Indian Land, NC, Charlotte, NC, Fort Mill, SC and Naples, FL, March 31, 2023 -- Since December 2022, residents of the greater Indian Land area have experienced the future of garment care with the opening of Lapels Cleaners of Indian Land at 6257 Carolina Commons Drive, Indian Land. On Saturday, April 8, the future is officially is here with the grand opening celebration of Lapels Cleaners of Indian Land.
“We truly hit the ground running when we acquired this location from Natural Green Cleaners in December and the response from customers has been tremendous,” said Todd Huston, who in addition to Lapels Cleaners of Indian Land also is the owner of Lapels Cleaners of Fort Mill (855 Gold Hill Road, Fort Mill, SC), SC and Lapels Cleaners of Berewick in Charlotte, NC (4815 Berewick Town Center Drive, Charlotte). “We’re hosting this grand opening to thank those customers for their warm response and to introduce new customers to Lapels Cleaners and the environmentally friendly way we clean clothes.”
Huston’s referring to Lapels’ eco-friendly dry-cleaning experience, which they have pioneered over the past two decades. That process features a partnership agreement with GreenEarth®, the dry cleaning industry’s only non-toxic cleaning alternative. Using GreenEarth’s solutions and the latest technology in equipment, Lapels is one of the few dry cleaners able to boast that there is no hazardous waste in their process. Their environmentally friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes.
“Before opening Lapels Cleaners of Fort Mill, I had a very long and successful management career in retail, specifically in apparel. I have never seen a dry cleaning process that cleans and extends the life of clothing like Lapels,” said Huston.
Huston spent nearly three decades in the fashion retail industry in nearly all facets of the business—sales, marketing, merchandising, operations. Looking for a new challenge, he began researching franchise opportunities where he could best utilize his sales, marketing and organizational skills. Huston chose Lapels Dry Cleaning for its superior business concept and product, in addition to the need for more and better garment cleaners in the greater Charlotte area.
“Lapels Cleaners also sets itself apart with our customer service,” said Huston, who was named Lapels Franchise Owner of the Year in 2019 and 2020. “And that’s another area where we will delight customers.”
