Global growth and franchisee support
The brand closed out 2021 with growth in both franchise development and same-store-sales, adding over 70 new units in North America and expanding into Cambodia and Cyprus. Looking ahead at 2022, in addition to further increasing its coverage across the U.S. and Canada, Chem-Dry is looking to expand its global footprint with international master franchises in new markets such as South America, the Middle East and North Africa.
While Chem-Dry continues to grow its international coverage, it remains focused on the hyper-local success of its franchisees. When investing in Chem-Dry, franchisees get the support of a leading global brand that remains committed to innovation in its systems, processes and services, allowing its franchisees to meet the dynamics and demand of any market.
High-quality service and reputation
Chem-Dry has earned its stellar reputation by creating cleaner and healthier indoor environments with its proprietary equipment and solutions for carpet, upholstery, granite countertops and hard floor surfaces, such as wood, tile and laminates.
In testing its processes, a study conducted by a leading independent laboratory concluded that the Chem-Dry hot carbonating extraction cleaning method removes an average of 98 per cent of common household allergens such as dog and cat dander and dust mite matter from carpets and upholstery.
Chem-Dry also has a national partnership with the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA), working to raise awareness and provide education on the importance of indoor air quality in maintaining the health and safety of homes and businesses.
