Congratulations to franchisees Rick and Jess on expanding into Pasadena with MaidPro. With this latest addition, they now own and operate 10 MaidPro locations. And they're not doing it alone anymore. Their son, Chris Hardt, has joined the business to help run the operation and keep it growing.
That's a big moment for any franchise family. It's also a good example of what long-term franchise ownership can look like when the brand, the market and the people line up.
Growing One Location at a Time
Ten locations doesn't happen overnight. It happens by getting one territory running well, building a team you trust, and then deciding to do it again. Pasadena is the latest step for Rick and Jess, built on years of hiring, training and learning their markets.
Why owners expand
Once owners know the business and have a playbook that works, adding a location lets them spread leadership, marketing and back-office work across a bigger operation.
A Business the Next Generation Can Join
Chris joining his parents is the heart of this story. Franchising gives families a structure to pass on. The brand, systems and support stay steady, so Chris steps into an established operation instead of starting from scratch. Rick and Jess gain more capacity to keep growing.
Why Residential Cleaning Works for Multi-Unit Owners
Recurring demand
Many customers book weekly or every other week, so the work is steady and the customer base builds over time.
Systems that repeat
Cleaning businesses grow through teams, scheduling and training. Once those are dialed in, they carry over into a new territory.
