There are many good reasons to buy a dry cleaning franchise. Two-career families are more common than ever now and many families need steady access to clean, crisp, business clothes. It’s important to look the part in any profession but people don’t always have the time to take care of their professional clothes themselves. That’s where dry cleaning franchises come in: to manage this high demand for clean professional clothes.
