Grocare Management, Inc.

Grocare Management is a family- and minority-owned commercial cleaning company providing janitorial and custodial services to private schools, corporate offices, places of worship and publicly traded companies. Its porters and janitors work like an extension of a client’s facilities team, responding to housekeeping needs and staff requests. Health is a priority, with daily disinfection of high-touch surfaces, deep cleaning, specialty floor care, consumables management and reduced chemical exposure.

Founder Edgar Escobar came to the U.S. to build a better life for his family and worked his way up from mopping floors to leading teams across New England over more than 30 years. He started Grocare in 2012 and has refused to franchise, keeping tighter oversight, fairer pay and more consistency. Owners work with supervisors to plan and oversee every account, adjusting for school breaks and coordinating with vetted local vendors when needs extend beyond cleaning.
