Specialty Drycleaners Form Unique
Partnership
World's leading drycleaners to co-market unique
services
Toronto, Canada (September 17) -- When Mick Jagger was in
Toronto to perform with the Rolling Stones for the SARS benefit
concert, he needed a specialty drycleaner to ensure that his black
jeans remained colorfast. Jagger did not need to look further than
Creed's Dry Cleaning for a unique cleaning process that uses an
oil-based bath to ensure his black would not fade to gray. And when
the famed Four Season's Hotel in Toronto needs drycleaning services
for its distinguished guests, it turns exclusively to Creed's.
While Creed's has built an unparalleled reputation in Canada for
providing distinctive drycleaning services, they are among a
handful of drycleaners throughout North America that specialize in
cleaning and restoring designer and haute couture garments and
textiles. In an effort to promote their customized services, a
select group of drycleaners in North America have joined with
Creed's to form Leading Cleaners Internationale.
Other members of this newly formed consortium include Bancrofts
Cleaners in Melbourne, Australia; Coronet Fine Drycleaning in
Houston; Davis Imperial Cleaners in Chicago; Hallak Cleaners with
locations in Manhattan and Hackensack, NJ; Margaret's Cleaners with
locations in La Jolla, Del Mar and Newport Beach; Meurice Garment
Care with locations in Manhattan, Hewlett and Manhasset, NY; New
City Cleaners in Bakersfield, CA; and RAVE FabriCARE in Scottsdale,
AZ.
"We are a group of drycleaners who have come together to offer
consumers, retailers, designers and manufacturers throughout North
America access to fabric care services delivered with a singular
passion for excellence," said Wayne Edelman, owner of Meurice
Garment Care of New York.
Through a newly-launched website - www.leadingcleaners.com --
consumers can search for information about each of the consortium
members and can link to their respective websites. Leading Cleaners
Internationale will expand its membership base through an
application process that ensures that prospective members meet the
rigorous quality standards set by the organization.
