COVERALL CLEANING CONCEPTS® ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF

THE 2005 FRANCHISE OWNERS OF THE YEAR AWARDS

BOCA RATON, FL – (March 7^th, 2006) – Coverall Cleaning Concepts, a leader in the commercial cleaning industry, announced today the recipients of their 2005 Franchise Owners of the Year Awards. Each year Coverall Cleaning Concepts announces the Franchise Owner of the Year Awards that are divided into three categories: small, medium and large, which are determined by annual billings. The winner in the medium size category is Ralph Mason, Franchise Owner out of the Coverall Cleaning Concepts Detroit Support Center.

Ralph Mason has been a Coverall Cleaning Concepts Franchise Owner for almost ten years and has had a remarkable 100% customer retention rate. He is known for taking on challenging clients and turning them into loyal customers. Mason has faced his own challenges after becoming disabled in 1987, but has not let that keep him inactive as he is certified in both carpet and hard floor care.

“Coverall Cleaning Concepts is extremely impressed by Ralph Mason’s business sense,” stated Ted Elliott, President and Chief Executive Officer of Coverall Cleaning Concepts. “We wish him continued success, and we will assist him as he continues to grow his business.”

The recipients were nominated by their Support Center’s Regional Director, who submitted a nomination with a brief summary, highlighting the reasons why these Franchise Owners should be chosen as Franchise Owner of the Year. Mason is part of an elite group as one of twenty-five nominated in the medium category from a total of almost 9,000 Franchise Owners. The judges were comprised of members of Coverall Cleaning Concepts senior management, who voted through silent ballot.

In recognition for his achievement, Ralph Mason will receive a $1,000 check and congratulatory plaque, which will be presented by his Regional Director, Dawn Bartolone out of the Detroit Support Center.

Since 2000, the number of Coverall Cleaning Concepts Franchise Owners has increased 81% to over 8,500 and the number of customer accounts has increased 54% to nearly 40,000. Coverall has been recognized for its success by the Stevie Awards, an international organization created to enhance the profile of exemplary companies and individuals through public recognition, as the Best Support Organization in 2004 and 2005.
