Franchise Appreciation Day: Shining a Spotlight on Our Dedicated Entrepreneurs

It's that time of year again! Franchise Appreciation Day is an opportunity for all of us at ServiceMaster® Brands to honor the hard work and dedication of our franchise owners. These intrepid entrepreneurs are the backbone of the company, providing needs-based residential and commercial services to communities across the globe. From disaster restoration to residential cleaning, ServiceMaster Brands' franchisees ensure that customers receive top-notch service, embodying the company's mission to always Be There When You Need Us™.

Supporting Our Franchisees

ServiceMaster Brands has a rich history of supporting its franchisees, offering comprehensive training, resources, and ongoing support to help them succeed. This commitment is reflected in the company's impressive rankings in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 list. "Our franchisees and their teams go above and beyond to provide exceptional service to their customers every single day," said Greg Weller, CEO of ServiceMaster Brands. "We are incredibly proud of their efforts to not only uphold the high standards of our brand but also create lasting positive impacts in the communities they serve. It's their unwavering passion and professionalism that drive our success and make us a trusted name in each industry we serve."

Community Impact

The success of ServiceMaster Brands' franchisees is not just measured by industry accolades but also by the positive impact they have on their local communities. Franchise owners often engage in community service, support local events, and provide essential services during times of crisis. Examples include our TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® brand's national giving program, Movers for Moms®, which collects essential and feel-good items for mothers living in homeless or domestic abuse shelters and delivers those items on or before Mother's Day. This past spring, our locations worked to collect a total of 431,403 donations for those in need. Additionally, our ServiceMaster Restore® and ServiceMaster Clean® brands' We Serve: Veterans initiative helps support Hire Heroes USA to raise funds for veterans and their spouses to find their next career. Along with an annual golf tournament, hosted by corporate, franchisees have integrated this initiative into their local communities.

Strategic Franchise Development

As a company, there are ambitious goals of expanding the reach and influence of our brands through strategic franchise development. Daniel Laughlin, SVP of Development, emphasized this by stating, "We are excited to continue to expand our footprint across all of our brands in areas where we are underpenetrated and new whitespace territories." This approach not only aims to strengthen the presence of existing brand territories but also to explore and establish a foothold in new markets. By identifying and targeting underpenetrated areas and untapped territories, ServiceMaster Brands is poised to drive growth and innovation, ensuring a robust and dynamic future for the company.

As we celebrate Franchise Appreciation Day, let's give a huge shoutout to our amazing franchise owners! Here's to our franchisees, the true rockstars of ServiceMaster Brands, and to many more years of making a difference together!
