Dryer Vent Wizard Hosts Discovery Day Event in Arlington Heights Jan. 18

CHICAGO, Dec. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- 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."

Dryer Vent Wizard is the only international franchise company specializing in dryer vent repair, replacement, alteration, cleaning and maintenance for residential and commercial clients. Dryer Vent Wizard technicians arrive at homes equipped with state-of-the-art dryer vent cleaning tools to complete all dryer vent services and get the appliance up to code.

"Dryer Vent Wizard is a home-based business opportunity with an owner/operator business model, allowing entrepreneurs complete control over how large they'd like to grow the business, which is really uncommon in the franchise space," added Kapica. "We're looking for individuals who are not only business minded, but wanting to help their community through dryer fire safety education and prevention." 

To further the company's goal of reducing dryer fires across North America, Dryer Vent Wizard is a member of the National Fire Protection Association. The company is also a partner of the Children's Burn Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing medical and psychological care for child burn survivors.

The initial investment to open a Dryer Vent Wizard franchise ranges between $65,000- $85,000, which includes the initial franchise fee, all the tools and equipment to run the business, materials to complete the first jobs, insurance for the business, three months' of payments on a fully outfitted van and three months' operating expenses.
