Back in July, I blogged about Maid Brigade’s Veterans Franchise Giveaway. This week, to coincide with Veterans Day, the company announced the results of the contest, after narrowing the field down from over 100 entries to six finalists. The winner of Maid Brigade’s “Gold Award”–including waived franchise fees, equipment, training, and $27,500 in working capital–is Major Philip Thomas Piaget, a retired Airborne Ranger.
Piaget is no stranger to being honored for his military service–over his 20-year career, he’s been awarded a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and numerous Meritorious Service Medals. He retired from the Army in September, and entered the contest the same month, writing in his application: “I think that my life as a leader of infantrymen and that of a quality Maid Brigade franchisee have very much in common. Trust that my subordinates and superior officers have in me was unquestioned, and my integrity was neither for sale nor up for negotiation. This same uncompromising standard will help to develop dedicated, loyal, and trustworthy employees who understand what we stand for as a company.”
