Huntington Cleaners, which operate multiple retail drycleaning locations and an insurance restoration service franchise, CRDN of Michigan and Northwest Ohio, has promoted Jennifer Budzinski to vice president of operations. Budzinski has spent her 33-year career, starting in 1991, with Huntington Cleaners. She joined Huntington Cleaners as a front counter associate when she was just 15 years old.
Budzinski will oversee the Huntington Cleaners business, which includes Huntington Cleaners, Wesch Cleaners, and Camelot Cleaners retail locations, delivery service routes, locker-based pick-up and delivery system, commercial cleaning services, and the CRDN of Michigan and Northwest Ohio franchise (providing insurance restoration cleaning).
Budzinski’s dynamic skills as an inspiring leader, critical thinker, and swift problem solver, have positioned Budzinski to lead the companies through their continued expansion and provided this opportunity to enhance her career. Her valuable contributions to the team in her recent role as general manager have had a profound and lasting impact on the entire organization and its approximately 200 employees.
“Jennifer has earned this new role through hard work, dedication and a deep understanding for our business and who we serve,” said Wayne Wudyka, co-owner of Huntington Cleaners and CEO and founder of CRDN. “This achievement is a testament to the ability to build and grow a lifetime career with our family of brands. Jennifer is an invaluable team member who has been instrumental in our success for more than 30 years. She has an unwavering commitment to customer service and to her team and she will continue to shine as she leads our operations, putting her unparalleled knowledge and skills to work.”
