September 19, 2006 - “We introduced the Molly Maid franchise concept to the U.S. market in 1984 and today there are more than 300 franchisees from coast to coast,” said McKinnon. “Molly Maid is a great success story and I am confident that Kristi will bring a franchisee-first attitude and her high-octane energy to fuel our continued growth.”

Ms. Mailloux is a 14-year veteran of SBI, serving most recently as president of the 1-800-DryClean brand franchise. Prior to that Ms. Mailloux spent more than ten years with Molly Maid in a variety of positions including vice president of operations.

“I’m very familiar with the Molly Maid system and all the franchisees, so I know the team will be receptive to a potent dose of “What if?” and “Why Not?”, said Mailloux. “We have a great franchise family and I look forward to continuing to build Molly Maid as the premier, home-services franchise.”

Molly Maid is a nationwide network of residential cleaning professionals. Molly Maid franchisees provide free in-home estimates to better understand customer cleaning needs and expectations. The Molly Maid service includes dusting and vacuuming throughout the house; cupboard fronts are spot-cleaned; floors are washed; and, the kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned. Molly Maid cleaning teams are bonded and insured, and all work is guaranteed.

Ms. Mailloux is a graduate of the University of Michigan. She and her husband, Todd, have two young children. Todd is part of the SBI family as a Mr. Handyman franchisee serving the northwestern suburbs of Detroit.
