Angie Browning and her husband Bob have a shared life story of a kind that you certainly do not hear about everyday. They were referred to NAS for this Spotlight by a mutual business acquaintance because of their interesting backgrounds and the unique circumstances under which they came to take charge of Kleen Sweep TX, LLC, in Kilgore, about 120 miles due east of Dallas. The couple took over management of the company
from Angie’s mother Joan, when she finally decided to retire. She had been running the business alone since her husband died. But Angie and Bob were, themselves, already retired! Wait. You may wonder – how old are these people? Lol. The Brownings had retired very young.
The Brownings’ story is about a big life led by one of

the powersweeping industry’s most dynamic couples.
Angie and Bob had retired from their high-powered careers, her as a commercial real estate sales rep and him as an onsite construction manager overseeing development of hospitals, hotels, etc., for an industrial building contractor. The couple came out of retirement to buy the family business started by her father in 1979. They’re now turning an average mom ‘n pop sweeping
business into a fast growing regional competitor in eastern Texas.
Angie reflects, I started out in commercial property acquisition, then moved on to the residential real estate sales in the Dallas metroplex. I had also dabbled in commercial real estate site selection. Then, I went to work for Freddie Mac. Brokers and realtors on the team would go out and take pictures of houses, provide

overviews, and gather comps (sold and current). Then I made the decision to repair or sell each property as-is, determined a price to put on it, and then negotiated to sell it.
My husband was in commercial construction management. He built the Blue Cross Blue Shield offices in Dallas, hotels, and other high-rises. When we got together, he was commuting by plane to build out the last undeveloped lot in downtown Chicago at that time.
We were retired and living on a golf course in a community outside Tyler, Texas, when, one day my mother said, “I’m 82 and ready to retire.” So, she sold
us the business and the 10 acres my parents lived on for 33 years. I was still young; I had retired fairly young. Because my husband and I had backgrounds in different areas of real estate, when we bought my parents’ business together, we felt like between the two of us we had a good working knowledge of what commercial property owners and managers want. For me, running this company now is much about preserving a family business legacy. I wasn’t looking for something. But this business keeps my family’s memories alive. I’m a natural tomboy, so I like to drive the trucks. In fact, when we get finished talking, I’m going out to do some street sweeping.
The whole story of how we got into this started all the way back when my parents moved away from our hometown. We grew up in Paris, Tx. All my family, including my great grandparents, lived in Paris. My parents did the bravest thing. They sold everything and moved to Longview and started an unheard of

business in 1979. They took a chance on something new, a niche market. My dad would drive the trucks at night and my mom worked during the day. Some of our customers today are ones we’ve had for 45 years, the full length of time our company has been open. When my dad got sick, my sister and I would come over and help my mom. My foreman started working for my dad while he was still in high school, and he is still with me today. When Daddy passed away, our foreman stayed on. I came in and helped with the books, both my sons worked on the trucks, and Mama kept the business going. My sons had grown up repairing the trucks with my dad. When Mom retired,
neither of my sons was positioned to buy the business. They have their own families and jobs.
The company’s shop is on the acreage where my parents lived. The trucks had been parked outside throughout the years. When we took it over from my mom in 2021, we built a metal building with a threestall garage to work on the trucks. My office is also in the building, and the employees have an office and a full bath in the building too.
We completed that building and then started working on remodeling her house (on the 10 acres they lived on). We were going to move into it, and my mom was going to move into a smaller place next door, but she continued on page 14
passed away. We have two very long-term employees. It’s important to me to keep our workers employed. But I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy it. As I said, it’s more about the legacy than the job.
A lot of our sales come from word of mouth, though I do go out to do some selling, and my husband is a gem at sales. If we go to a restaurant, he may tell the host, “We came in and the lot was filthy.” He is more of an extrovert than I am. But I’m pretty good at the marketing too. For example, I just made up a nice little brochure because we have expanded with the new trucks.
I was having to sub out a lot of work to Bob Stumpf and his wife Connie who own BZ & Sons, a sweeping and outdoor maintenance company in Paris. I believe
his father is the one who got my father into the business, and he has mentored me. Bob was coming and doing all my heavy-duty work, and I was paying myself to shuffle paperwork.
I told my husband that this is the direction the business is going, and we have to go with it. We can stay small, or grow and be ready. If the market goes toward using AI or battery-powered vehicles to clean parking lots, we’ll still be set to compete. Now I can do the sweeping work myself. I have drivers; they do the heavy lifting. Unless somebody’s sick. Then I go out. And if there’s daytime work, I take that.
We do some portering; our regular drivers do that.
We also serve to support property management however we can and try to be a one-stop shop for
our customers. What we can’t do ourselves, we can help get done through our connections. For example, the head of construction for a large grocery store we service asked if we can powerwash. So I made a call to someone we know who does a good job with that. We have a network of relationships with other vendors who are happy to work with me and respond quickly. For parking lot striping, asphalt seal coating, powerwashing, plumbing, electrical work, locksmith work, cleanouts, or whatever a customer needs. If it’s a really large job and ongoing, I try to pay my mentoring forward. For example, one of my powerwashers is a young fella trying to get into the business. I call him and let him do that work if it will be ongoing. But for a one-off job, I’ll usually just do the paperwork. It can take too long for a new service provider to get that paperwork together. You have to supply customers with the insurance documentation, business license, etc.. Written recommendations are good to have too.

