Source and method
Every figure above comes from the The Maids Franchise Disclosure Document issued 2026-01-18 and amended 2026-05-12, as filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (filing 640137, registry record). The PDF is the franchisor's and is not hosted here; the item and page beside each figure is where to check it. Item 7 and Item 20 tables were read cell by cell; Item 19 was read by hand; each Item 20 year was checked to sum (start + opened − exits = end) before it was recorded.
A unit is a Territory, and one franchised outlet (office) typically runs several. The fiscal year ends September 30..
