About Us

Vacuum World & Janitorial Supplies has proudly served homeowners and businesses since 1976, when it was founded by Anthony Fraioli. Anthony built the business on a simple but lasting philosophy: treat every customer with honesty, respect, and exceptional service. More than just a business owner, he was a beloved member of the community who had a big heart and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. His kindness, generosity, and dedication earned the trust of countless customers and friendships that lasted for decades.

What began as a local vacuum retailer and repair shop has grown into a trusted source for vacuum cleaners, expert vacuum repairs, janitorial supplies, paper products, restaurant supplies, and commercial cleaning equipment throughout Connecticut and the surrounding region. While our product offerings have expanded over the years, the values Anthony established in 1976 continue to guide everything we do.

Today, Vacuum World & Janitorial Supplies proudly serves homeowners, businesses, cleaning professionals, schools, healthcare facilities, restaurants, property managers, and commercial organizations with dependable products, knowledgeable advice, and personalized customer service.

When Anthony Fraioli founded Vacuum World & Janitorial Supplies, his goal wasn't simply to sell products—it was to build relationships. He believed every customer deserved honest recommendations, fair pricing, and the kind of personal attention that has become increasingly rare. His willingness to help others, whether they were longtime customers or someone walking through the door for the first time, became the foundation of the business.

That commitment to service continues today. Every vacuum we repair, every janitorial supply order we fulfill, and every customer we assist reflects the same values Anthony instilled nearly five decades ago. We remain dedicated to providing quality products, expert guidance, and the friendly, dependable service our customers have come to expect.
