ServiceMaster® Brands
ServiceMaster’s story is one of resilience and purpose. Founded in 1929 by Marion E. Wade, a former minor league baseball player and salesman, the company started as a mothproofing business. But after a life-changing accident that left him temporarily blinded, Wade devoted himself to a life of service and purpose. His values of treating people with dignity and respect continue to be the bedrock of ServiceMaster Brands, which was one of America’s first franchise businesses. Today, ServiceMaster continues to inspire us to live with purpose and dedication, proving that with the right mindset, anything is possible.
