EXPANSION PLANS SET FOR COVERALL CLEANING CONCEPTS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY

Ernie and Yvonne Gullett Give National Cleaning Chain a Local Face

HUEYSVILLE, KY – October 20, 2006 -- Ernie Gullett and his wife Yvonne are laying the groundwork to expand Coverall Cleaning Concepts of Eastern Kentucky, the four-and-a-half-year-old commercial cleaning franchise they bought this past August, with a push into new areas including Inez , Louisa and Prestonsburg. The franchise currently has over 16 cleaning accounts in Ashland, Pikeville and nearby locales.

“Our plan is to keep expanding our customer base in our current areas of strength as well as to extend our reach into areas where we’re not yet dominant,” Ernie Gullett says. “We’re going to do that by letting prospective clients know that we’re a professional cleaning business that is locally owned and supplying jobs for local people.”

The Gulletts are already successfully using that strategy to build the business in its traditional stronghold. They recently added Pikeville Medical Associates Building in Pikeville and John Gray Pontiac auto dealership in Paintsville to their customer portfolio, pushing the franchise’s revenues to a new high. Other accounts include Pepsi Bottling Co., a distributor with facilities in Pikeville, Hazard and Paintsville; the Valvoline Technology Building in Ashland; and the Departments of Forestry, Environmental Services and Mines and Minerals in Hazard.

The franchise currently has nine employees and is actively looking for more to support the planned expansion. Ernie Gullett is also sending his “locally owned” message to current customers by personally visiting each account every two weeks.

“I want them to see my face and realize that we’re not some foreign company coming in here wanting their business. We’re a local business hiring local people and keeping our revenue in the local area,” he says. “And of course, I want to make sure my people are doing a professional job, and meeting our customers’ expectations of a professional cleaning company.”

The Gulletts purchased the Coverall Cleaning Concepts franchise from fellow Kentucky entrepreneur Shane Hamilton after searching for an opportunity to own their own business. Ernie Gullett previously worked as Warehouse Manager for Pepsi Bottling Group in Pikeville, Ky, and Yvonne as a Sales Representative for Unity Communications in Prestonsburg, Ky.

Coverall Cleaning Concepts’ Franchise Owners provide cleaning services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Service offerings include routine cleaning as well as a menu of specialized and premium services including hard floor care, carpet cleaning, window/blind cleaning, restroom sanitation, ceiling and wall cleaning, and fire/flood restoration. All technicians meet U.S. standards for minimizing risk of disease transmission through proper cleaning techniques.
