The Cleaning Store is a professional garment care cleaning and finishing business which caters to the personal wardrobes of men, women and children. Forenta and your local Forenta Distributor have developed The Cleaning Store concept, combining the newest in technology and environmentally-friendly equipment along with professional training to get you started. We have included everything you need to be successful in a new business of your own!  Furthermore, "The Cleaning Store" is not a franchise.

"When we started the Champion Cleaners Franchise program we researched every dry cleaning equipment manufacturer in the world. We had a guideline that every manufacturer was graded on, and Forenta was far and above the leader in the industry.

Being a young and growing franchise company, Forenta's technical support and experience has been invaluable. Just knowing that with one phone call to Forenta we will gain from over 50 years of experience in the dry cleaning industry is extremely comforting."

To understand the tremendous growth the dry cleaning industry has enjoyed for the past 20 years, and the growth it will certainly experience in the years to come, consider these factors:

Personal garments today contain more natural fibers - wools, cottons, linens and silks. These fabrics require professional cleaning and finishing.

There are 50% more women in the workforce today, and this percentage continues to grow. Both men and women require the professional services of a garment cleaning store.

Today's hectic lifestyle dictates that we do not have time to clean and finish our garments at home.

The many varied materials, from natural fabrics to synthetics and everything in between, can all be treated safely by the professional dry cleaner, resulting in greater longevity of garments and better appearance.

A professional Cleaning Store can provide a nice income for the owner-operator or can be operated as an investment with absentee management It is also an ideal business for the entrepreneur who wishes to expand into a multiple store operation.

In short, there's never a shortage of dirty clothes. In fact, U.S. News & World Report has listed dry cleaning among 10 fields "where fortune beckons" As mentioned in the U.S. News & World Report article, "The American millionaire is more likely to resemble the local dry cleaner than a figure cast in Hollywood." The best part is that it's all up to you. You determine the level of your success, and the sky's the limit.

The professional dry cleaner is extremely diversified in services offered:

• Dry Cleaning and Wet Cleaning of Customers' Garments

• Wedding Gowns and Special Appliqué Garments

• Leather and Suede Cleaning

• Shirts and Laundry Service

• One Hour Service

• Drapery Cleaning

• Alterations

Today's modern cleaning store is efficient, with energy-saving and labor saving equipment designed to produce the finest results at minimal costs. And, of course, all equipment manufactured by Forenta for today's dry cleaning facilities meet all EPA and OSHA requirements.

"When Sandy and I decided to equip our new plant, we decided on Forenta. I have operated Forenta equipment since 1976 and in my opinion, Forenta created the standard for pneumatic finishing equipment. Forenta's (F) series presses have given us the ultimate in operation comfort and production quality.

When it comes to maintenance and repairs, the use of standardized parts and overall design, Forenta makes repairs as easy as changing a light bulb.

The outstanding warranty on all Forenta bucks and heads gives me an extra level of comfort when making equipment purchases.

Far above the rest, is the professional organization of Forenta. From sales representatives and technical representatives, to parts department employees, they all share the commitment to insure the total satisfaction of today's drycleaner.

With all the great support offered by Forenta, I have the time to give my customer the attention they deserve.

Forenta's commitment to the future, as well as the past, allows them to create finishing equipment that is not only reliable and easy to operate, it's affordable."
