By Andrew Carlo
ServiceMaster Brands announced that Regan Stokes has joined its Merry Maids brand as its new president.
Stokes, based in Las Vegas, brings nearly a decade of experience in franchised service organizations, where she has driven sustainable, profitable growth for franchisees, ServiceMaster said. Regan’s experience includes leading service-based franchises such as Pure Barre and The Original Fit Factory.
“What excites me most about leading Merry Maids is the personal connection I have to the brand and the tremendous opportunity to build on its rich legacy,” Regan said. “Growing up in a household with two working parents, I remember how busy life could get. On the days Merry Maids came, it felt like magic—walking into a home that smelled clean, looked organized, and felt calm. It wasn’t just about having a tidy space; it was about the sense of relief and happiness that came with it.”
“The chaos of daily life was turned into order, and the stress in our household immediately decreased,” Regan adds. “Those moments left a lasting impression on me and shaped my belief in the power of a well-cared-for home. Today, with the pace of life accelerating due to technology and increasing demands on individuals and families, the role of Merry Maids is more important than ever.”
