About ZIPS® Dry Cleaners Franchise
ZIPS® began as eight dry cleaners in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. metro area that have been operating since 1996. The stores joined together in October 2002 to become the largest chain of retail dry cleaners in the area. Since then ZIPS® has grown to more than 30 stores.
ZIPS® successful business model is based on the revolutionary concept of offering ANY garment dry cleaned for just $1.99 AND ready for pick-up the same day - that's less than half the price of today's industry average!
ZIPS® is committed to serving its customers by making and keeping quality dry cleaning services affordable at one low price.
ZIPS® locations have always been involved in their local communities through activities such as the donation of thousands of unclaimed garments annually to charitable organizations, the collection and cleaning of donated coats during the winter for delivery to the homeless and needy, and of course, by making quality dry cleaning services affordable for everyone in the community.

The Dry Cleaning Business: A Steadily Growing Industry
Looking good is important to everyone. From perfectly pressed jeans to "Sunday best" suits and dresses, from silk blouses to leather trimmed coats, clothing helps individuals define who they are and how they feel about themselves.
Today's busy consumers rely on the convenience of quality dry cleaning services to look their best for business and casual occasions.
The phrase "Dry Clean Only" is found more frequently on clothing care labels. Along with the introduction of new types of fine fabrics, this trend indicates the anticipated growth in the dry cleaning industry. Current national sales volume estimates are pegged at a staggering $8.
