Multi-Unit Franchise Opportunities

Why settle for one Tide Cleaners location when the potential to build revenue with additional locations is so high? Tide Cleaners requires multi-unit franchise ownership. Passionate owners who want to have a bigger reach in their communities, or who want to expand their businesses to other markets, are encouraged to grow. Here’s how our multi-unit franchise opportunities work.

Tide Cleaners Outlets

Every new Tide Cleaners franchise owner must start with a Plant Store outlet as their first location. This is typically a 2,800-3,200 square-foot location with a drive-thru. This type of location processes the garments in addition to giving customers a physical location that is developed with convenience in mind, to drop-off and pick-up their garments. After opening a Plant Store, franchise owners can begin offering delivery services within their area while looking to open their next location. Additional locations can be additional Plant Stores, or any of our various Drop Store formats. Drop Stores do not process garments but provide an additional convenient physical location for customers to drop-off and pick-up their garments. Plant Stores and Drop Stores also offer 24/7 drop-off and pick-up through drop boxes, kiosks, or lockers.
