As the world's largest dry-cleaning franchise, ONE HOUR MARTINIZING is the most recognized name in the industry. The franchise was established in 1949 and has over 800 franchises in 17 countries. ONE HOUR MARTINIZING features a dry cleaning operating system which is relatively simple to run and does not require prior experience. It is a desirable business due to a repeat need for the service and the fact that it is a cash product with a nonperishable product. ONE HOUR MARTINIZING is an ideal opportunity for either an investor or an active operator. Initial franchise support includes: assistance in site selection, comprehensive classroom, as well as on-site, training and equipment and supplies. On-going support offers advertising and marketing consultation, materials, ideas and products, as well as technical and operations assistance. In addition, franchisees are encouraged to participate in franchise owners' meetings and conventions. ONE HOUR MARTINIZING is a network of franchise owners working together for their mutual benefit. Franchisees consult not only with ONE HOUR MARTINIZING headquarters, but with the Franchise Advisory Council and each other for back-up and support. -1
