Men In Kilts, Canadian based Franchisor Expands to US East Coast

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) November 01, 2012 - Men In Kilts, a full-service window cleaning, gutter cleaning, siding cleaning and pressure washing company, officially announced their grand opening in Philadelphia (Bucks and Montgomery Counties), Pennsylvania on November 1st, 2012. Men In Kilts is already Canada’s largest window and exterior cleaning company and is expanding fast into the US, with plans to be in every major market by 2017.

Local owners, Herb and Kate Madara live in the Abington suburb, fifteen minutes outside of Philadelphia. Before exploring the world of franchising, Herb Madara worked as a high voltage power lineman. After injuring his knee as a lineman, he decided it was time for a change. His research led him to many business opportunities, and he and his wife ultimately decided on a Men In Kilts window and exterior cleaning franchise.

“I wanted to be in business for myself, but not by myself. The team at the Men In Kilts corporate office and all their franchise owners were so supportive during our research. The further I looked into it, the more I realized the huge opportunity in the window cleaning industry and the whole concept of wearing the kilt is just awesome. Everywhere you go, people approach you with a smile on their face. Everyone wants to know what the kilt is all about, and some even want to take pictures with you,” says Madara.

When asked if the crews will still be wearing kilts in the frosty Philly winters, Madara replies, “Of course! We’ll make sure the guys have something warm under their kilts!”

With over 25 years experience serving customers in a wide array of businesses, the Madara’s were confident they wanted to work in the service industry within Philadelphia. “We’ve lived in this area for a long time and we know what kind of service our locals expect,” says Kate Madara. “We’ll be doing lots of fun promotions and meet-and-greets to get to know even more people.”

With the Bucks and Montgomery Counties population continuing to grow and prosper, the Madara’s see tremendous potential for Men In Kilts in their area. “We’re determined and committed to delivering a fantastic experience and putting smiles in to the world… one Kilt at a time. Just remember… No Peeking!” says Herb.
