April 17, 2025 // Franchising.com // TENNESSEE – Chem-Dry of Knoxville has been honored as the 2025 Small Business Franchise of the Year at the brand’s annual convention.

Chem-Dry of Knoxville was established in 2022, and is owned and operated by Andrew and Krystal Bremer. The Bremers received this award in recognition of their commitment to providing an exceptional customer experience from start to finish.

“This award is such a high honor and serves as a testament to our unwavering dedication to delivering top-notch carpet and upholstery cleanings as well as exceptional customer service,” said Andrew Bremer, co-owner of Chem-Dry of Knoxville. “We are humbled and grateful to know that our efforts have been recognized as we strive each day to represent both Chem-Dry and BELFOR on a local scale.”

“Andrew and Krystal embody the core values of the Chem-Dry brand due to their unwavering commitment to providing a deep, all-encompassing clean while prioritizing customer satisfaction,” said Ed Quinlan, President of Chem-Dry. “Their stellar business performance and dedication to providing exceptional service has truly set their business apart. We’re delighted to see Andrew and Krystal win the Small Business Franchise of the Year award and look forward to seeing their continued success and growth as top-performing franchise owners.”

Since its founding in 1977, Chem-Dry has grown to become one of the world’s most trusted names in carpet cleaning, with over 3,000 franchisees worldwide. Most carpet cleaning companies use steam cleaning, which relies on harsh chemicals and excessive amounts of water. Meanwhile, Chem-Dry uses an innovative process known as Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) to deeply clean carpets using a fraction of the water required for steam cleaning. What began decades ago as a simple process for removing spills eventually created the foundation for the company’s HCE process and changed the industry forever as an alternative to traditional steam cleaning.
