What started in 2001 with Leslie Johnson purchasing a single Merry Maids franchise in Oakville has grown into an incredible family success story!

Today, Leslie and her daughters, Ashley Wilson and Alexandra Johnson, proudly own and operate Merry Maids locations across Ontario, including Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton, Mississauga, Milton, Guelph, Kitchener, Cambridge and St. Catharines.

For 25 years, our family-owned business has been dedicated to providing exceptional home cleaning services, creating local job opportunities and building lasting relationships within the communities we serve.

But what truly makes this story special is the heart behind the business. Leslie is not only an incredible businesswoman and leader, but also someone who genuinely cares about the people who work alongside her. She has built a workplace where employees feel valued, supported and appreciated. Her kindness, compassion and dedication to her team have helped create a work environment that feels like family. 💚

We are incredibly proud to have the families journey recognized by the Canadian Franchise Association, celebrating years of hard work, dedication and the incredible legacy Leslie has built alongside her daughters.

While our business has grown over the years, our values remain the same: providing reliable, professional cleaning services, supporting our employees and treating our customers like family.
