## Story

ATLANTA, Ga. - Merry Maids welcomes a new franchise to its network. Residents of Macon, Georgia, will be able to access cleaning service that is consistently ranked within the residential and commercial services industry.

Merry Maids of Macon is expected to open within the next two months. New franchisees Kirk Phillips, Richard Rivera, and Johnathan Cuttino look forward to giving people more time to enjoy life, with a trusted cleaning company to take care of their housework.

Merry Maids is part of ServiceMaster Brands, a provider of residential and commercial cleaning, restoration, and moving services. The new franchisees met while they worked for another ServiceMaster Brands company, TWO MEN AND A TRUCK. After working their way up the ranks at the moving franchise, they launched their own locations in Utah, North Carolina, and Georgia. Jonathan Cuttino, owner of TWO MEN AND A TRUCK in Macon, will handle daily operations, and his partners will provide support.

Based in Atlanta, Merry Maids has been delivering cleaning services since 1979. With decades of experience and a support and training program, Merry Maids is a brand that consumers can trust.

“We’re excited to have three experienced franchisees join the Merry Maids team. The Macon area offers an opportunity for them to capitalize on an existing customer base and become valuable members of the local community,” says Vice President of Franchise Development for Merry Maids, Tim Arpin.

Merry Maids offers apartment and house cleaning, detailed cleaning, holiday and green cleaning, housekeeping, enhanced disinfection services, specialty cleaning, and move-in/move-out cleaning.

"We are so pleased to welcome Kirk Phillips, Richard Rivera, and Johnathan Cuttino into the Merry Maids network," says Arpin. "We look forward to supporting them as they bring this service to Macon.”
