Developed in San Diego,
California in the 1960s, the concept of one price dry cleaning set the
standard
for the industry. Our founder, John Shelton, created an innovative
system of
setting up dry cleaners for his family and friends that they could
operate as
their own. Over the years, we have expanded to over 150 dry cleaners
nationwide. In 1992, three generations of dry cleaners formed a
partnership
called All City Cleaners. We continue the business of
investing in
people by helping them own their own dry cleaning business.

Concept
Each dry
cleaning plant is
independently owned and operated as a sole proprietorship. All City
Cleaners finds a location, secures the lease on the building, and
installs state of
the art, environmentally safe equipment. Once these logistics are in
place, we
select an operator based on his/her enthusiasm and desire to be a
business
owner.
Once the
plant opens, the
owner/operator receives extensive training in plant management. After
an
initial training period the owner/operator enters a two-year lease with
an
option to purchase. During the lease term careful attention is paid to
the
operating methods that have proven successful in one price dry
cleaning.
Who We Are Looking For
We are
looking for people
who have the strong desire to own their own business. You must be
motivated,
enthusiastic, and able to maintain a positive attitude. Running your
own
business is both mentally and physically challenging.
Since
customer service is a
priority in the dry cleaning business, you must be courteous and
friendly. You
must also be a strong leader, as you will be managing several
employees.
