Blacks Business Brokers Completes Successful Sale Of Dry Clean Plus

Blacks Business Brokers are delighted to announce the successful sale of Dryclean Plus, a highly regarded dry cleaning and laundry business located in the heart of Newark. Dryclean Plus has been trading on Bargate since 2009, with the current owner taking over in 2010. Over the past thirteen years, the business has firmly established itself within the local community and has earned an exceptional reputation for quality service, reliability, and specialist cleaning expertise.

Dryclean Plus provides a comprehensive range of dry cleaning services, catering to individual and commercial clients alike. Customers can bring in garments such as wedding dresses, suits, and scarves, all of which are treated with meticulous care. The business is particularly renowned for its specialist stain removal services, with silk items often being sent from as far afield as London due to the business’s exceptional skill and reputation. Beyond dry cleaning, Dryclean Plus offers laundry services for a wide variety of household items, including duvets, sports kits, curtains, and cushion covers. The business also provides a convenient collection and delivery service and offers a one-day turnaround for urgent cleaning needs.

A significant strength of Dryclean Plus lies in its established local customer base. Through a combination of local marketing efforts and strong word-of-mouth recommendations, the business has built a database of loyal clients, with over 300 members enrolled in the loyalty card scheme. In addition, the company maintains three commercial cleaning contracts, providing a steady and reliable income stream. The business has been run with a hands-on approach, and it requires a new owner with a genuine passion for this sector to continue its legacy and expand its operations further. The current owner is relocating and is willing to remain involved for a period to provide full training, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of service for customers.

The location of Dryclean Plus adds significant value to the business. It occupies a superb trading position in the centre of Newark, at the corner of Slaughterhouse Lane and Northgate. The premises are part of a new, purpose-built retail development, which includes multiple retail outlets such as a Morrisons superstore. The area is densely populated commercially and benefits from several local attractions, including the Newark Museum and Newark Castle and Gardens. Excellent public transport links make the business easily accessible, with both Newark Castle Station and Newark North Station within walking distance. The town is well connected via the A46, and convenient parking is available nearby, making it simple for clients to drop off and collect their items.

The premises themselves are an outstanding feature of the business. Dryclean Plus operates from a well-presented, end-terraced property that blends seamlessly with the historical character of Newark. The property features modern signage and a glazed frontage that enhances its visibility and professional appeal. The interior is designed for both functionality and customer comfort, with a welcoming reception area and service counter. Behind the counter lies a spacious, fully-equipped workshop area, complete with pressing and cleaning equipment and ample rack hanging space. Additionally, the premises include a private office, kitchenette, and toilet facilities on the first floor, all finished to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings. A comprehensive inventory of equipment and fixtures is available on request.

Dryclean Plus represents a remarkable opportunity for a new owner to build upon the existing strong foundations. The business has significant potential for further growth, particularly through the development of a more comprehensive website with an online booking system, an active social media presence, and expansion into additional corporate contracts. This leasehold business is ideally suited to a hands-on owner operator who is motivated to grow the business, enhance its online presence, and further capitalise on its impressive reputation and loyal customer base. Early viewings are strongly recommended to fully appreciate the potential of this established and respected enterprise.
