COLUMBUS, Ohio — Tide Dry Cleaners, in partnership with Agile Pursuits Franchising Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble (P&G), opened its 50th store recently.
“The ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand-opening events throughout Columbus were an absolute success, and a very special milestone for all of us at Tide Dry Cleaners, including our franchisees and all team members in each of our stores throughout the country,” says Thomas Flaherty, president and CEO, Agile Pursuits Franchising.
Located in the heart of Ohio, the newest store will join the ranks of its neighboring Columbus locations to ensure customer convenience is a top priority, the company says.
“We listened to guests who shared their former drycleaning frustrations, and are pleased to offer a new, unique combination of amenities and quality customer service at each location,” points out Dave Walker, director of brand marketing for the company.
Since its inception in 2011, the business has become the fourth largest dry cleaner in the country by number of locations, and one of the fastest-growing drycleaning franchises in the U.S., the firm relates.
“The expansion in this market is truly unprecedented,” says Flaherty.
The stores offer drive-thru concierge service and kiosks with 24-hour pickup and drop-off, in conjunction with GreenEarth® technology, and Tide® and Downy® fabric care, the company notes.
“Our dedication to providing an exceptional drycleaning experience is still our number one priority, and we will continue to deliver the trusted ‘clean’ our customers have come to expect at all of our locations,” Flaherty adds.
