Well-Established Dry Cleaning Business – Prime Kroger-Anchored
Business Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a long-established dry cleaning business located in the heart of Suwanee, Georgia. The store is positioned in a prime Kroger-anchored shopping center, one of the most dominant retail locations in the area. Due to the unique road design and traffic pattern, all vehicles entering Kroger must pass directly in front of the store, creating exceptional visibility and continuous daily exposure. This level of visibility is difficult to replicate and has been a key driver of consistent walk-in traffic for many years.
The business has been operating for over 25 years and has demonstrated strong resilience and stability. Even as many nearby dry cleaners and pickup locations closed over time, this store continued to operate successfully and remained a trusted neighborhood business. While there is competition in the surrounding market, the dense and growing residential population supports strong demand. High traffic counts, strong anchor tenancy, and constant customer flow allow this location to remain highly competitive.
Financially, the business has shown stable gross revenue of approximately $270,000–$290,000 annually, based on tax returns over multiple years. The operation has been managed under a staffed model, including a manager, cashier, and part-time presser. However, the business can also be operated as an owner-operated model, eliminating the need for a manager salary and significantly increasing cash flow. When owner-operated, the business generates strong earnings relative to revenue, making it attractive for buyers seeking both income and long-term upside.
All furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) are included in the sale and are in working condition. The facility is fully equipped to handle increased volume without requiring major capital investment. The current layout is efficient and flexible, allowing for service expansion without operational disruption.
Due to operational capacity limits, several high-margin services are currently paused—not because of lack of demand, but because they have not been actively offered. These paused services include seven previously serviced pickup store accounts, wash & fold, delivery service, night drop system, rug cleaning, shoe cleaning, and expanded alteration services. Despite this, customers continue to request services daily. For example, wash & fold services are requested multiple times per day but are currently declined. Restarting these services represents an immediate and meaningful growth opportunity.
There is also strong potential to generate additional revenue by servicing nearby pickup locations. Many local pickup stores are actively seeking reliable plants willing to offer competitive pricing. With the existing infrastructure and location advantages, this business is well-positioned to capture wholesale volume quickly. The surrounding area continues to see new residential development, further increasing demand for convenient dry cleaning, delivery, and laundry services.
Staffing is another advantage of this location. Suwanee’s central position and strong retail environment make it easier to hire and retain employees compared to more remote markets. A motivated buyer can further improve performance by maintaining consistent operating hours, enhancing front-counter customer service, and implementing basic local marketing and delivery routes.
The business is being offered for sale as the current owners are planning to retire. After many years of successful operation and building a stable, well-known business in the community, the owners have decided to transition into retirement. This sale is not due to business performance, but purely a personal lifestyle decision, creating an excellent opportunity for a new owner to acquire a well-established operation with strong fundamentals and significant growth potential.
