CHRISHELLE’S STORY
When Chrishelle Eugene moved to Virginia, she could’ve worked for several companies based on her 25-years of experience in administration and project management. She wanted to work — just not for someone else. After reading an article about affordable franchises, Molly Maid® and its established model stood out, so she decided to make an investment. The housing market was booming, and long commutes between Washington DC and Virginia for government employees meant less time for them to maintain their homes. Molly Maid could be a solution.
Through her Molly Maid franchise business ownership, Chrishelle met her goal of being a successful business owner, realizing both personal and professional achievements. Her husband Bern now works in the business with her, post his retirement. She’s thrilled that her business makes her customers’ lives easier. Chrishelle is proud to provide employment for women and others in her community and she regularly volunteers at a local shelter for domestic abuse survivors.
