The MOLLY MAID Success Story
In 1979, in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga, nurse Adrienne
Stringer along with her husband Chris Stringer, founded MOLLY MAID.
People often ask how they arrived at the name MOLLY MAID, and we
will gladly share this story at our offices at a Discovery Day
where we can meet, but equally important as our name, Adrienne and
Chris pioneered the concept of a high quality house cleaning service,
delivered by professionally trained and uniformed staff driving
company identified cars.
In 1980 our Chairman, Jim MacKenzie, along with individuals who
today are still active on our Board of Directors, invested in the
Stringers' fledgling company and together they commenced on a
journey that has seen MOLLY MAID grow across Canada and around the
world.
Our founders would point to others as the reasons for our
success and those others would be our Franchise Owners. Our
motto is 'Businesses aren't successful, people
are'. Our Franchise Owners are the class of this
industry and together their commitment to the principles our
founders instilled are the true reasons for our success.
What Our Franchise Owners Are Saying
MOLLY MAID Franchise Owners are more than business owners - they
are partners in making MOLLY MAID a success. Franchise Owners enjoy
the financial and personal rewards of their hard work and
determination. MOLLY MAID Franchise Owners come from a diverse
range of backgrounds in varied industries but they all have one
common thread, a strong desire to be successful.
Here are some of their stories:

"A small advertisement in our local newspaper caught my
attention and inspired a call to MOLLY MAID and the rest is
history. With no existing MOLLY MAID Franchise in Kingston, it was
a challenge in the beginning. However with the strength of the
MOLLY MAID trademark, assistance from Support Office, hard work and
marketing strategies, I have been able to meet my objectives. I
have taken the business from $0 sales in 2001 to average weekly
sales of over $6,000 /wk in four short years. I have traveled with
Barb, all expenses paid, to Portugal and Cuba by achieving the
objectives to qualify for the last two incentive trips with MOLLY
MAID. And believe me they were fantastic trips. I can't wait to
continue my journey with MOLLY MAID."

"As my children were growing older, I felt it was time to
return to the work force. I wasn't interested in working for
someone else, so I started looking at the possibilities of buying a
Franchise. I wasn't interested in working evenings and week-ends,
and wanted something I could operate out of my house. MOLLY MAID
stood head and shoulders above the rest from the very beginning.
After one year in business, I have developed relationships with
Franchise Owners, as well as the staff in our Support Office. The
dynamic, positive attitude that filters down from the top is
evident in everything we do. It is exciting to be in a company that
is so professional and competitive, yet so filled with kindness and
caring that you feel like part of the family. Purchasing the MOLLY
MAID Franchise in Burnaby/New Westminster has been a very positive
experience for me and my family. We set new goals daily, and are
able to achieve them with the help from Support Office and a little
hard work. MOLLY MAID is an excellent company to be part
of."

"We researched many opportunities prior to joining MOLLY
MAID. We were impressed that MOLLY MAID was a Canadian Franchise
and was very professional in our discussions. MOLLY MAID has lived
up to our expectation offering support as needed, a proven
successful "system" and a respected and well known Trademark. We
have been very successful in the business and it has met our
objectives both personally and financially. We have had the
opportunity for some wonderful trips and have met some very dear
friends."
