ZIPS Dry Cleaners Franchise Opportunity
The Real Deal!
ZIPS started out as eight separate dry cleaners in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. area. In 2002, the stores united with the goal of providing a revolutionary dry cleaning experience that maintains high-quality services at one low price for any garment. Since then, ZIPS has expanded to over 50 locations across the country. We clean over 25 million garments for more than 500,000 customers every year, and we look forward to serving more customers every day!
Our Franchise Model
It’s tough to compete with our one-price, same-day business model. We have six revenue sources all at unbeatable prices: dry cleaning, Laundry By ZIPS, Pressed Laundry, tailor services, household goods and business to business. Not only do we clean up to four times the garments a traditional dry cleaner gets through every day, but we do it faster, too. Plus, we offer our customers an exceptionally efficient yet memorable experience. Altogether, it’s a concept our customers can’t get enough of — and thanks to our decades of experience in garment care — one our franchisees can easily replicate.
- The ZIPS Difference
- The difference is our passion for providing high-quality dry cleaning at unbelievably low prices. We’ve streamlined every part of the dry cleaning process, cutting costs and cleaning times to provide the best possible service at the best possible price.

Operations and Training
More than two decades later, ZIPS Dry Cleaners’ founders still operate their own stores. From them, we’ve learned that sometimes it’s necessary to get your hands dirty and that the secret to success is in the details. We provide one of the most robust 3 weeks training programs in franchising. We teach franchisees our method of perfection using hands-on and classroom-style learning.
That’s not all; we work closely with franchisees, using their input to better our systems and processes. And we’re by every franchisees’ side every step of the way with ongoing training and support.
An Essential Business
ZIPS are always open. Dry cleaners are considered an essential business because our cleaning process kills 99+% of bacteria on garments. When other traditional franchise organizations struggled to navigate through the pandemic, our stores all remained open.
