Designation Released by World Franchising Network in USA Today

Ann Arbor, MI – April 13, 2010 – As part of a targeted new website and recruitment program for military veterans, the World Franchising Network has selected Service Brands International, parent company for Molly Maid, Mr. Handyman, ProTect Painters and 1-800-DryClean as part of the first annual list of “50 Top Franchises for Veterans.”

The 50 companies included were selected from hundreds of companies requesting evaluation for inclusion in the article. There was no cost to participate in the survey. Each participating franchisor was required to submit a completed questionnaire describing the specific financial incentives provided to veterans by the franchisor. The questionnaire also noted the number (both absolute and as a percentage of the total number) of operating units owned by veterans, as well as the number of veterans in senior management that earned over $60,000 per year.
