OF MID-STATE CALIFORNIA, HONORED BY INC. MAGAZINE

CARPINTERIA, CA, (April 26, 2005) – Melton Franchise Systems announced today its inclusion in Inc. magazine’s “26 Entrepreneurs We Love and What You Can Learn From Them.” The article, which debuted in the April 1 issue of Inc., highlighted 26 entrepreneurs including the likes of Michael Dell, Martha Stewart, Richard Branson, Diane von Furstenberg and Mark Melton, the President and Founder of Melton Franchise Systems, which operates Coverall Cleaning Concepts of Mid-State California,

“Cleaning offices is not glamorous,” states Melton. “But it is stable, year-round and highly sought after, and no technology is going to make the industry obsolete.”

What makes a Melton franchise accessible is its low barrier of entry. A midlevel package is available for an investment of $11,750 with $6,000 down. This package guarantees an initial client base, which provides an immediate start to earning a return on the initial investment. The initial client base is provided to the franchisee by Melton Franchise Systems.

“Melton unequivocally deserves the amazing recognition he received from Inc. magazine,” stated Ted Elliott, President and CEO of Franchisor, Coverall Cleaning Concepts. “His dedication to giving people a shot at the American Dream with Coverall Cleaning Concepts’ low barrier to entry, makes him a great role-model for Coverall franchisees and others trying to become successful in their business ventures.”
