A Notable Honor for the Founder Behind One of Franchising’s Most Respected Brands
Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning is thrilled to share that Jonathan Barnett, the Founder and Owner of Oxi Fresh, has been named one of the 2026 Colorado Titan 100 honorees—a prestigious designation recognizing the state’s Top 100 CEOs and C-Level Executives. Barnett joins an elite group of business leaders selected for their extraordinary vision, leadership, and impact on Colorado’s business landscape.
The Titan 100 is one of the fastest-growing executive recognition programs in the nation, operating across 12 markets. Honorees are nominated and selected through a rigorous process designed to identify leaders who don’t just build strong companies—they inspire transformation in others and leave a legacy that extends beyond the bottom line. The 2026 Colorado class represents organizations that collectively employ more than 266,000 people and generate over $20 billion in annual revenue.
For prospective Oxi Fresh franchisees, this recognition speaks volumes about the caliber of visionary leadership behind the brand they’d be joining.
Barnett founded Oxi Fresh in 2006 with a clear vision: to disrupt the carpet cleaning industry with a smarter, greener, and more efficient business model. The company’s fast-drying cleaning system, powerful marketing infrastructure, and commitment to its franchisees set it apart from competitors. Today, Oxi Fresh operates hundreds of franchise locations across the United States and Canada, consistently earning top rankings in leading franchise industry publications.
Building a franchise brand at this scale required more than a great product—it required a leader who understood what franchisees needed to thrive and who built systems that supported their goals. That’s the culture Barnett cultivated at Oxi Fresh from the very beginning.
“This recognition means a great deal to me, but what I’m most proud of is what it represents for our franchisees,” said Barnett. “Everything we built at Oxi Fresh was designed to give franchise owners a real path to achieve their goals—strong systems, a trusted brand, and support every step of the way. Seeing that work recognized is incredibly rewarding.”
Barnett stepped away from his role as CEO and President of Oxi Fresh earlier this year to lead BE FAST Software, his newest entrepreneurial venture. His departure from active leadership reflects both his confidence in the team he built and his continued drive to innovate—qualities that have defined his career and the brand he created.
The 2026 Titan 100 honorees will be celebrated at a formal awards event on June 4th, 2026, at The National Western Center – LVC Arena in Denver.
For entrepreneurs exploring franchise ownership, Oxi Fresh offers a proven model backed by two decades of experience and a founder whose leadership has once again been recognized on a major stage. This is a brand built on vision, validated by results, and designed with franchisees in mind.
