Office Pride of Rapid City-Rapid Valley

Andre and Karie Truitt are co-owners of Office Pride Commercial Cleaning Services of Rapid City, an independently owned and operated commercial cleaning franchise serving businesses throughout Rapid City, South Dakota.

Prior to Office Pride, Andre Truitt attended Black Hills State University on a football scholarship and then worked over 19 years in sales and customer service. Karie Truitt also attended Black Hills State University, was a homemaker and ran a daycare for over 10 years.

The entrepreneurial couple had their own local cleaning company when they discovered Office Pride. Recognizing an opportunity to scale and grow quickly, they converted their business to an Office Pride franchise. Andrea says, “Our goal was to run a faith based business and we love how Office Pride’s values align with our own values and beliefs.”

Their business focus is on people, developing meaningful relationships with customers and employees alike. “This is a people business and we want to do what we can to continue to grow that,” Karie says. “We want to provide a quality service while upholding our core values. To honor God and serve others is key for us.”

Office Pride of Rapid City-Rapid Valley provides a full range of janitorial and commercial cleaning services to medical and dental offices, schools and offices, and manufacturing and industrial facilities. The company also excels in carpet cleaning and hard floor care, deep cleans and project cleans, and electrostatic disinfection services.

The Truitts are deeply committed to their employees and community. Karie says, “We want to create a culture where our employees feel like family and are cared for and encouraged in their everyday lives.”

Andre adds, “We want to help build up our employees so they can go out into the community and make a difference.”

The Truitts have been married for 25 years and have five beautiful children. They are members of Elevate Rapid City, a public-private merger of the local chamber of commerce and economic development organizations that leads small business efforts in the Black Hills region.

Andre is a member of the Men Magnifying Manhood, Men Matter and Leeds publishing organizations and serves on the board at his church. He enjoys working on his side passion, a clothing brand called “Jus Gifted,” as well as metal detecting and spending time with family.
