Lapels Dry Cleaning stores are like no other. We have spent nearly two decades defining “The Future of Dry Cleaning”.
Lapels Dry Cleaning was founded in 2000 as the first Environmentally Friendly Dry Cleaning franchise and we are still the market leader today.
Entrepreneur magazine recently named us the #1 Dry Cleaning Franchise opportunity. We are in an industry where it’s not a fad like other businesses and is as close to being recession resistant as any industry can offer.
Why Dry Cleaning?

Strategically Grow Your Business
One of the greatest benefits of the dry cleaning industry is how scalable the business can be. Start by building your centralized environmentally friendly plant with a retail store. This facility will enable you to then build an additional five satellite stores for a fraction of the initial cost that can be strategically located within your territory and serviced by your plant.
Satellite store footprints can be very flexible and give us the ability to put them in virtually any location from 600 sq. ft. to 1,200 sq. ft. We now have satellite stores in our program doing over $1,000 per square foot in sales.
With a Lapels® franchise you are in business for yourself but not by yourself.
Our corporate team will be right there working with you to assure your success. In addition, you will be working with other franchisees to compare operational procedures and new strategies along the way.
