Business Description
This established cleaning services opportunity comprises four well-positioned Chem-Dry franchises operating in Wake, Orange, Durham, and Hillsborough counties in Central North Carolina. With three decades of continuous operation, these franchises have developed a substantial market presence and maintained consistent revenue streams through superior customer service and operational reliability. Chem-Dry of Chapel Hill-Durham has been named by Chem-Dry as "Best in State" for the last three years.

Business Operations:
The franchises utilize Chem-Dry's proprietary hot carbonating extraction process, which employs natural carbonation to penetrate carpet fibers and extract dirt through reduced water usage and lower pressure techniques. This methodology results in faster drying times and improved customer satisfaction. The service portfolio encompasses carpet cleaning, upholstery restoration, area rug cleaning, hardwood floor maintenance, tile and stone cleaning, marble restoration, and specialized stain and odor removal. The company completes approximately 1000 - 1100 tickets annually at average of over $320/ticket.

Customer Base:
The business serves a diversified client mix of approximately 85% residential and 15% commercial accounts, providing revenue stability and growth potential across multiple market segments.

Operational Infrastructure:
This turnkey operation includes experienced personnel, fully equipped mobile cleaning systems, and dedicated service vehicles. The established infrastructure enables immediate operational continuity for the acquiring party with minimal transition disruption.

Financial Considerations:
Franchisor transfer fees of approximately $3,500 per franchise will be required upon ownership transition. The replacement cost for equivalent new franchises with equipment packages ranges from $50,000 to $80,000 per unit, representing substantial value in this acquisition.

Transition Support:
Comprehensive transition assistance will be provided by the current ownership, complemented by mandatory franchisor training programs to ensure operational continuity and brand standard compliance.

Growth Potential:
The geographic market position presents significant expansion opportunities for strategic development and increased market penetration.

Operational Requirements:
The business operates from a residential base and will require establishment of new operational headquarters by the acquiring party.
