zi P s cleaners OPENS NEW LOCATION IN AUSTIN

Zi Ps Cleaners has opened a new location here at 3421 West William Cannon Drive, suite 141, in a space previously occupied by Brodie Lane Dental.

t he new location, operated by multi-unit franchisee Jason Frick, offers the full ZiPs garment care menu – dry cleaning of any item for $3.99, plus pressed laundry, Wash n Fold laundry, alterations and cleaning of comforters and other household items – and provides the same in by 9, out by 5 guarantee for dry cleaning for which ZiPs has become famous nationwide.

t he 1,732-square-foot “drop store” will have an on-site tailor and counter staff who will receive and return items to customers. items dropped off for dry cleaning or laundering will be processed at a nearby fully equipped ZiPs location. t he hub-and-spoke arrangement represents an expansion strategy that ZiPs is implementing throughout the country. it allows franchisees to add locations within their existing markets without the larger space or equipment requirements of a full-service plant, while also enabling them to leverage the equipment and staff they’ve already installed at existing sites. at the same time, the model allows others interested in entering the garment care business to do so with lower upfront and ongoing operating costs.
