"The Chem-Dry franchise model lets people go into business for themselves, but not by themselves. It's a great support network."

(1888PressRelease) February 04, 2010 - Logan, UT - Despite the economic slump, the Chem-Dry franchise sales team thrived last year. They launched 68 new franchisees across the United States, 42 of which were sold during the typically slow sales months of September to December. The team is excited to announce that franchise sales have nearly doubled since 2008.

"We've experienced remarkable network growth," said Bill Knight, Vice President of Franchise Development. Knight said people are beginning to find security in owning their own business rather than relying on the instability often found in corporate America.

"As the economy is rebounding and job creation is lagging behind the rebound, more and more people are looking to be connected to a stable, proven concept that is backed by the world's largest retailer, The Home Depot," Knight added.

Chem-Dry locations are rising for two reasons. One, more people are investing in the Chem-Dry carbonating extraction process, and two, current franchisees are expanding their businesses to new areas across their community, their state and the country.

For more than 30 years, the Chem-Dry carpet and upholstery cleaning system has been leading the way in helping entrepreneurs achieve their goals. Chem-Dry has been rated No. 1 by Entrepreneur Magazine in its category for 21 years straight. The Chem-Dry secret sauce has been the results of their Hot Carbonating Extraction system and their caring pledge for franchisee success. Chem-Dry trains each new franchisee at the Harris Research facility in Logan, Utah. Franchisees learn the Chem-Dry proven business model of how to market, train employees and service their customers.

One of Chem-Dry's newest franchise owners, Mike Jacobson, is a Marine and now the owner of Chem-Dry of Stafford in Virginia. He seemed somewhat unfazed by the country's financial state.

"Chem-Dry is an investment in my family and my future," said Jacobson. "I determine my own success but I know I am not alone. The entire Chem-Dry team is there to support me whether it be in marketing, motivation or any other operational support. Chem-Dry's proprietary cleaning method is state of the art. This offers consumers a drier, cleaner and healthier home."

Entrepreneurs can quickly discover why investing in a rooted brand backed by a supportive company like Harris Research, Inc. and a network of more than 4,000 experienced franchise owners will help them realize their American dream. Chem-Dry is the largest carpet cleaning franchise in the world.
