In the world of franchising “Restoration” is all about restoring property after a small or large disaster—water, flooding, fire, smoke, mold, and even hoarding. Essentially, bringing a property back to its original condition, pre-disaster. For more than 65 years, the ServiceMaster Restore© has provided Janitorial, Commercial Cleaning, and Restoration services, all over the world.
This business sector has traditionally been owned and operated by white males, but Nasutsa Mabwa is a front runner in helping to change that. With an impressive résumé in both urban planning and business, Mabwa holds a Master of Arts degree in Urban Planning and Policy from the University of Illinois-Chicago and a Master of Business Administration degree with a real estate development concentration from Roosevelt University.
