Brad and Lisa - Owners
Founders Brad and Lisa Dionne started their Merry Maid franchise journey
back in 1987, before most people had ever heard of a house cleaning “service”.
Back then, it was all about 18 hour work days… doing every job
the company required from cleaning, customer service, accounting, inventory
control, marketing, hiring, training and meeting with potential customers
to give bids. It was a “bootstrapping” story if ever there
was one! Thankfully as the business grew so did their ability to hire
more and more team members to fill those roles. Before long, they had
9 offices in a 4 state area and boasted a team of over 300. They became
the largest Merry Maid franchise owners in the country, and in 1996 they
received the most prestigious award given to owners, the Dallen Peterson
Founders Award. They credit their success to the exceptional quality of
people they were able to bring to the business and their dedication to
uncompromising customer service. Despite all this, their greatest pride
and joy in life come from their beautiful children Emily, Cooper, and
son-in-law Brett, and their faithful yellow lab “Banjo”.
