I used to be a CD. ChemDry - not a cross dresser....anyway - they must be collecting sales figures now to figure out that $250K sales. Or going on chemical usage and what that would work out to be. I can tell you this for sure. ChemDry makes their money by the franchisees having to buy all their supplies from HRI. Believe me, my costs as an independent are probably 10% what they would be as a CD. No joke, I can not even begin to comprehend how much $ I sent them over the years for supplies.
