Description

In a world where hygiene and operational efficiency have moved from the "background" to the "forefront" of every business strategy, Cleaning Depot by PBJ stands as a beacon of reliability. We aren't just a supply company; we are a partner in productivity. Established on the values of a family-run business and powered by a robust distribution model, Cleaning Depot by PBJ has spent over two decades mastering the art of the "one-stop-shop."

Our concept is simple yet powerful: we provide everything a business needs to function—from professional-grade janitorial and sanitation chemicals to office furniture, custom printing, and agricultural supplies. Our reputation in Southwestern Ontario is built on the promise of honest pricing, zero minimum orders, and lightning-fast delivery. In the Canadian market, where businesses are increasingly looking for ways to streamline their vendor lists, Cleaning Depot by PBJ offers a unique competitive advantage. We bridge the gap between massive, impersonal wholesalers and small, limited local retailers. By joining our franchise family, you aren't just opening a store; you are bringing a vital service hub to your community that supports schools, farms, hospitals, and local offices.


Background

  • Established Year: 2003

  • Franchising Commenced: 2023

  • Active Units: N/A

  • Founders: Paul and Bobbi Jo Stewart.

  • Brand Journey: What started as a local cleaning supply shop in Listowel, Ontario, founded by Paul Stewart with the mentorship of local leaders, has evolved into a comprehensive business supply powerhouse. Over 20 years, the brand expanded its catalog to include office supplies and equipment, eventually launching the franchise model to replicate their community-first success nationwide.

  • Market Presence: Strong roots in Southwestern Ontario (Perth County), currently expanding throughout the Canadian provinces.

  • Industry Category: Commercial & Residential Supplies / Janitorial & Sanitation / Office Services.


Support Training

We believe your success is our success. Our comprehensive support system includes:

  • Initial Training: A deep-dive program covering inventory management, product knowledge across all categories, and our proprietary sales techniques.

  • Pre-Launch Assistance: Help with site selection (if applicable), warehouse/showroom setup, and initial inventory ordering.

  • Marketing Support: National brand awareness campaigns combined with local marketing toolkits, digital presence management, and community engagement strategies (like our signature "Paper Drive" events).

  • Operational Support: Ongoing access to our centralized procurement system and "just-in-time" delivery logistics advice.

  • Academic/Technical Training: Continuous updates on new cleaning technologies, health and safety regulations, and software training for managing orders and CRM.


Ideal Candidate

We are looking for "Community Champions" rather than just silent investors. The ideal candidate features:

  • The "Relationship" Mindset: Someone who loves networking and building long-term trust with local business owners and farmers.

  • Business Background: Experience in operations, retail management, or sales is highly beneficial.

  • Financial Capability: Ability to meet the minimum liquid capital requirements and a commitment to growing the brand.

  • Passion for Service: A "customer-first" attitude—willing to go the extra mile to ensure a local office never runs out of paper or a farm never runs out of disinfectant.

  • Location Preference: Entrepreneurs looking to serve secondary markets, rural hubs, or bustling commercial zones within Canada.
