Business Description
Incredible opportunity to purchase this long standing drycleaner has been serving the Sacramento community for the past several decades. The business enjoys a reputation of offering customers quality service and very reasonable prices. The business offers full-service garment care, including dry cleaning, laundry, alterations, and specialty fabric cleaning.

The clientele of the business is well established and diverse, with a healthy mix of both individual retail customers as well as a growing base of commercial accounts. All of the retail clientele is derived purely from repeat and referral business, with there presently being no dollars allocated towards marketing. The owner has been able to secure numerous commercial accounts from local establishments like Target Distribution Center, Dollar General Distribution Center, Travis Air Force Base, and a several others. The benefit of these commercial accounts is that they run continuously, so they keep the revenue stable and offset any seasonality to the business by filling gaps at the slower points of the year.

The expansive 3,200 square foot facilities are turn-key and fully outfitted with all of the necessary equipment to efficiently operate the business from day one. Included in the sale is a 2021 Nissan NV200 delivery van with approximately 81k miles. The vehicle is in great condition and fully paid off. Additionally, there is a RealStar dry cleaning machine, 8 washers ranging from 20-60lbs, 4 dryers, Shirt Press & Cuff and Collar Machine, Top Station (blower and press machine with steam iron), Bottom Station Press Machine with Steam Iron, and Spot Cleaning Station.

In addition to the main plant, there is also a 900 square foot secondary agency store in West Sacramento. This location handles pick ups and drop-offs only, with the main 3,200 sf plant managing all of the actual garment cleaning.

The owner’s involvement in operations of the business is limited to 15-20 hours per week. He is active at the plant 3 days a week for a few hours each day, and the rest of the week the business is employee run. His responsibilities are primarily on the administrative side, consisting of tasks such as paying bills, ordering supplies, payroll, bookkeeping, and employee scheduling. The owner is not front and center of the business and doesn’t generally wait on customers, so a change of ownership wouldn’t cause any meaningful disruption amongst the client base. The semi-absentee nature of the business offers a new owner with a more hands on approach the ability to increase sales while also cutting payroll expenses, which would positively impact both the top and bottom line.

All of the production, garment cleaning, and alterations are performed by a team of well qualified and tenured staff, some of which have been with the company for an extended period of time. The owner has put in place a dedicated team of skilled employees that are capably trained and possess the necessary expertise to carry forward under a new operator, ensuring a higher probability for a smooth transition of ownership.

The business grossed approximately $390,000 between both locations in 2024, with around $115,000 in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings. 2025 is on pace to do roughly $425,000 - 440,000 in top line sales, so the business is trending towards a double digit year over year increase, with a subsequent bump on the SDE figure as well.

The business offers a simple and straightforward model with most aspects of the business already being fully systemized, so prior industry specific experience isn’t mandatory. All of the operational infrastructure is already in place so it is truly an attractive opportunity for someone to seamlessly step into a proven business, or for an industrious owner who’s willing to implement some fresh ideas and expand on what’s already established.

* The seller will consider carrying a portion of the purchase price for a qualified buyer. *

Opportunities for Growth
The greatest opportunity to grow revenue lies in expanding the pickup and drop off business on both the retail and commercial side. Currently there are no delivery services being offered to the existing customer base. Additionally, expanding outreach efforts on the commercial side and pursuing more accounts is a way to greatly expand consistent and recurring revenue. A more active operator can also eliminate employment redundancies and increase profit by being more involved in daily operations of the business.
