History:

Founded in 1979 in Omaha, Nebraska, Merry Maids began as a family-owned cleaning company serving the local community. As Merry Maids began to grow, our founder realized his business model could help other families build legacies of their own while taking care of their communities across the country. So, in 1988, Merry Maids became a franchise opportunity, operating with the same people-first mentality that helped us launch our brand nationwide. 

Testimonial:

“I really wanted to be comfortable in the decision to move from the corporate environment to being an entrepreneur. I really wanted something that had a strong backing to it and a strong foundation and a good business model I could incorporate and eventually run with. It offered greater confidence starting a new franchise versus having to start from scratch on my own.” 
Austin Schneeweis, Merry Maids Franchisee

“I’m very glad to have chosen Merry Maids. Since we have opened our doors, we have had nothing but support and help, not only corporate, but also offices in the area! Merry Maids helps us to be successful by providing us with information and assisting us in a rapid manner. Support is always just a call away.” 
Brandin Bryant, Merry Maids Franchisee

“I love going to meetings with other Merry Maids owners and catching up. I’ve learned so much from other owners about what they’re doing in their office. It’s nice to share ideas and we’re always checking in on each other.”
Kim Brown, Merry Maids Franchisee