We have serviced a small municipality that doesn’t have their own trucks. We currently have a bid in for municipal street sweeping. We do industrial cleanup. For example, last week we swept two SWEPCO facilities for their environmental audits, and when The Gap was doing their distribution center, we would drive through the facility interior to do powersweeping.
I have 3 Schwarze Super Vac Updraft trucks, and recently I had 2 Mascos and sold those. They were old. I’m not sure Kleen Sweep has ever owned two brand new trucks until now. My foreman and I flew to Alabama to meet with the people at Victory. They are so wonderful. We picked up two sweepers and drove them back to Texas. That was a trip!
They were so gracious. We talked to everyone in the Victory office. They picked us up from the airport. Went to their business office and their facility where they put everything together. They also showed us the parts facility where we could order, even for our other brands of trucks. And, they walked us through all the

features of the two vehicles. They’re beautiful. It’s like driving a movie theater.
We got back to Texas the next day. Since then, every time I pick up the phone to call them to ask what does this or that do, a mechanic gives us step by step instructions. They’re very responsive.
After we got the two new trucks home, I noticed a couple of things I wished I had gotten on them. One is a magnet that goes all the way across the truck. It kind of drags the ground and picks up everything. Ao, we retrofit the bigger truck to add that. It works fabulously.
When I purchased these two sweeper trucks, I had been looking at different types of vehicles. I wasn’t settled on Victory at the time. Though I had started kind of leaning that way, I really was just looking for a good deal. It was a big deal to buy two brand new trucks. It was a giant leap of faith. They‘ve stayed with us as we’ve been getting familiar with the trucks, and it’s all gone very smoothly for us because of that.
Note: All Kleen Sweep trucks are equipped with a GPS
system that enables thorough reporting and first-hand performance reviews by our customers and team.
A priority objective for us is to pull the company into the 21st century. My parents were very comfortable with their customers and income. They did things the old fashioned way. They ran it for over 40 years. Mom used Quickbooks. She also wrote everything down. I came in yearly and did the books to close out the annual period. I saw everything she managed in those manual processes.
So, my mom wasn’t kidding when she said she was tired. The first thing we did after taking over management was automate everything in the office and all the trucks up to inspection-ready condition. We spent a great deal of time and money doing all that. The first year we bought two Schwarze Updrafts. We flew up to Alabama and drove those home. Then, we looked around to see what we could do to provide a more value-added service for our customers. We want to provide them with the best customer experience possible.
It’s a culture change for the employees. Jeremiah, our foreman has been with the company for 30 years or so, off and on. (My mother employed Jeremiah’s mother.) Karen, our only female driver, has been here around 20 years. And Daniel has been with us over 4 years. We are focused now on a fully proactive, not reactive, approach to service. We have a group text app. Employees out in the field can take pictures on customers’ lots, send them to me, and I forward them to the property managers. We do monthly reports for property managers who want them. They’re like a

