You’ve Got Maids Corporate Office

You’ve Got Maids was founded in 2005 in Orlando, Florida, by husband and wife team Frank and Cynthia Berger. The couple had previously owned several Dominos Pizza franchises, but wanted to start a new business where they could sell franchises, rather than run one themselves.

The company operates a house cleaning/maid service franchise operation. From a single franchise, the company now has more than 50 franchise operations. A typical franchise is made up of approximately 40,000 qualified households. The initial franchise fee is just under $7,000. Each franchise offers free estimates and emphasizes a 52 point cleaning system that uses eco-friendly products.

You’ve Got Maids requires that their franchises put their employees through a criminal background check and be bonded and insured.

Avis Rent a Car Corporate Office

Avis Rent a Car Logo

Avis Rent a Car was founded in Ypsilanti, Michigan, in 1948 by Warren Avis. Originally, Mr. Avis had only 3 cars and operated out of the Willow Run Airport.

The company is a subsidiary of the Avis Budget Group, which includes Budget Rent a Car and Budget Truck Rentals. In early 2013, the company acquired Zipcar for $491 million.

Avis Rent a Car Airport Location

Avis stock is down 25% in the first half of 2018 due to competition from ride-sharing companies like Lyft and personal driving services like Uber. The CEO insists that car rentals are still popular, despite falling sales and stocks.

Headquarters are located in Parsippany, New Jersey. The company currently has more than 5,550 locations around the world, employs approximately 30,000 people, and has more than 373,000 cars worldwide. In 2015, the parent company had annual revenue of $8.5 billion.

In June 2022, a customer complained that the company overcharged him $4,000 saying that he had kept the car 10 days past the contract. When video surveillance proved that he didn’t overstay the contract, the company STILL refused to refund the extra charges.
