TURNKEY DRY-CLEANING PLANT FOR SUBLEASE – BROWNS MILLS, NJ
Rare opportunity for an experienced owner-operator to reopen a fully equipped dry-cleaning plant without the cost and delay of building a new facility from scratch.
Located at 519 Lakehurst Road, Unit E, beside Kay’s Laundromat, the facility benefits from complementary customer traffic, convenient shopping-center parking, storefront visibility, and rear delivery access. The previous operation developed local awareness and repeat customer traffic, giving the next operator a stronger starting point than an empty retail location.
The premises include a customer reception area with service counters, garment storage and handling areas, and a dedicated rear production area. Core equipment included for the tenant’s use consists of:
• NATURA EM Hydro Synchro 3000/HA 35-N dry-cleaning machine
• Two utility finishing presses
• SAILS SFF20 garment topper/form finisher
• Classic Fulton steam boiler
• CISSELL pedestal spotting unit
• Forenta plumbed spotting-system cabinet
• Quincy vertical-tank air compressor
• Installed counters, garment racks, conveyor equipment, and related fixtures, subject to final inventory and inspection
Proposed base rent is $2,000 per month with a 3% annual increase and a $4,000 security deposit. A term may be available through April 30, 2030, subject to final documents and required approvals. The tenant will be responsible for utilities, applicable operating expenses, equipment maintenance, insurance, licenses, boiler inspections, environmental compliance, and all permits required for lawful operation.
The location may be operated as a full-service dry-cleaning plant. Potential growth opportunities include residential pickup and delivery, commercial accounts, route service, alterations, specialty garment care, wedding-gown preservation, leather and suede service, wash-and-fold, and cross-promotion with the adjacent laundromat.
This is a sublease opportunity, not a sale of the real estate. The equipment is included for use during the sublease and remains the property of the sublandlord. The prior operator discontinued operations for personal reasons unrelated to the location.
This opportunity is best suited for an established dry cleaner, experienced plant operator, garment-care professional, or pickup-and-delivery company seeking in-house production capacity.

Prospective operators should perform their own market, competition, and financial due diligence.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Growth opportunities include rebuilding relationships with prior customers, establishing residential pickup-and-delivery routes, pursuing commercial accounts, and partnering with local businesses, schools, medical offices, restaurants, uniform users, and hospitality operators. Additional services could include alterations, specialty garment care, wedding-gown preservation, leather and suede service, wash-and-fold, and recurring route service. The adjacent laundromat also creates opportunities for cross-promotion and customer referrals. Online ordering, text notifications, local search marketing, and convenient delivery options could further expand the service area.
