Two Maids & A Mop Climbs the List of Entrepreneur Magazine’s 41st Annual Franchise 500® List

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Two Maids & A Mop announced today that it has been named to Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500® list, considered the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Rated number six in the “Residential Cleaning” category, Two Maids also achieved a 210 overall, a 75-spot increase from their ranking last year.

The recognition received by Two Maids highlights the expansion made by the company in 2019. An addition of more than 18 last year brings the brand’s total number of locations to 86 in communities across the United States.

“It’s very exciting to be recognized by Entrepreneur on this list, especially since we’ve moved up from last year,” said Ron Holt, CEO of Two Maids & A Mop. "We are excited to build upon our momentum from the past year in 2020. Whether it be growing in new markets, creating relationships, or supporting existing ones with our current franchise owners, the new year brings a lot of promise.”

The key factors that go into the evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth, support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Each franchise is given a cumulative score based on an analysis of more than 150 data points, and the 500 franchises with the highest cumulative scores become the Franchise 500® in ranking order.

"The 500 companies on this list all have something in common: They understand what consumers want now,” says Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. “They may be an upstart in a brand-new category, or they may be a brand like Dunkin’ that’s ranked highly on our list for decades. But either way, making our list means they’re forward-thinking, nimble, and closely in touch with their customers’ needs—because in an ever-changing business environment, that’s what a franchise must do to thrive.”

Offering both one-time and recurring cleaning options, Two Maids & A Mop makes selecting a cleaning service simple and painless for the customer. Through a few simple steps online or over the phone, Two Maids & A Mop evaluates the needs of the customer to provide an accurate quote prior to scheduling the service.

Entrepreneurially spirited individuals interested in owning a Two Maids franchise should have the ability to invest at least $60.9K, which includes working capital and initial franchise fees. Ideal franchise candidates are driven, outgoing and business savvy.

Over its 41 years in existence, the Franchise 500® has become both a dominant competitive measure for franchisors and a primary research tool for potential franchisees. Two Maids’ position on the ranking is a testament to its strength as a franchise opportunity.
