief of Entrepreneur. "Unit numbers from the Franchise 500® grew overall in 2010 and 2011, giving individuals a great place to begin investigating some of the brightest opportunities."

Oxi Fresh's exceptional growth rate earned the company a #30 ranking in the Top Home-Based Franchises category - up 4 points from 2011 - and a #19 ranking in the Low-Cost category - a 7-point increase over the 2011 ranking. Oxi Fresh placed #62 in the Fastest Growing Franchises category, which is based on the number of new franchise units added in the U.S. and Canada from 2010 to 2011.

"The fact that we are a low-cost, reputable, home-based franchise is directly tied to our impressive ranking in the Fastest-Growing category," said Jonathan Barnett, Oxi Fresh CEO and Founder.

With a total investment ranging between $34,630 and $57,010, Oxi Fresh is an excellent franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs due to the affordable, home-based nature of the business.
