Our dynamic “hub and spoke” re-designed franchise opportunity is revolutionizing the industry, and we’ve now added new services to diversify and expand our reach.

Dry cleaning businesses are an increasingly popular business to own. There is relatively little overhead, they are recession resistant and very low cost of goods. But what is the best way to get into the dry cleaning business? Opening your own, independent dry cleaning store can be daunting if you haven’t been in the industry for years and understand the inside operations. This is why joining a successful franchise is the smart choice.
