NAPLES, Fla. — Clean Brands™ LLC, the parent of Martinizing® Cleaners and Lapels Cleaners, has added Jennifer Fields to its leadership team.
As the vice president of franchise operations, Fields will leverage more than 20 years of franchising experience to assist the Clean Brands team and help its franchise owners drive operational excellence and organizational growth.
“We are lucky to have recruited such an incredible franchise leader to join our brand,” says Kevin DuBois, CEO of Clean Brands. “Jennifer has decades worth of experience and know-how in franchise practices and processes that will benefit incoming franchise owners as well as existing franchise owners.
"The timing is perfect with the addition of both our Lapels Laundromat model as well as our new Clean Exit initiative that focuses on converting mom and pop cleaners and then offering them as a cash-flowing franchise from day one.”
Fields joins Clean Brands after nearly a decade at Franworth, where she partnered with emerging franchise brands to help them grow and scale. Most recently, she served as chief operating officer, leading the creation of scalable infrastructure and systems that empowered both her team and franchisees to succeed. She previously held the role of vice president of operations.
Earlier in her career, Fields spent nearly a dozen years in management for Children’s Orchard, a children’s resale clothing franchise.
She says she loves working in fast-paced environments where she can leverage her skills in operations and franchise management to create long-lasting solutions.
“That’s exactly why franchise support is my passion," Fields says. "Every franchisee represents someone who achieved the American dream of starting their own business to secure generational wealth and stability while also doing good for those in their community. I’m looking forward to making a difference and working to make our franchisees’ lives easier, more profitable and more rewarding.”
Fields has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan and a master’s degree in business administration from Baker College.
Clean Brands LLC has more than 350 affiliated companies operating in 40 states and six countries. With several hundred entrepreneurs working under the brand’s umbrella, the company says, Fields is poised to make an immediate impact.
