What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chem-Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's business office must be able to receive and store shipments. The franchisee must operate and conduct their Chem-Dry business from a single location within their assigned Franchised Area. From this location, they can manage as many crews, teams, sales forces, and vans as needed.
The franchisee has the flexibility to relocate their business within their Franchised Area, provided they give Chem-Dry at least 10 days' prior written notice. This allows franchisees to adjust their business location based on changing market conditions or operational needs, as long as they inform Chem-Dry beforehand.
This requirement ensures that franchisees have a physical location capable of handling the logistical aspects of the business, such as receiving supplies and equipment. While the FDD specifies the ability to receive and store shipments, it does not detail the size or specific features required of the business office. A prospective franchisee should discuss with Chem-Dry what specific storage capacity is needed to operate the business effectively.
