Martinizing has more than 60 years of innovation & leadership experience within the dry cleaning industry. Our system was developed in 1949 when Henry Martin recognized that it was feasible for smaller, full service dry cleaning plants to provide quick service cost effectively. That began Martinizing, the pioneer of on-premise; quick dry cleaning service, and more than a 60 year history of the Martinizing System. Here is a little bit more about Martinizing:
- Currently a privately held dry cleaning company
- Rated the #1 upscale dry cleaning franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine year after year
- The targeted dry cleaning customer is white collar, between the ages of 25 and 59, with a median household income of more than $60,000.
- Currently, 160 dry cleaning franchisees operate more than 456 stores in the United States and 6 foreign countries and U.S. Territories.
Although Martinizing is the largest and best known dry cleaning franchise and brand in the U.S., it continues to innovate and grow. Since 2003, Martinizing has become the “Greener Cleaner,” utilizing the most environmentally safe methods and friendly solvents available. This attracts a more affluent, upscale customer to our stores. It also makes us one of the best franchise opportunities for entrepreneurs who recognize the importance of environmentally friendly businesses.
