DryerVentz Franchise Cost, Revenue and Closure Rate
DryerVentz 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 DryerVentz'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.
