NORTHBROOK, Ill. — Zengeler Cleaners recently promoted longtime employee Oscar Gonzalez to direct the cleaning company’s business operations.
Gonzalez, who is an 11-year employee of the family-owned company, will supervise operations at all eight Zengeler Cleaners store locations in the Chicago area. Most recently, he had served as store manager at the company’s Dundee Road location here in Northbrook since 2008.
“Zengeler Cleaners is delighted that Oscar Gonzalez has accepted our newly created position of director of business operations,” says Tom Zengeler, president of Zengeler Cleaners. “Oscar has done an outstanding job as manager of our Northbrook store for the past seven years. He is well liked and respected by our customers and employees alike—important qualities in his new role.”
Zengeler says it was the “perfect time” to create the new position, with the recent opening of a brand-new Northbrook store and continued growth at all eight store locations, and that Gonzalez is the “perfect person to lead our team.”
Gonzalez joined Zengeler Cleaners in 2004 as a clerk in the Northbrook store. He went out of his way to exceed customer expectations, and his hard work and dedication quickly paid off, resulting in his promotion to store manager in four short years.
“A big reason I enjoy working for Zengeler Cleaners is ownership treats all of us like family,” Gonzalez says. “I have my own growing family, and that makes this a great place for me to work.”
Zengeler Cleaners says it is the Midwest’s largest and oldest cleaner, having served the northern Illinois area since 1857.
