did you know? Consumers from all walks of life use dry cleaning services; dry cleaning is not a fad or a luxury, as most people have to dry clean some garments on a regular basis. The dry cleaning and laundry services market is a quiet, but formidable, $9 Billion industry.1 With recent trends in value-oriented consumer spending, traditional dry cleaning operators haven’t kept pace with changing consumer demands for the optimal mix of service, quality, and value. Most traditional dry cleaners “will be required to introduce more cost effective work practices, efficient production plant layout as well as modern technology and delivery modes” to survive.2 The dry cleaning and laundry industry is highly fragmented and largely comprised of independent “mom & pop” stores that don’t offer a branded presence to meet the demanding needs of present day customers; the market is ripe for a national, recognized brand that offers convenient locations, consistent results, and an outstanding value to all its customers. The points above make it clear: now is the time to get on board with a brand and a concept that meets current needs and addresses future trends head on – providing you with an outstanding opportunity to learn, grow, and build your own future with a company that believes in market share results. What franchise opportunity can provide you with all this?
The answer is simple: CD One Price Cleaners.
Don’t just take our word for it. See what our customers have to say...

Their prices are simply the best and their service is still top notch.

* According to an independent study completed in September 2012 by the Blackstone Group of over 150 Chicago-area dry cleaners, the prices at CD One Price Cleaners for a “basket” of dry cleaning services were, on average, 61% lower than non-CD One Price Cleaners stores in the same ZIP code areas.
Since launching its franchise program, CD One Price Cleaners has established itself as arguably the largest and fastest-growing dry cleaning provider in the Chicago area. With an extensive network of stores already in operation, and plans for further strategic growth, our one-price, same-day dry cleaning services are utilized by a broad cross-section of the population that is constantly seeking fast, high quality services at a fair price. Our business model is streamlined and simplified. Our execution is focused and unique. We attract customers through dramatic savings*, made possible by our highly efficient “superstore” locations. Our on-premise cleaning and pressing equipment enables us to process a significantly higher number of garments per day while offering our customers the convenience of same day service at no extra charge. And our “one-price” model keeps customers coming back. Most dry cleaners don’t post their pricing; but we pride ourselves on our transparent, value-oriented pricing structure. Customers know they will pay the same per-garment price for all dry clean items they bring in – no matter if they’re men’s or women’s clothing, coats, sweaters, uniforms, and more. With visible operations and state-of-the-art equipment, we encourage our customers to watch the production team in action – all while sipping a cup of complimentary gourmet coffee. Customers know that their garments will be cleaned and pressed with care and to exacting quality standards. As a CD One Price Cleaners franchise owner, this is a business model you can be proud to own.
Initial and Ongoing Franchise Support When you are part of an established, experienced franchise network like the one we’ve built at CD One Price Cleaners, you can be assured that we are committed to providing the highest level of initial and ongoing professional support. We are a data-driven organization that listens to its customers, always striving to improve our operational processes for the benefit of our franchisees as well as our customers. As a franchise owner, you will receive the full support of a franchise team that will provide ongoing guidance that reflects our four core values: relationship building, striving for continuous improvement, taking ownership and being informed decision makers. Here are just some of the support tools and services you have access to as a CD One Price Cleaners franchise owner: Guidance on site selection, store layout and proper equipment selection, so your store can operate efficiently and to CD One Price Cleaners standards. Typically, our stores range from 2,800 – 3,200 square feet. A complete pre-opening training program both at our corporate training store, our central office, and at your store location. Topics covered include operational procedures focused on quality and efficiency, customer service strategies and techniques, and much more.
A store point-of-sale system that processes credit card payments and is more than just a cash register, it is a robust system that notifies customers by email when their clothes are ready and automates key garment processing systems including customer identification, garment tagging, orderly garment processing, racking, and retrieval at pick up. Additionally, the point-of-sale system collects key metrics on your store’s performance, including customer experience scores, and generates a variety of operational reports designed to help you manage and market your store as efficiently as possible.
Strong support of your local marketing efforts, to help you to promote your store in your local community, and attract and retain loyal customers. Plus, our significant franchise marketing fund, with ongoing contributions from both franchise and corporate stores, allows us to maintain a strong Internet presence, as well as implement targeted efforts that have included direct mail, postcard inserts, radio, TV and other aggressive marketing strategies – using media that are often unaffordable to other independent dry cleaners. A comprehensive, confidential, and continually updated operations manual, covering the key details of managing a professional, efficient business, including staff scheduling and labor planning, inventory controls, standardized production procedures, equipment use and maintenance, new program rollouts and more. Select vendor lists and grouped buying power, so you can feel confident you are getting preferred, volume driven pricing on the key supplies you need to run an efficient operation, from recyclable hangers to cleaning solutions and more. Store support by phone, email, and onsite visits from a designated franchise support representative to help you benchmark and monitor the growth of your business and keep your operations in top form. Ongoing training workshops and meetings to introduce revised and new operating procedures designed to improve the quality of services provided to customers.