My advice is to find a networking group. We belong to a couple of chambers of commerce. We’re such a niche business that there’s not a local group for just powersweeping companies. Longview Connections is a great local collaborative business group in our area. Their slogan is “community over competition.” We’ve got bankers, insurance agents, and all kinds of other local businesses in the group. If there’s not a group you can join in your area — make one.
Also, make sure you have your business cards with you everywhere you go. Everywhere is an opportunity. Just look around. There are also several good Facebook groups and other social media groups where you can meet other business operators. We have been a female-owned family business for much of the over 40 years since the company was founded. For a long time, during my time here as a woman in a male-dominated business, I was afraid I’d sound stupid when I asked questions. But most everyone is very kind. Put yourself out there. There are plenty of people out there willing to help you.
NAPSA is a good organization to join. They put out a monthly newsletter, and there’s a conference call with one of the members conducting it monthly. They talk about all things important to sweeping business
operators, from insurance to managing problems, like how to handle trips and falls, or how to deal with a big box store trying to contract [re: third-party], anything you can think of related to the business.
There’s a lot of information out there and people willing to share their knowledge to help. There are resources to cover the gamut of things you need to know. We always feel fortunate every time we find people who are very gracious and helpful.

Keeping city streets clean is about more than visual appeal. Regular street sweeping supports public safety, public health and environmental protection. Similarly, street sweeping requires more than just powerful machines making straight runs to whisk away dirt and debris. It demands precision, especially when sweeping around obstacles like parked cars, utility poles or curbside vegetation.
Whether operators use mechanical broom sweepers, regenerative air or vacuum systems, strategic maneuvering and thoughtful operation are essential for complete and efficient cleaning. Each type of street sweeper is suitable for different urban and environmental needs. Mechanical broom sweepers rely on rotating brushes to push debris into a hopper. Regenerative air sweepers use blasts of high-

velocity air combined with suction to clean surfaces, while vacuum sweepers employ a straightforward suction system. Waterless sweepers, such as those used by many municipalities prioritizing sustainability, combine vacuum and mechanical features with advanced dust-control systems that eliminate the need for water.
Here are a few best practices for operators navigating
obstacles on and next to streets:
4 Use gutter brooms for curb work. Extendable gutter brooms, available on many models like those from Elgin Sweeper, are ideal for sweeping close to curbs, storm drains and along parked vehicles. Their flexibility allows operators to reach debris without causing damage.
4 Slow and steady wins the race. Reducing speed
when approaching obstacles improves accuracy and prevents the machine from skipping debris hidden behind or under objects.
4 Maneuverability is key . Street sweepers with tight turning radii are better equipped to navigate around light poles, traffic islands and road signage.
4 Sweep in sections. When sweeping near obstacles, breaking up the job into smaller segments ensures nothing is missed. Making multiple passes may be necessary in heavily obstructed areas.
4 Leverage camera and sensor systems. Many modern sweepers, including select Elgin models, feature advanced visibility and guidance systems to help operators detect nearby objects and adjust their approach in real time. DualEyes Camera System for example is Elgin Sweeper’s system for increased visibility on the front right tire and front right corner of the sweeper in addition to the right-side broom. This enhanced visibility of the curbline shows any possible obstructions in the sweeper’s path.
Look for street sweepers engineered with challenges in mind, offering versatile broom configurations and intelligent design features that help operators clean efficiently — even around the most stubborn obstacles. With the right techniques and the right equipment, cities can keep their streets safer, cleaner and looking their best. For more information, visit ElginSweeper.com.

The 2025 1-800 Sweeper Summit in Las Vegas last week rendered a vast wealth of actionable information for powersweeping business owners.
One of the most popular topics of the roundtable event was “Starting, Transitioning, or Expanding into New or Adjacent Service Markets.” This roundtable discussion was facilitated by Craig Diebert, owner of Select Sweeping, Fresno CA. Here, Craig generously shares with NAS readers the highlights of the discussion to help encourage operators to implement proven approaches to boosting performance and growing their sweeping businesses:
SWEEPER SUMMIT ROUNDTABLE ON TRANSFORMING YOUR POWERSWEEPING BUSINESS
At the roundtable session, we started off with basic ideas, thoughts on what sweeping companies get into when working to transform their businesses into stronger competitors. Everyone then participated in asking questions and/or sharing information about how they’ve expanded their businesses. They talked about what they’ve done that has worked best for them.
Growth by Building on Existing Strengths
Key points that came out of the discussion included focusing on expanding your business by building on existing strengths. For example, leveraging the customer base, the existing routes, the available equipment, and the honed skills of the current staff. There was also emphasis on the importance of targeting your growth direction on following current customers’ needs and expressed demands. The suggestion seems intuitive, but is often overlooked as a growth strategy. It’s simply to think about what your customers are asking from you, and direct efforts toward delivering on what they want.
There was also strong emphasis in the group discussion on the need for sweeping company owners to be careful to evaluate the potential liabilities inherent in pursuing new paths, trying new things in expansion activities. All agreed on the critical importance of understanding the scope of the growth activities and clearly defining that scope for the team and customers. That helps ensure that the business owner is not opening up too much, i.e., not exposing the company to undue risk.
The overarching point of this part of the roundtable discussion was to advance on growth initiatives while carefully protecting your core business — to
prevent distraction from your bread-and-butter revenue generators. By now, most long-time owners in the industry have received their knowledge of this fundamental from others’ experience, or they’ve learned it the hard way. For the uninitiated, grasping this priority is often the difference between optimizing growth and offsetting gains by inadvertently losing too much of what they’ve already achieved in building a business, by letting everyday responsibilities for maintaining what they’ve built be neglected during an aggressive growth phase.
This was one of the most exciting ideas that came up during the roundtable — assigning a champion, finding an internal leader to help with the

