Buy a 1-800-DryClean Franchise

1-800-DryClean is America’s premier dry cleaning and laundry pickup-and-delivery franchise, delivering convenience directly to homes and offices since 1997, with franchising from 2000. Part of Clean Franchise Brands LLC—alongside Martinizing, Lapels, Pressed4Time, and others—it offers an affordable, home-based model subcontracting actual cleaning to partners while franchisees handle routes, customer service, and marketing. With 116 franchised units historically and a focus on repeat business, money-back guarantees on first-year sales, and low startup costs (under traditional brick-and-mortar), it appeals to entrepreneurs seeking equity-building in a stable industry. No storefront needed; vans generate predictable cash flow via loyal clients in high-demand areas like Atlanta, Chicago, and Dallas. This scalable, owner-operator opportunity thrives on relationship-building for quick ramp-up and resales at 72% of gross revenues.​
