Track Record
The record, documented.
What David McKinnon built, what happened to it, and where the capital goes now — with the receipts.
Built · The Service Brands Era
1,000+ franchises across six countries. Three brands acquired by the Dwyer Group in 2015; they operate today under new ownership.
Molly Maid
Residential home cleaning, grown from a single U.S. entry into a national franchise network and the flagship of the Service Brands family.
Service Brands International
The umbrella company for Molly Maid, Mr. Handyman, ProTect Painters, and 1-800-DryClean — scaled to more than 1,000 franchises across six countries, through the dot-com bust and the Great Recession.
Mr. Handyman
Professional home repair and improvement, delivered through a national franchise network.
ProTect Painters
Residential and commercial painting on a repeatable franchise model.
1-800-DryClean
Pickup-and-delivery dry cleaning, franchised under the SBI umbrella.
