TL;DR
Molly Maid honored its top franchise performers during Neighborly's first-ever virtual reunion, Neighborly United. The brand also celebrated its development, with nine new franchise agreements signed as of November 2020.
“Neighborly’s annual reunion may have looked a bit different this year, but the pride of being part of the world’s largest family of home service brands was as strong as ever,” said Vera Peterson, President of Molly Maid. “Despite the challenges 2020 presented to our Molly Maid network, our franchise owners have risen to the occasion and continued to provide services to American families, when most needed. While we may not have been able to celebrate these outstanding individuals in person, it was an honor to shine a spotlight on the Molly Maid franchise owners who represented the very best of what our franchise network had to offer this year.”
