Given the current economic climate, setting up your own franchise business could be a frightening proposition. In 1987, having decided upon starting their own business that’s exactly what Bournemouth based entrepreneurs John and Vivienne Minton of Chem-Dry Kalliste set out to achieve. With over 2 decades providing outstanding upholstery and carpet cleaning services to Bournemouth and the surrounding communities, 2011 will be a year for both Chem-Dry Kalliste and the Chem-Dry business itself to celebrate as they enter their 25th year of trading.
The longevity of the Chem-Dry Kalliste business has been built with a long-term vision in mind, by constantly assessing the long-term needs of their customer base. This has proved to be the catalyst for operating a highly sustainable and successful cleaning franchise business. Chem-Dry Kalliste is a great example of how a well managed franchise can be successful, with the necessary processes in place to allow for the growth of the domestic and commercial business, even during flood surge periods.
