Our journey in the commercial cleaning business begins with the purchase of a ServiceMaster franchise in Camden County, New Jersey with a staff of ten employees. Our first year with the ServiceMaster franchise system, we were honored with the Eagle Award for largest dollar volume growth for a new franchise.
