Mr Window Keeps His Eyes on Building a Franchise

One Bucket Leads to 14 Years of Successful Business

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The destiny of some people is as clear as glass. Others struggle for years before accidentally stumbling into it. Garry Jalowka's window cleaning role evolved from an in-between job into a life-changing window of opportunity.

In 1993 -- then a struggling actor -- Jalowka needed a steady income. His uncle made a decent living washing windows. Jalowka asked himself, "how hard could it be?"

Apparently, more difficult than he'd anticipated.

"Many people assume window cleaning is pretty simple," Jalowka said. "I quickly had to learn all the tricks and industry tips required to become a professional window cleaner."

To motivate him, Jalowka's girlfriend -- now his wife -- laid down a challenge. As soon as he had three clients lined up, she would put up the $100 loan needed to start his business.

He started with one bucket and a squeegee, riding to jobs on public buses. 14 years later, Jalowka's business, Mr Window Cleaning, is doing so well that they're about to start franchising.

"I envision Mr Window becoming a household name someday," Jalowka said. "Franchising is the best way to reach that goal."

Jalowka also sees this as an opportunity to help others achieve their own goals of being their own boss, and enjoying the financial freedom and flexible work schedule Mr Window has provided him and his family.

"My passion now is to teach others how to be successful and generate their own wealth," Jalowka said.

Initial franchises -- in California, Nevada and Arizona -- will offer window cleaning, awning cleaning, power washing and blind cleaning. Additional services will eventually originate from Franchise Headquarters.

What separates Mr Window from other franchise opportunities is its infrastructure. "We're centralizing office duties at a corporate level," Jalowka said. "This will help franchisees to concentrate on growing their business."

Mr Window offers high quality, reliable services at competitive prices to commercial and residential clients of all sizes. "If there's glass on your building or home, it's our job to keep it clean," Jalowka said.
