MIAMI — Tide Services is set for a major expansion in Florida, led by franchisee group Consolidated Cleaners, Inc. & Consolidated Laundromats, LLC (CCI & CLL).
Under the leadership of Jon Kassolis, Robert Lyons, Duke Kassolis, and Alton Scavo, the group will add 14 new Tide Cleaners locations in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Combined with their 19 other locations across South Florida this will bring the total to 33 stores in Florida. In addition, they are introducing the Tide Laundromat concept with five units in Broward County and plans to expand further into Miami-Dade.
This expansion coincides with the ongoing construction of four Tide Cleaners retail locations in Boynton Beach Marketplace, Downtown Boca Raton and Strand Blvd. Moreover, CCI & CLL is building a new central plant in Fort Lauderdale to support their operations, ensuring consistent service quality and efficiency.
Currently, CCI operates 14 other Tide Cleaners locations — 10 in Charlotte, N.C. and four in Cincinnati, Ohio — with eight more locations in various stages of development.
“Our entrepreneurial spirit drives us,” says Robert Lyons, president and CEO of CCI & CLL. “With Tide Services, we had the opportunity to build on a brand that everyone knows, loves and trusts. It’s a platform for us to be at the forefront of revolutionizing an industry that hasn’t changed much over the past 50 years.”
Andy Gibson, CEO of Tide Services, commended the franchisee group’s initiative, stating, “CCI & CLL’s ambitious expansion plans highlight their leadership and dedication to the Tide brand. Their consistent performance reinforces our mission to transform the laundry service industry. We look forward to supporting their continued success and witnessing the positive impact of their efforts on communities across the country.”
