BOCA RATON, Fla., -- Coverall Health-Based Cleaning System®, a leading franchisor of commercial cleaning businesses, announced today that it has been named one of the "50 Top Franchises for Minorities" by the National Minority Franchising Initiative (NMFI).

This is the fifth consecutive year that Coverall has been selected for the honor. The 2011 list of top franchises appeared in the Nov. 4 "Franchising Today" section of USA Today. For the second year in a row, Coverall recorded a minority participation rate of 91 percent, which was the third best rate of all the companies on the list.

The NMFI compiles the "top 50" list following an analysis of hundreds of companies and data that considers several factors, including the number of minority-owned units and minorities in senior management.

"Coverall is committed to providing a diverse group of people with the opportunity to be successful franchise owners," said Patrick Joyce, Coverall's Chief Operating Officer. "We are honored to be recognized again as one of the top franchises for minorities. We continue to offer comprehensive training and support for our franchisees to ensure they have everything they need to grow and develop their businesses and themselves."
