Dryer Vent Squad Franchise Cost, Revenue and Closure Rate
Dryer Vent Squad is one of the franchises we compare in our dryer vent cleaning guide. Here is what it costs to open, what it charges every month, what its franchisees report taking in, and how many outlets closed in a year.
Where these numbers come from
We couldn't get Dryer Vent Squad's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), so the figures come from the sources named next to each number. Check them against the FDD before you rely on them. Revenue figures are sales as the brand reports them, before royalties and costs. They are not profit, and not a promise of what you would earn.

What franchisees report taking in (FDD Item 19)
We couldn't check Item 19: the newest Dryer Vent Squad FDD on Minnesota CARDS is from 2024, older than the figures above, so we haven't used it, and we don't use earnings figures quoted by third-party sites.
