HANOVER, Mass. — Lapels Dry Cleaning recently opened two dry cleaning stores in Arizona’s East Valley, in Gilbert and Ahwatukee, and is opening a third store in Chandler this month. The stores are locally owned and operated by Gilbert residents Jeff and Tanya Kline.

“We are delighted to bring Lapels’ standard of high-quality dry cleaning and superior customer service to our friends, neighbors and fellow East Valley residents,” says Jeff Kline.

“There were so many reasons why we chose to purchase a Lapels franchise,” says Tanya Kline. “The environmental piece was certainly up there on our list, but it was an overall commitment to a high-quality customer experience that truly sold us.”

Lapels uses the latest technology in equipment and cleaning solutions, and produces no hazardous waste in its dry cleaning process, the company says.

Each Lapels stores offers a full slate of services, including same-day dry cleaning; shirt service; tailoring; shoe repair; wedding gown preservation; suede and leather processing; box storage; and fur storage.
