LEANDER, Tex. — Booth sales are now open for the Drycleaning & Laundry Expo West (DL Expo West), scheduled for March 27–29, 2026, at the Irving (Texas) Convention Center.
“Vendors love this show because they have more one-on-one time with the customers,” says Allan Cripe, DL Expo West chairman and owner of Valet Cleaners in Temple, Texas. “Dry cleaners and laundromat owners love it because the vendors are specific to our industry.”
“After a standout year in 2024 in Las Vegas — which welcomed nearly 1,000 attendees and more than 50 exhibitors — we are pulling out all the stops to make the 2026 event unforgettable,” says California Cleaners Association (CCA) President Ray Rangwala, owner of Esteem Cleaners in Glendale, Calif.
Benefits vendors can expect from exhibiting at the DL Expo West, according to organizers, include an audience of more than 900 drycleaning and laundromat owners, managers and operators; a free attendee list; Facebook announcements; an early-bird 5% discount; and a steeper discount if registering for both West and East Expos.
Scheduled speakers include Ajay Pakrash of Rinse.com, presenting on customer acquisition; Brian Wallace of the CLA (formerly the Coin Laundry Association), on wash/dry/fold; Bill Rothrock of Yale Cleaners, on speed spotting; George Ingram of NIE Insurance, on insurance needs; and Safety and Environmental Compliance consultants Sue and Katey Kratz, on OSHA compliance.
