    Do any of you posters know if there is a Dry Cleaning Franchise in Ireland for clothes, suits, household cutains etc..

    I am not interested in Chem Dry or any of the Industrial Cleaning franchises.

    I would be interested in investing in a "properly run Dry Cleaners" as I know where there is a golden opportunity for one.

    Do you really need a franchise for a dry cleaners?

    What brand recognition would you need ?

    To be honest you don't need a franchise, just get a catchy name!!

    Where are you going to try set up?? I've just seen a well established dry cleaners close one of there premises and move to the other one in a less busy (footfall) area...

    From speaking with a guy who owns three of them, it seems quite difficult to get PP for new ones and there are serious hoops to jump through wrt environmental health if you do manage it owing to the nasty chemicals they use.

    I think to have a chance of survival you need to offer full service launderette at same site tbh.

    Is there really a business in running a laundrette anymore? I mean, you're in competition with power city. They are selling an A-rated washer on the website delivered for less than two week's dole.

    If you have a good enough premises, you could just send the stuff out to be cleaned, surely? Maybe do the preparation or somethng yourself. It might sound thin as a business, but if you had a good supplier, it might be the way to do it. I'm sure there are plenty of perfectly good dry cleaning firms which aren't filling their capacity.

    You could combine it with some other clothes-related services. I think it could be great!

    You can get your drycleaning picked up from your home or work these days.
    Nice concept. Don't know how well it's working though.
