Headquartered in Atlanta, Phenix Supply is the leading provider of laundry and dry cleaning products since 1899. Incorporating resources from more than 35 national vendors, the company provides products in identification, dry cleaning, laundry chemicals, packaging, and textile and finishing. With eight distribution sites dispersed throughout the southeastern United States, Phenix Supply has become an integral part of ZIPSâEUR expansion initiative.

âEURœThe breadth of our locations allows us to effectively supply every ZIPS location as it grows throughout the southeast,âEUR said Dwayne Gwaltney, Branch Manager for Phenix Supply in Richmond, Va. âEURœBy providing ZIPS with a consistent supply source, every franchise location has the ability to run as smoothly as the next, which is essential in franchising.âEUR
