Pressed4Time is a sophisticated dry cleaning pick-up and delivery
service. We target people at local businesses and homes establishing
routes our customers can depend on. Twice weekly, we pick up and
deliver dry cleaning, shirts and shoes for repair. A local dry cleaning
plant does all dry cleaning.
Pressed4Time provides 7 key elements to get a
franchise up and running fast.

1) Name Recognition
- The use of the Pressed4Time name and logo - Pressed4Time is a name
people talk about... a name they don't forget. We have the most
recognizable and memorable name in the business!
2) Complete and Extensive
Start-up Training - In addition to the training manual, our
successful, entrepreneurial experience is packaged in a comprehensive
course that teaches you everything you need to know about running a P4T
franchise. From setting up your books and where to market, to providing
outstanding customer service, the training covers it all. Training
takes place in three segments: the first at the corporate training
center, the second in your territory, and the third -after you're in
business for a couple of months- we'll return and spend more time in
the field with you to fine-tune your operation.
3) Wholesale Dry Cleaning Arrangement -
We establish a relationship with a professional dry cleaning plant in
your area to do your cleaning on a wholesale basis. We negotiate for
you.
4) Central Purchasing Operation - You
have access to our central purchasing operation and assistance with
buying all necessary 'start-up' supplies. You save money on supplies
because of our group purchasing power.
5) Protected Territory - You will
receive a protected territory. We will not license another Pressed4Time
franchise in your territory.
6) Professional Image - You get a
professional image with a complete package of professionally designed
marketing materials and camera ready art. We have shirts, sweaters,
name tags, hats and even umbrellas with the Pressed4Time logo proudly
displayed.
7) Ongoing Marketing Support - Ongoing
support includes public relations campaigns in your local market.
Telemarketing, broadcast fax and e-mail programs for your territory.
We'll answer your questions via our TOLL-FREE HOTLINE, and our Intranet
will let you communicate with other franchisees throughout the country.
Service businesses that offer a helping hand to busy consumers are
increasing at twice the rate of product oriented businesses.
Pressed4Time early on tapped into this lucrative and mature industry,
known for its steady, repeat business, and added a new twist for
today's personal service market.
In the last two decades, dry cleaning sales have increased over 50%.
Each year, over 400 million garments (or 3 billion pounds of clothing)
are cleaned at an estimated $5.3 billion in sales.
Many franchises require a major investment in time before you can reap
any rewards. In fact, research shows 82% of franchise owners found they
had to work more hours than they anticipated.
A Pressed4Time franchise will provide you with a low-stress, normal
5-Day work week. Combine that with Pressed4Time's excellent income
potential, and you'll not only find the money for an enjoyable life,
but the time to enjoy it. An important advantage not many businesses
offer.
The convenience of the Pressed4Time service makes your customers' lives
better at an affordable cost. They look forward to seeing you which
contributes, in turn, to a very pleasant work experience for you. You
work beyond the confining environment of an office or facility for the
freedom of movement most of us prefer.
Once you are a Pressed4Time Franchise Owner and your business is up and
running, we will continue to provide on-going assistance.
