NAPLES, Fla. — Consolidated Cleaners, Inc., in partnership with Agile Pursuits Franchising, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble (P&G), recently opened a second Tide Dry Cleaners store here, it reports.

“We are proud to open our second location in Naples, and to continue expanding our services across South Florida,” says Robert Lyons, president of Consolidated Cleaners, Inc.
