Mister Sweeper is one of the oldest and largest power sweeping companies in the United States. The company was founded in 1965 by David Franklin, prior to when most property managers had even heard of the concept of sweeping commercial properties. At that time there weren’t even a class of chassis-mounted sweepers being built for handling parking areas.
Dan Earl entered the sweeping industry in 2008, after selling his prior business and taking a few years off to a retirement he found to be boring. Earl had founded what became a very successful business that had only one thing in common with power sweeping: it was in another industry no one much thinks about, that of providing scale calibration services to the railroad industry.

In 2002, after former employer Interstate Sweeping closed their doors, Beth Krueger used her 20+ years of experience in the street sweeping industry and began putting together a list of clients broad enough to cover loan payments on her own street sweeper. Today, her company, Allstate Sweeping, is one of Colorado’s more well-known minority contractors, having been certified as a woman-owned business. Allstate Sweeping’s clients include RTD, one of Colorado’s public mass transit organizations, as well as the state’s Department of Transportation. Allstate Sweeping prides itself on its quality of work and its ability to pay their employees prevailing wage on more than 90% of their routes.
