Rated the #1 Upscale Dry Cleaning Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine.
Martinizing has more than 60 years of innovation and leadership experience within the dry cleaning industry. Their system was developed in 1949 when Henry Martin recognized 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.
Currently, Martinizing franchisees operate more than 400 stores in the United States and other countries around the world.
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.
