ZIPS Brings Same-Day, One-Price Dry Cleaning to Santa Fe Springs

Opens First Store in Los Angeles County and Second of 110 in Southern California

December 07, 2017 // Franchising.com // GREENBELT, Md. - ZIPS Dry Cleaners, an aggressively expanding dry cleaning franchise known for its same-day, one-price business model, has opened its first store in Los Angeles County.

Located in The Santa Fe Springs Plaza at 13473 Telegraph Road in Whittier, the new store is the second of 110 planned for Southern California. The region’s first store opened earlier this year in Costa Mesa.

The development rights which mark the Mid-Atlantic-based brand’s largest deal to date belong to ZDry, LLC. No strangers to franchising, ZDry’s partners currently own and operate 10 Planet Fitness gyms in the Los Angeles area, one of which is also located in The Santa Fe Springs Plaza.

“What attracted us most to ZIPS was the company’s successful business model that is based on a concept revolutionary to the industry and clearly in high demand to today's dry cleaning customer dry cleaning that is ready for pick-up the same day it's dropped off and all for a flat-rate price,” said Shawn Bishop, one of the managing partners for ZDry. “Based on our experience in the marketplace, I’m confident ZIPS will be a huge success and quickly become the go-to place for dry cleaning in the region.”

Bishop added that he sees a lot of similarities between Planet Fitness and ZIPS, in that both are helping consumers become more educated when it comes to their spending.

“More than 20 years ago, before Planet Fitness changed the fitness landscape with its more affordable offering, very few people blinked an eye when they were charged $50 or more for their monthly gym membership,” he said. “Today, ZIPS is doing the same in their industry. Everyone needs dry cleaning in some capacity. The real question customers should ask themselves is, ‘Would I rather pay $50-$60 for ten pieces to be dry cleaned, or $22.90 for the same ten pieces and have it done in one day?’”

At ZIPS, a customer can have any item of clothing dry cleaned for $2.29. It doesn’t matter if the item is a necktie, a coat or a pair of pants, the price is $2.29, nearly half the industry average. Garments are cleaned on-site, allowing for same-day service. In addition, in today’s increasingly “green-conscious" society, ZIPS has invested in a closed-cleaning system that reduces waste, uses biodegradable plastic bags and recycles hangers.

“We are thrilled to team with such an experienced and prolific partner as ZDry to introduce our brand to Southern California,” said ZIPS Vice President of Development Aaron Goldberg. “The rapid growth we continue to experience proves that the ZIPS franchise investment resonates and continually attracts high caliber and savvy developers.”
