Janitorial Solutions Receives Small Business Award

The Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce is proud to award the July Small Business Award to Janitorial Solutions owned by Gary Newcome. 

Janitorial Solutions (formerly known as Janitorial Supply) has a rich history dating back to 1943, when Fred Blick and his family founded the company as a window washing business. Over the years, it has evolved significantly, particularly after the 2008 recession, when Gary Newcome purchased the business from Fred in 2011. Gary's decision to diversify and modernize the company has been instrumental in its growth and success.

 When Gary took over, he began transforming Janitorial Solutions, modernizing operations and expanding their reach. Today, the company operates a 26,000-square-foot facility, with Janitorial Solutions occupying 15,000 square feet of that space. Their employee count has tripled, and they've doubled their sales, largely thanks to their commitment to meeting customers where they are and providing on-site training and expertise.

Janitorial Solutions' vision has always been to be a comprehensive solution for their customers. They offer not just competitive pricing, but also unparalleled expertise in their industry. From infectious disease protocols to managing gym floors, they are dedicated to helping businesses maintain clean and safe environments.

One of the key factors in their success is their exceptional team. Tim Dawson manages the day-to-day activities while Gary focuses on strategic growth. They offer a range of benefits to their employees, including retirement matching, flexible schedules, and financial incentives. Their culture of valuing and supporting employees has created a dedicated and motivated team that is integral to their success.

Janitorial Solutions is not just about business; they are deeply invested in our community. They support local schools, nursing homes, and churches, and encourage their employees to participate in community service. Their commitment to giving back has built strong relationships and loyalty within the community.

Janitorial Solutions changed their name to reflect the broader vision of providing more than just products. They have ambitious plans for growth and expansion, and aim to continue providing exceptional service and innovative solutions, making them a trusted partner for businesses across Kansas.