adoption of the new expansion plan. This was perceived by all as a major advantage for company owners who have a talented pro to lead the charge.
Other subtopics of the roundtable discussion included realizing growth by figuring out ways to smooth seasonal disruptions in income flows by maximizing use of downtime in winter climates. The discussion turned to transitioning into different types of sweeping. For example, adding municipal street or HOA sweeping, or milling cleanup, and/or adjacent types of revenue lines. [Other options, of course, may include adding related services or rental products.]
This invaluable roundtable explored how sweeping contractors can start new operations, transition into different types of sweeping, or expand into adjacent service markets while balancing investment, market opportunity, and operational readiness to make informed business decisions that support growth and stability.
On the broader view of the roundtable event, there were a total of 5 tables. The discussion of transforming sweeping businesses was conducted at one table, with the other four tables set up for discussions of other important topics for company owners.
All together, there was a great amount of outstanding knowledge offered to help business owners transform average or ailing sweeping services into strong competitors in their markets and to adopt solutions to many other key challenges for operators in the industry.

The 2025 International Sweeper Summit & Equipment Expo, held November 4–6 at the stunning JW Marriott in Las Vegas, delivered everything it promised—and more. Sponsored by Alamo Sweeper Group , this year’s Summit brought together power sweeping contractors from across the country for three days of learning, connection, and collaboration. With more than 200 attendees and exhibitors, the event highlighted the strength and momentum of the sweeping industry.
The Summit launched with a fun group outing at Top Golf, sponsored by Pritchard Commercial It was the perfect setting to break the ice—great BBQ, cold beverages, shared laughs, and a relaxed atmosphere where it didn’t matter whether you hit the target or missed entirely. The focus was on building relationships, and this fun kickoff helped set the tone for the productive days that followed. Later that evening, the energy continued at the Exhibitor Welcome Reception, sponsored by Cross Insurance . Vendors proudly showcased their newest products and innovations in the indoor exhibit area, giving attendees a first look at what’s shaping the future of the industry.
Wednesday shifted into education mode, headlined by an inspiring keynote presentation from Harry Campbell, sponsored by United Rotary Brush . Known for identifying and developing exceptional talent, Campbell delivered his impactful Get-Real Mindset—a
powerful reminder that trust, respect, and genuine care are the true drivers of business success. His message resonated deeply with the crowd.
Attendees then headed outdoors for a rotating manufacturers’ roundtable, where hands-on demonstrations and open dialogue helped bridge gaps between contractors and the equipment they rely on every day.
Lunch, sponsored by TYMCO, fueled everyone for the next round of learning as NAPSA facilitated five rotating roundtable discussions on some of the industry’s most pressing topics. The day ended with a celebration of NAPSA’s 25th Anniversary, honoring past presidents during a cocktail reception before attendees gathered for dinner—sponsored by Keystone Plastics—in the Valencia Ballroom rotunda.
Thursday wrapped up the Summit with a targeted education session on breaking into the paving and milling market. Led by a panel of sweeping industry experts, the session delivered a practical, interactive deep dive into what it truly takes to enter sweeping for these specialized services—offering invaluable
guidance for contractors looking to expand their business.
This year we also introduced an exciting new feature: Manufacturer Ride-A-Longs. Many attendees eagerly took advantage of the opportunity to hop into the sweeper models they were considering, experiencing the equipment firsthand before making a purchase decision.
In the end, the International Sweeper Summit & Equipment Expo proved once again why it stands as the premier gathering for power sweeping professionals. The Sweeper Summit continues to elevate the industry through innovation, education, and community.
