Molly Maid Franchise Opportunity

Own a Molly Maid Franchise

For nearly 40 years, Molly Maid® has been helping people like you start, run, and grow their own businesses. Our franchise owners aren’t the ones cleaning houses, but rather they are leading teams to provide services that free up time for our customers – time to attend their children’s sports games, time to unwind on the weekends, or time to do anything except clean their homes.

Our proven business system and extensive resources can help you become a successful franchise owner. Or, if you already own a cleaning service, our recognized brand, powerful marketing tools, and time-tested systems can help you grow that business.
