Hang & Shine: Everything Window Treatments
How two Carol Stream brothers built a 27-year blind cleaning and window treatment business from their parents' garage
Carol Stream, IL
In the heart of Carol Stream, a local gem shines brightly: Hang & Shine, Inc. Founded in 1998 by brothers Mike and Jon Franzone, this family-owned business has become a leader in blind cleaning and window treatment solutions.
How Did Mike and Jon Franzone Start Hang & Shine?
Mike and Jon's journey began in Carol Stream, where they attended Glenbard North High School before advancing their education. Mike played soccer at Lincoln College, while Jon pursued studies at Illinois State University. The turning point came when Mike discovered an ad for ultrasonic blind cleaning while working for a local carpet cleaning company. Recognizing the potential for a local blind cleaning service, Mike shared the vision with Jon, and together, they founded Hang & Shine.
In the early days, the brothers went door-to-door distributing flyers, offering blind cleaning services from their parents' garage. Their commitment paid off, and the business soon took off. As demand grew, Hang & Shine expanded its operations, moving into a commercial space and investing in a fleet of mobile trucks to offer on-site services.
