MW Cleaners in Houston, TX ~ February 8-10, 2017

The Tuchman Advisory Group held an informative and very successful meeting in Houston, TX where we visited numerous MW Cleaners locations. The Clean Closet, their new 24/7 locker-based concept dry store and the Gleannlock package plant, a 3600 square foot facility with multiple drive through lanes. The newly designed state-of-the-art Tuckerton plant was built so that every detail of interior design and equipment was specifically constructed to match the MW Cleaners corporate colors. A glass window behind the front counter was constructed so customers can view the entire dry cleaning process in action. The Central Plant is a 24,000 square foot facility doing production for 10 locations and 10 routes. Our last stop was the Memories Wedding Gown cleans and preserves 90,000 gowns annually.

In addition, each T.A.G. member gave a presentation to update everyone on their individual company. Other topics addressed during the meeting included; a critique of the MW Cleaners operations, financial comparisons, and 2017 goal setting. Many of our members stayed the weekend, experiencing a relaxing day of fishing and clay shooting.
