What do all these adventures have in common? They’ve all been taken on by MaidPro franchisees and

corporate office staff. The residential cleaning company puts together annual adventure trips to give

franchisees the chance to connect, share ideas, and of course, have fun. Twenty-five franchisees and

15 home-office staffers took part in this year’s trip, yachting around Croatia.
