We Have Contact

Part of me would like to think that you consider each and every issue of American Drycleaner to be a keeper, but I’m a realist. I know that’s probably not the case.

This August issue—containing our annual Distributors Directory—is one you should keep.

In it, you will find detailed listings for hundreds of companies that furnish drycleaning operations like yours with equipment, packaging products, chemicals and everything else they need to conduct business.

The companies are listed alphabetically by state, then company name. A map on page 8 will direct you to the page where your state’s listings begin.

If you’re reading this issue on your iPad or tablet, you can visit a distributor’s website directly or e-mail a contact right from the virtual page.

Distributor, if you weren’t aware that you could list your office in our Distributors Directory for free (we solicit information for the listings published here exclusively via e-mail now), you can address that immediately. E-mail your company’s name, address, phone number, and contact name to nfrerichs@atmags.com.

Our Distributors Directory is online at www.american drycleaner.com 24/7 and is the foundation for this print edition. List your office(s) now and you’ll be all set.

If your distributorship was listed in previous editions of the Distributors Directory but isn’t found in this one, it’s possible we were unable to verify your information. E-mail me at bbeggs@atmags.com and we’ll see about getting you back where you belong.

TALK OF THE TRADE

Survey: It’s a buyer’s market, dry cleaners say

Astronger labor market and increasing household formation should keep commercial real estate demand on a gradual incline, according to the most recent quarterly forecast by the National Association of Realtors®.

Among dry cleaners polled in July’s American Drycleaner Your Views survey, 46.5% believe that now is a good time to buy or refinance a property in their area, while 7% say conditions are good for signing or renegotiating a lease.

Roughly 12% say now is a good time to take advantage of either option, while 27.9% believe that neither option is favorable right now. The remaining 7% chose “other,” with many of those responses pointing to it being a time to sell real estate.

“Real estate values have skyrocketed in the last two years,” writes one respondent. “Prices are very high.”

When asked about their current real estate position, the majority—55.8%—say their commitments are appropriate at this time. Roughly 21% are looking to sell a property, and 7% are trying to end leases and close locations.

Roughly 9% are in the market to buy or refinance a property, 2.3% are looking to sign or renegotiate a lease, and 4.7% are open to buying or leasing.

Some of the other individual comments we received:

• “Landlords think the economy is booming, but dry cleaning is a little soft.”

• “I built my own freestanding location in 1985, and it is paid for. The recession caused a glut of available space on the market which is now approaching normal levels and driving rents higher in my area.”

• “My property (land and building) value continues to grow, and I will have it paid off in 18 months (10 years from inception). It has become a larger asset than my business, in spite of the continued growth of the business.”

• “Sales by location are too slow to expand and yet good enough to be kept open.”

The Your Views survey presents a snapshot of readers’ viewpoints at a particular moment and should not be considered scientific. Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

Subscribers to American Drycleaner e-mails are invited each month to take a brief industry survey they can complete anonymously. The entire trade audience is en-

couraged to participate, as a greater number of responses will help to better define owner/operator opinions and industry trends.

Companies are listed alphabetically by state in the United States, in Puerto Rico and in Canada. Distributors often serve areas beyond the states and cities in which they’re located, so when looking for a source of equipment or supplies, be sure to check the surrounding states and regions.

The map below displays postal codes of the states and the names of the outlying territories covered in the Distributors Directory, with the page numbers on which their listings begin. To locate distributors near you, refer to the map and turn to the page number(s) shown.

The Distributors Directory offers updated contact information for companies that offer customers e-mail access ( ) and websites ( ). Also, this year’s edition again features expanded product listings to specify drycleaning, laundry, wet cleaning and/or finishing equipment; drycleaning solvents; detergents and

chemicals; packaging and supplies; parts and service; and additional information.

Listings begin on page 10 and run through page 34. Distributors, if your company isn’t listed, e-mail Bruce Beggs (bbeggs@ atmags.com) to learn how it can be added to our free online directory and to next year’s print edition!

America’s Best Cleaners Affiliates gather in NYC for best-practices mtg.

Affiliates of America’s Best Cleaners™ (ABC) traveled to New York City from across the United States and Canada in May to meet for three days of networking and presentations around industry and general business best practices, ABC reports.

The meeting kicked off with a tour of the newly opened China: Through the Looking Glass exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Anna Wintour Costume Center. The display of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear fashions gave the attendees insight into the construction and care of high-end, heavily decorated garments.

Affiliates learned of ABC’s new NextGen Workgroup, designed to advance the leadership potential of millenni al employees within Affiliate businesses. The group also heard from Mitch Gambert, of Mel Gambert Custom Shirt Makers, on garment fabric and construction trends, and from Nick Regine of Swarovski, who introduced the famed embellishment manufacturer’s new lines and re viewed ABC’s exclusive Affiliate Support Program.

