This dates back to 1979 when Dan Bishop, an entrepreneurial success by age 21 in commercial cleaning, founded the company in his home town of Omaha, NE. From the start, The Maids focused on residential deep cleaning for time-starved, busy families. After growth of the company was impressive and undeniable, Dan Bishop began franchising one year later, and business continued to boom. The Maids was the first residential cleaning service to focus on cleaning for health. The Maids researched environmentally preferred cleaning products and worked to change the landscape of cleaning by ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment. Today, The Maids offers deep cleaning services in over 90 major US and Canadian cities and remains one of the best franchises to purchase. Our system has been a success for the last 38 years, and are looking to grow our 135 franchise owner base in the US and Canada with new owners who want to be part of our story. read more
