Testimonies

Women and Molly Maid

"Experience in MOLLY MAID suggests that when it comes to business success, a Franchisee’s gender is not an issue although women generally fit well into a domestic cleaning service.

This may have something to do with the fact that currently over 50 percent of MOLLY MAID Franchise Owners are women."
Pam Bader, Molly Maid
