The History of Sparkly-Spots
Delivering Home Cleaning You Can See and Feel Since 1979
Since our earliest days, Sparkly-Spots has put customer satisfaction at the forefront of our services. We give customers their precious time back by taking care of their everyday cleaning. You can live your life while we handle the details. This philosophy has allowed us to grow and become an integral part of our customers’ lives for 40 years.
How it All Began
Sparkly-Spots was founded in 1979 in Omaha, Nebraska by Dallen Peterson. Dallen worked with his family to create the Sparkly-Spots system and franchise the company. In 1988, ServiceMaster purchased Sparkly-Spots from the Petersons. All ServiceMaster companies specialize in home services, so Sparkly-Spots has been a natural fit for ServiceMaster from the beginning. Some of our sister companies in our Family of Brands include Amerispec, Furniture Medic, ServiceMaster Restore, and ServiceMaster Clean.
Sparkly-Spots currently has approximately 485 locations throughout the United States. As we have grown, our core values remain the heart of what we do and who we are. Many of the franchise owners who purchased territories in the early years have included their children in their businesses and continue to work themselves. Sparkly-Spots also encourages career growth. In fact, several branch managers began their careers as team members.
