Leading Dryer Cleaning and Repair Franchise Looks to Add Two New Locations to Chicago Area, Hosts Event in Arlington Heights Jan. 18

In response to Chicagoland’s demand for quality home service professionals, Dryer Vent Wizard, North America’s leading dryer vent cleaning and repair franchise, has announced plans to add two additional franchise locations to the area and is flying a team of executives to Chicago for a special Discovery Day event on Thursday, January 18.

Aspiring entrepreneurs and seasoned business owners alike looking for a unique business opportunity can visit www.mydryerbiz.com to register for the event. Beginning at 8:30 a.m. at the Courtyard Chicago Arlington Heights/North, located at 3700 North Wilke Rd, Dryer Vent Wizard Vice President, Jason Kapica, will inform attendees of the unique Dryer Vent Wizard franchising model, opportunities throughout Chicagoland and the increasing demand for services in the area. There is no charge or obligation to attend, and bagels and coffee will be provided.

“The greater Chicago metropolitan area is a bustling city with nearly 9.5 million residents, but we only have four locations serving the vast, growing area. We’re looking to expand our presence in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs to better serve homeowners and keep residents safe,” said Kapica. “Entrepreneurs who are interested in joining a dynamic, growing team are invited to meet us at our event on January 18.”
