Clean Franchise Brands (CFB) Helps Disney on Ice Keep It Clean; Announces Preferred Vendor Agreement

Naples, FL and Palmetto, FL, October 08, 2021 -/ExPressRelease UK/- Clean Franchise Brands (CFB), the largest dry cleaning and laundry company on the planet, recently announced its preferred vendor arrangement with Feld Entertainment, the world leader in producing and presenting live family venues, including Disney on Ice. CFB will provide dry cleaning and laundry services for Disney on Ice, which is now touring throughout the US.

CFB franchise locations, which include Lapels Dry Cleaning, Martinizing Dry Cleaning, 1-800-Dry Clean, Pressed4Time and Dry Cleaning Station, will provide dry cleaning and laundry services for Disney touring personnel at the Disney on Ice shows.

“When we created CFB in April and expanded our holdings to become the world’s largest dry cleaning entity, we envisioned a number of possibilities of where we could be of service. Touring productions like Disney on Ice was one of them,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO and President of Clean Franchise Brands. “We’re excited to have landed this agreement with Feld Entertainment and even more delighted to play a very small part for Disney on Ice, which brings joy to so many.”

Adds Dubois, “In the past, Feld Entertainment had service agreements with local, independent dry cleaners. Unfortunately, many of those cleaners did not survive the past year with the pandemic. With CFB, we have franchise locations across the U.S. who can provide dry cleaning and laundry services to the show personnel in more than two dozen states.”

In addition to Disney on Ice, Feld Entertainment (www.feldentertainment.com) puts on a number of arena events, including Monster Jam; Marvel Universe Live; Sesame Street Live; Jurassic World Live; Trolls: The Experience; and more.

With its five franchise brands, CFB has more than 350+ stores in 40 states and nine countries—earning its title as the largest dry cleaning company in the world. Franchise owners offer a wide range of garment care services, which include dry cleaning, wash-and-fold, tailoring, and more.

Clean Franchise Brands also offers a conversion program to independent dry cleaning business owners that would like to receive international marketing and technology assistance while owners focus on running their businesses.

Clothes just look and feel better,” said Kaur. “We are so excited to bring the Lapels experience to the Wilkes-Barre area.”

Prior to owning Lapels Dry Cleaning of Wilkes-Barre, Kaur owned a transportation business. In looking for a franchise opportunity, she chose Lapels Dry Cleaning for its systems and programs.

Lapels has a partnership agreement with GreenEarth®, the dry cleaning industry’s only non-toxic cleaning alternative for its newer locations. Using these kinds of solutions and the latest technology in equipment, Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners able to boast that there is no hazardous waste in their process. Their environmentally-friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes.

Lapels Dry Cleaning also sets itself apart with its customer service. Lapels customers are greeted in a warm and inviting reception area with friendly customer service representatives. Most Lapels locations provide alterations and shoe cleaning/repair as ancillary services.

Lapels also offers its customers Automatic Rewards earning them credit towards free dry cleaning for every dollar they spend, Loyalty Programs, a VIP Program which eliminates the need to wait in line, the use of a 24 Hour Drop Off Service and FREE Home Delivery to all its customers. During the COVID-19 pandemic Lapels provided a “car hop” service where customers can drop off and pick up their clothing without ever leaving their cars.
