Our Story
Frank Berger, co-founder and owner of You’ve Got Maids, carries a rich legacy inspired by his immigrant grandparents who began their American journey as cleaners. With decades of experience in the franchise industry, Frank knew a home cleaning service could fulfill the dreams of its employees, clients, and franchisees.
A Proven Entrepreneurial Journey
Thirty years ago, Frank transitioned directly into the franchise sector from graduate school. Among his many achievements, he owned and operated Domino’s Pizza franchises in South Carolina and New Jersey. The New Jersey location consistently ranked in the top 20 out of over 7,000 Domino’s Stores at peak seasons and secured a spot in the elite Top 5 on multiple occasions.
Vision for You’ve Got Maids
Desiring a better work-life balance, Frank sold his Domino’s franchise and began researching new opportunities. He recognized that the cleaning sector presented the greatest potential due to its fragmentation and lack of national brand leaders. Frank saw the opportunity for You’ve Got Maids to become the market leader in an industry ripe for consolidation.
Commitment to Excellence
With a deep understanding of the entrepreneurial spirit, Frank channels his energy into helping others create their own destinies. Under his leadership, You’ve Got Maids has grown into a national franchise known for its commitment to quality, eco-friendly cleaning, and exceptional service. Frank’s vision and dedication continue to drive the success of You’ve Got Maids, making it a beacon for aspiring entrepreneurs and a trusted service provider for clients nationwide.
