Competition
Dry cleaning has taken a knock but is now starting to pick up. Make an offer and change your lifestyle, nothing ventured nothing gained. Just do it, and never look back or stay working for others and that is if you can find a job that will last. There is only one way in my opinion to make it when you are young because you will not make it when you are old. Buying this business gives you a base to work on and a plant to do the work and a trade that will last you a lifetime. Clothes will never go out of style and cleaning them will always be around.
