BERKLEY, Mich. — The Huntington Company LLC, a multi-concept franchisor, reports that it has added Pressed 4 Time to its group of franchise brands that provide textile restoration and drycleaning and laundry services.
Pressed 4 Time is a drycleaning and laundry pick-up and delivery service with 46 franchises in 88 U.S. territories, Huntington says.
Wayne Wudyka, CEO of Huntington, proclaims that the addition of Pressed 4 Time makes his company “the largest provider of mobile drycleaning and laundry services in North America.”
The addition of Pressed 4 Time comes on the heels of Huntington’s 2013 launch of bizzie, a franchise concept that integrates mobile technology with a locker-based pick-up and delivery service to provide drycleaning and laundry services for tenants of office buildings and residential properties.
It also aligns with the offerings of 1-800-DryClean, a drycleaning and laundry door-to-door pick-up and delivery service.
“There will be a lot of synergy among these three franchise companies,” Wudyka says, “and the addition of Pressed 4 Time will give us a larger market penetration and future franchise opportunities in areas of the U.S. where we haven’t had a presence in the past.”
Greg Longe, president of bizzie, sees the Pressed 4 Time addition as a natural extension of Huntington’s service philosophy.
“Our philosophy is to provide customers convenient, easy access to drycleaning, laundry and other textile services,” Longe says. “Pressed 4 Time has that same focus and is a perfect fit for our Huntington ideology.”
Huntington’s largest franchise brand is the Certified Restoration Drycleaning Network (“CRDN”), which Wudyka founded in 2001.
