Maid Brigade Inc. Announces April 2011 Sales Increases

Maid Brigade Inc.’s April 2011 sales report reveals monthly, year over year, and year to date sales increases for the leading cleaning service franchise. Total same store sales for April 2011 show an increase of 3.6 percent over the same period last year. Total system wide sales for April are up 5.85 percent over March 2011. Year to date (January to April 2011) total system wide sales show an improvement of 6.76 percent over 2010. 

“We’re very encouraged by the sales increases we’re experiencing to date,” says Bart Puett, president and CEO of Maid Brigade. “Our growth is a testament to our hard-working and talented franchisees, our commitment as a franchisor to their ongoing success, and the promising economic projections for the cleaning services industry.” 

Maid Brigade’s projected sales for 2011 are $70 million. As an industry, residential cleaning services revenue is expected to reach $14 billion by 2014 with maid services revenue projected to hit $10 billion that same year. Demand for household cleaning services is also projected to grow by seven percent overall, according to research by Mediamark Research, Inc., TGE Demographics, Inc., and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 

This may be largely due to social trends – the increase of time-starved, dual-income households that are experiencing additional time constraints along with added home and lifestyle pressures. Also, the increase of empty nesters and “middle age” households moving into the 55- to 64-year-old age group. As part of the fastest growing segment of the home services industry, Maid Brigade is leveraging its current growth and is expanding into the international marketplace.

“At Maid Brigade we’re excited for the continued growth and success of our individual franchisees in both the domestic and international marketplaces, and for the future of our industry as a whole,” comments Puett.
