Challenge

With stores continuing to open in major U.S. markets, the retailer needed a janitorial service provider who could handle the cleaning demands at their corporate headquarters and retail stores. As the stores are centered around children’s creativity, dress-up, and special events hosted throughout the year, impeccable presentation of the showroom, salon, ear piercing station, cashier’s tables, bathrooms, and corners is vital to the business. Every piece of this interactive building must be spotless.

Solution

This retailer needed a facilities provider that could be flexible and care for all stores in a way that made children and their parents feel comfortable enjoying the spaces for entertainment. Whether hair is being styled, or a child and doll are at the cafe enjoying a meal together, ɫ����ensures that trash is never in sight, and that children are playing with the dolls in an environment that is interactive and free of trash, dust, and debris.