On day two, after an interactive discussion on best business practices, the group visited the Albright Fash ion Library, where they were invited to view more than 20,000 couture and designer items housed in the Library’s 7,000-square-foot showroom. The site helps clients source inspired looks for photo shoots, film, per formances or special events.

In addition, ABC’s professional team led discussions on various subjects. Catherine McCann, partner and op erations director, led a discussion on retail store design, citing case studies of business growth and increased sales attributed to facility upgrades. Katherine McGraw Patterson, marketing and branding specialist, shared a

portfolio of new marketing materials available to Affili ates. Ed D’Elicio presented a discussion on pricing and posed the question of how to price in line with garment value and needs. Finally, Executive Director Chris White discussed building relationships with retailers within Af filiates’ markets.

Green Garmento adds Butler as national sales manager

Otis Butler, the national sales manager for HMC Solu tions since 2009, has signed on as national accounts manager for The Green Garmento, the latter reports.

Along with his “affable personality and sales skills,” Butler brings something that The Green Garmento has long been seeking: someone with a strong knowledge of conveyors and how best to implement reusables into dry cleaners’ packaging systems.

The Green Garmento offers a family of sustainable packaging products for professional dry cleaners and launderers. Its foundational product is a reusable dry cleaning garment bag.

Butler, who still lives in his hometown of Old Town, Maine, also has a background in retail, having once man aged Radio Shack and Staples stores, The Green Gar mento reports.

Says Rick Siegel, TGG president, “Otis is one of the most likable people in our industry. It is a real coup for us to have someone with such a combination of skills to help us reach our next plateau.”

Bird’s-Eye View

10 YEARS AGO. The National Cleaners Association (NCA) is making a series of educational programs available via telephone, bringing seminars to dry cleaners in their stores, cars and homes. The telephone conferences require no plane tickets, driving or time off, NCA says, and also offer an online participation option. After the seminar, NCA will forward an audio CD of the presentation to participants, so they can review the seminar and share the information with staffers.

and a customized, comprehensive marketing plan with membership cards and discounts. The result: a reported growth rate among new customers of 50%, and nearly a 100% renewal rate of old.

August 2005

… The numbers are in, and although Clean ’05 in Orlando was somewhat smaller than its predecessor, it won rave reviews almost universally from exhibitors and attendees. With 228,850 square feet of exhibit space in Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center, the world’s largest textile care expo brought in 13,951 people, including nearly 10,000 attendees eager to peruse the products and services of the 511 exhibitors.

25 YEARS AGO. The International Fabricare Institute’s Elizabeth Moreland recently attended the Techtextil Symposium and the International Drycleaning Research Committee meeting in Frankfurt, West Germany. “Environmental concerns have become the main focus of these meetings,” says Moreland, IFI’s division director, technical services. “Each of the countries recognizes that we must work together to find viable solutions to protect the environment and face the tough challenges of increased regulatory controls.” The symposium examined alternatives to present solvents, chlorinated solvents in groundwater, the effect of perc on human health, recent technologies for minimizing solvent loss in drycleaning, recovery of perc from use filters and still residues, and measuring instruments for solvent vapor. … Robert J. Santo of Westwood Cleaners in Westfield, N.J., has successfully combined the best aspects of customer attraction and retention with a mix of community trust

50 YEARS AGO. With six English sparrow nests perched over the door of Giorgio Cleaners in Windsor, Conn., Nick Giorgio knew how to make the most of it. He put up a sign reading, “Careful—mother birds nesting overhead. Splattered? I will clean it free of charge.” The sign got a lot of attention, including a story in the Hartford Courant. It quoted Giorgio as saying that the eggs in two nests were already hatched and there were four more to go. Also, that he had no intention of removing the nests until all of the birds had left. The nests had been in the process of building for a year and a half. At last report, there had been no claim for a free cleaning job. … The industry’s greatest exponents of quality are currently enjoying an unparalleled boom in business. Such is the case with Meader’s, the widely known San Francisco cleaner, which moved two months ago into expanded quarters to meet the needs dictated by increased volume. “The demand for quality dry cleaners is greater than ever before,” says Joseph Kearn, president and general manager of the 40-year-old firm. “Our main objective in expanding wasn’t to produce more quantity at a lower cost but to produce the same quantity at the same cost.”

75 YEARS AGO. “Why, I saw you in the movies!” If Martin Hellman of Minneapolis’ Majestic Cleaning & Dyeing Co. has his way, that is what a great many solicited customers are going to say to Majestic route men. As part of Majestic’s fall campaign, Hellman is planning to have a series of movie trailers made, one for each of the 10 routes. Each route man will appear in the trailer to be shown in his territory. Thus, when he solicits new business, the housewife may recall that she “saw him in the movies.” Even if she doesn’t, he has a talking point.
