Oxford-Lafayette Chamber Celebrates Merry Maids Ribbon Cutting Amid Business Recovery

The Oxford-Lafayette County Chamber of Commerce welcomed Merry Maids of North Mississippi into its membership with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the chamber office, 299 West Jackson Ave., that the chamber calendar lists as taking place Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CST. The event was reported the following day, Feb. 26, as part of the chamber’s ongoing effort to spotlight new local businesses joining the network.

The chamber calendar entry for the Merry Maids Ribbon Cutting Ceremony records the location as Oxford Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, 299 Jackson Ave. W, Oxford, MS 38655, and shows event functions such as Print, Email, Add to Calendar and social-share options for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. The listing gives the precise one-hour window of 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., matching the chamber’s event scheduling format and confirming the ceremony took place at the chamber’s downtown office.

Merry Maids of North Mississippi appears in the chamber’s Constant Contact “Welcome New Chamber Members” section with a business address of 9 Industrial Park Drive, Ste. 103, Oxford, MS 38655, a work phone number of (662) 380-5301 and a fax listed as (662) 842-5305. The Original Report described Merry Maids as a local cleaning/franchise business and noted that the ribbon-cutting welcomed the business into chamber membership while highlighting continuing small-business recovery and openings in Lafayette County.

The ribbon-cutting for Merry Maids followed a string of events and member updates the chamber has circulated in recent months. The Constant Contact newsletter named other new and returning members—Daniel Gravatt and Tyler White of TeeWhites - Custom Apparel (117 Kearney Park Rd, Flora, MS 39071; (601) 966-6277)—and thanked renewing members such as Mayo Mallette PLLC and Heartbreak Coffee. The newsletter also listed prior ribbon-cutting ceremonies, including Fit Chef on Wednesday, Nov. 9 at 9 a.m. (1304 Merchants Dr.), Taylor Bend on Thursday, Nov. 10 (101 Taylor Bend), BankPlus on Monday, Nov. 14 at 3 p.m. (409 South Lamar Blvd) and Oxford Pre-Op & Imaging Center on Thursday, Nov. 17 at 4:30 p.m. (1202 Office Park Drive, Ste. A).

Market implications for Oxford and Lafayette County are implied by the chamber’s activity: the calendar entry and the membership listing together show an organized pipeline for new service providers to integrate into the local business ecosystem. The chamber’s header—“The voice of YOUR business in local, county, and state issues”—and the newsletter’s operational note that community-event submissions are due each Friday by noon suggest a sustained outreach effort to recruit and spotlight businesses. For local employers and policymakers, the chamber’s ongoing ribbon-cutting program and the arrival of a service franchise at 9 Industrial Park Drive signal modest expansion in the county’s small-business base and another touchpoint for potential hiring and consumer services.

The chamber’s Feb. 25 event and the Feb. 26 report together mark Merry Maids’ formal entry into the chamber network amid the county’s continuing pattern of business openings.
