The Future Of Dry Cleaning Continues In Hanover

Kimberly Wilkinson takes the helm as new owner of Lapels Dry Cleaning of Hanover

July 02, 2020 // Franchising.com // HANOVER, MA, KINGSTON, MA, MARSHFIELD, MA and COHASSET, MA - Lapels Dry Cleaning, an innovative, environmentally friendly dry cleaning company headquartered in Hanover, Massachusetts, recently announced Kimberly Wilkinson as the new owner of Lapels Dry Cleaning of Hanover. Wilkinson took over the satellite store, located at 2117 Washington Street in Hanover, MA, on June 15.

Lapels Dry Cleaning of Hanover represents the fourth location owned by Wilkinson. She’s also the owner of Lapels Dry Cleaning of Marshfield, a dry cleaning store and plant at 776 Plain Street, Marshfield, Lapels Dry Cleaning of Cohasset, a satellite store at 827 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, Cohasset, and Lapels Dry Cleaning of Kingston, another satellite store located at 150 Summer Street in Kingston.

“For the past five years, it’s been a privilege to bring the world’s only 100 percent environmentally non-toxic cleaning process to the people of the lower South Shore. With our new location further north, we can bring it to even more people in towns like Hanover, Rockland and Norwell coupled with our free delivery service,” said Wilkinson, a Marshfield resident. “The true beauty of how Lapels cleans clothes is not only that it’s better for the environment but there’s no odor as you find with other dry cleaning processes. Clothes just look and feel better,”

Adds Wilkinson, “Given the backdrop of what’s going on in the country and world, getting your clothes clean takes on added importance. Having clothes professionally cleaned in a manner that doesn’t hurt the environment provides an added level of comfort.”

The acquisition of Lapels of Hanover represents the latest in a number of impressive accomplishments for Wilkinson. She first purchased Lapels Dry Cleaning of Kingston and Lapels Dry Cleaning of Marshfield in 2015. In 2017, Wilkinson was named Lapels Franchise Owner of the Year. Under her leadership, Lapels Dry Cleaning of Cohasset has earned WickedLocal’s Readers Choice for Best Dry Cleaner on several occasions.

“Kimberly has been an incredible addition to our organization from day one. She’s a great example of how people who are teachable and have a positive attitude and work ethic can come into this business and succeed,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Dry Cleaning. “We’re thankful to have her as the new owner of Lapels Dry Cleaning of Hanover and look forward to the things she will accomplish.”
