Frequently Asked Questions:

IS ANY GARMENT CLEANERS A FRANCHISE?
 

No.  Traditionally, a Franchise involves training from a central office based on a license arrangement with the franchisee. The more the franchisee makes, the more the Franchise takes. Our concept rewards the hard working store owner/operator with unlimited earnings and no additional fees or payments because our people actually own the stores.


Here’s how it works: We lease a fully equipped, turnkey store for a period of two years to the Buyer. After the two-year period Any Garment Cleaners sells the store to the Buyer for a purchase price equal to the second year Gross Sales.  We finance the purchase. It’s that simple!!

WHO IS THE SELLER, AND WHAT DO THEY SELL?
 

Any Garment Cleaners is the seller.  We find the locations, build the stores, train the buyers, and provide support.  We are hands on with the buyer during the tremendous growth period.  With a combined experience of over 100 years in all aspects of the Discount Dry Cleaning industry, training is where we excel.


WHAT MAKES YOUR TRAINING SO SPECIAL?
 

Any Garment Cleaners continues to monitor the progress the buyer makes during the lease period with hands on support.  We are at the store during the periods of rapid growth to help the buyer through every part of their business. The best-educated buyers make the best operators, and this is your key to success.


WHO IS THE BUYER, AND WHAT DO THEY INVEST?
 

Typical buyers are people who should be in business for themselves, but do not have the capital. They are talented “people persons” with their eye toward the future. They come from all walks of life, all genders, races, and all economic backgrounds. The common denominators are a burning desire to create their own destiny, and a willingness to work hard to do it. Remember, we need your desire and ambition, not your money!!


HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I MAKE?
 

While it is very typical for buyers to earn mid-six figure incomes during the lease period, they may only take a small draw.  If you have an expensive lifestyle and need money now, Any Garment Cleaners is not for you.  All of the excess profits will be collected and used as down payment for the purchase of your business!! 
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE TWO-YEAR LEASE PERIOD?
 
Our system is designed to maximize your earnings. What you earn is up to you and is a direct result of your hard work. We have found that the real sales growth comes in years 3-5. Since your purchase price is set after the 2nd year, the math works in your favor. There are never any hidden royalty charges. After the two-year period the excess profits are yours!!!


CAN I CHOOSE MY LOCATION?
 

No. If you are chosen as a buyer candidate, you will be eligible for our next available store. Keep in mind; most of our buyers have relocated across the country for this opportunity. If you are rooted in a certain area, and are unwilling or unable to relocate, please do not pursue this venture. Our #1 commitment is to prime locations and traffic flow.


WHAT MAKES A BUYER SUCCESSFUL?
 

The work is strenuous and demanding, both mentally and physically. The hours are long, and the adjustment period is very difficult. We feel that this is a small price to pay for the future that we offer you. Any Garment Cleaners is not for everyone. You must be healthy, both physically and mentally, and be very customer oriented. You must be organized, and be a good communicator. You will be required to be on the premises for all hours that the store is open. Our people go through tremendous personal growth during the lease period. We encourage your growth with our training and support. 


WHAT IS THE CATCH?
 

It is simply this: you must work hard for your rewards. Our stores are not for everyone, and the program is designed for that purpose. Business is always a risk/rewards situation. We take the risk. If you follow our formula, you get the reward. Our system is polished and refined; our methods are efficient and time tested.  From our proprietary computer system to our use of machinery, everything we do is designed to facilitate efficiency and profit for the operator. 


IS THIS FOR ME?
 

We want intelligent, hard working people who are ready to build their future with “sweat equity.” We have no set formula on human potential, but you must be ready for 100% total commitment with no outside distractions or limitations. Husband and wife teams work well, but we also have leased to partnerships with like-minded, self-motivated people.
CAN I TALK TO OTHER BUYERS?
 
We expect everyone, before they get involved, to perform their due-diligence by exploring this program fully.  Upon request, you will be provided with a list of people that you can talk to and visit so that you can make an informed decision.
