THE MAIDS
The Maids franchise provides household maintenance and cleaning services through franchised and company-owned territories. Franchisees operate cleaning businesses that deliver efficient home cleaning services using maid teams and vehicles, potentially incorporating the Mr. Clean trademark. The target market consists of residential customers in defined territories who lack the time or desire to clean their homes regularly.
Franchise Costs
6.9% to 3.9% royalty (tiered by gross revenues) + 2% marketing fund + 0.25% technology fund + $140/mo software fee
Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 99 Franchised Outlets operating in 329 Territories that were in operation for the full Measurement Period or closed during the Measurement Period and that submitted complete reports to us ('Reporting Franchised Outlets').
* The document provides 'Revenue Per Clean' and 'Annual Revenue per Recurring Customer' for franchised outlets within 'Table I'. However, these figures represent operational metrics per service or per customer, not the overall 'average gross revenue per franchise unit' as defined by the user's criteria (typically $100K - $10M per unit). No other data representing the total gross revenue, profit, or EBITDA for an entire franchise unit was found. Therefore, unit-level gross revenue and all related profit/EBITDA metrics cannot be extracted or estimated from the provided information.
