Hi. I'm Margo, and I started DRY CLEANING TO-YOUR-DOORŪ in 1994. As a woman on the go, I was traveling three out of four weeks a month. During the short time when I was at home, I never could manage to get my dry cleaning done. I would put it in the car and drive around with it for days, forgetting to drop it off. That's when I started thinking "what if" and came up with the idea for DRY CLEANING TO-YOUR-DOORŪ.
Having worked for a national real estate franchise in marketing, franchise sales and consulting since 1970, I had an excellent background for this venture.
I took a second mortgage on my home and began the route business with less than $20,000. As my route business increased, I used that money to develop the franchise program.
I'll never forget how excited I was the first morning I went out on my route. I had signed up 21 customers, and there were 11 neon green bags hanging out for Pick-up! In fact, I drove by the houses three times just to look at them before I actually stopped and picked them up!!!!!
Now I am excited every time I watch a new franchise owner who is afraid to start the business learn and grow to where they are making more money than ever before.
If you've caught the entrepreneurial spirit and would like to start your own business, DRY CLEANING TO-YOUR-DOORŪ could be the place for you, too!
