Dry Cleaning Services Grow
The use of dry cleaning services has continued to grow, fueled by several factors. These include:

• A return to many natural fibers such as silk, wool, and cotton, which require dry cleaning to look their best. Many manufactured fibers such as rayon, dacron and others, recommend dry cleaning as well.
• Convenience is a necessity these days. In many households both spouses are working and often have less time, so they seek easier ways to handle their needs. Dry cleaning certainly helps people save time. This is especially true with men's dress shirts as it is rare to find any man or woman wanting to iron shirts by hand.
• People are concerned about protecting their investment because clothing can be expensive. More women in the work place also creates a need for more professional clothing. Dry cleaning can help all workers look their best and give them the professional appearance which provides self-confidence.
• Today's casual clothes look better with dry cleaning. Even jeans, jean jackets, and sports shirts look better and last longer with professional dry cleaning and laundering.

Dry Cleaning Realities for the Prospective Owner
This industry's inventory can't spoil or grow out-of-fashion. Dry cleaning stores require a minimum number of workers and are only staffed six days a week. Unlike some industries, this one does not require 24-hour days, seven-day weeks.

The dry cleaning industry is nearly recession-proof. It provides needed services which do not disappear in economic downtimes. These services are usually regarded as essential so they are not cut back when people try to establish no-frills budgets.

For all of those reasons, the outlook for the dry cleaning industry is one of stability, yet Dry Cleaning Station is looking at dynamic growth. People who are a part of the growth can help shape this changing industry as they shape their own economic futures. According to noted marketing professor, Thomas Stanley (who has surveyed millionaires since 1973), the dry cleaning industry has created one in five millionaires. (Dry Cleaning Station has its own "Millionaires Club".)

A Franchised Business
Dry Cleaning Station is a franchised business. That means it combines the strengths of your local ownership with our business experience and expertise, and national development and coordination. Franchised businesses have an "owner presence" at each site, and each location is financed independently.

Rapid growth is possible, and the Department of Commerce indicates 95% of franchised units are still in business after 5 years, compared to only 35% of unfranchised operations. We believe the reason is the development expertise and business support offered by the franchisor.

A Dry Cleaning Station is often a family owned and operated business. You can work together to build a brighter future. As a franchisee, you can earn a comfortable living and build a business which increases in value and allows you more flexibility. When you want to expand, we will help you evaluate your plans.

This opportunity is something people only dream of when they work for someone else. Now is the time to explore your possibilities.
