Business Description
Established franchised dry cleaning and garment care business in Northeast Wisconsin, operating one central plant with an onsite retail store, four additional retail stores, and pickup and delivery routes serving homes and businesses. Trailing 12-month revenue (September 2025 through August 2026) was approximately $1.55 million, with approximately $200,000 in seller discretionary income, including owner add-backs.
Services include professional dry cleaning, laundered dress shirts, comforters and household items, wedding gown preservation, alterations and repairs, and wash, dry and fold. About 75% of revenue comes through the stores and 25% through the delivery routes, supported by commercial accounts and partner drop-off sites in surrounding communities.
Nearly all cleaning is done at the central plant, whose two cleaning machines were fitted with GreenEarth solvent technology in 2025. The business has about 25 full- and part-time employees, including experienced leaders at each location, and the current owner works in the business about 15 hours per week. All locations are leased on five-year terms that began in June 2025, each with two five-year extension options.
The asking price is $550,000, and seller financing is available to qualified buyers. The buyer must meet the franchisor's qualifications, including net worth requirements, and be approved by the franchisor.
