Tide Services has strengthened its coast-to-coast footprint with the acquisition and rebranding of four former Flair Cleaners locations in the Los Angeles area.
The newly branded stores — located in Santa Monica, Redondo Beach, Studio City and Valencia — are owned and operated by Jon and Megan Mut of Clean Rock Ventures, marking Tide Cleaners’ first entry into Southern California. The acquisition is part of a larger wave of strategic market growth that also includes multi-unit expansions in Florida, Texas and the Midwest.
“With this acquisition, we are modernizing legacy drycleaners, investing in local ownership and building a stronger nationwide network,” said Andy Gibson, president and CEO of Tide Services. “From the Muts’ leadership in Los Angeles to our multi-unit operators in Florida, this growth reflects our strategy of combining local roots with the strength of the Tide brand.”
“People expect more from their cleaners, and they should,” said Jon Mut. “We’re focused on quality, convenience and care, and our goal is to deliver an experience that customers can feel good about.”
“We’ve built our lives and careers here in California, so opening stores in the neighborhoods we call home is deeply meaningful to us,” added Megan Mut.
The LA acquisition complements a significant expansion in Florida, where franchisee group Consolidated Cleaners, Inc. & Consolidated Laundromats, LLC (CCI & CLL) is adding 14 new Tide Cleaners locations in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, bringing their total to 33 in the state. The group is also introducing the innovative Tide Laundromat concept with five units in Broward County and plans for additional locations in Miami-Dade.
These expansions are part of Tide Services’ broader growth strategy, which has pushed its combined Tide Cleaners and Tide Laundromat footprint past 200 locations nationwide. To learn more about Tide Cleaners and Tide Laundromat franchise opportunities, visit www.TideFranchise.com.
