OXI FRESH RANKS 34TH ON ENTREPRENEUR’S FRANCHISE 500 HOME BASED FRANCHISES LIST

Carpet Cleaning Franchise Places as One of Nation's Top Home-Based Opportunities

(Lakewood, CO.) - For five years, Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning®, one of the nation's fastest growing, environmentally-friendly carpet cleaning service franchises, has presented entrepreneurs with an affordable and successful business opportunity. Part of what makes Oxi Fresh franchising opportunities so affordable is the fact that the franchise is a home based opportunity with no overhead costs.

The company has received praise from Entrepreneur magazine as a home based franchise, ranking it #34 on Entrepreneur magazine's 2011 Franchise 500 "Home Based Franchises" list. Oxi Fresh significantly rose in the ranks on the "Home Based Franchises" list, climbing more than 50 spots since it last appeared on this list.

"This is the second time Oxi Fresh has been honored by Entrepreneur magazine as a top home-based franchise. We were ranked #85 last time we appeared on the list, and it's great to see how our growth as a franchising system is being nationally recognized," said Jonathan Barnett, Oxi Fresh founder and president.

With a total investment ranging between $34,000 and $57,000, Oxi Fresh is an affordable franchise opportunity for entrepreneurs thanks to the home-based nature of the business coupled with the lack of inventory needing restocking. In a related listing, Entrepreneur magazine ranked Oxi Fresh #26 in low-cost franchises in 2011.

Mr. Barnett has been featured on "Small Business, Big Ideas" on Fox Business News to discuss the Oxi Fresh franchise and its low overhead model. Oxi Fresh franchisees have protected territories, providing the opportunity to acquire lifetime customers.

Oxi Fresh employs a green carpet cleaning process which uses low-moisture levels (Oxi Fresh carpet cleaning uses 5% of the water that a typical carpet cleaning company uses) and non-toxic cleaning agents, one of which has even received the EPA's coveted Design for the Environment certification.
