Lasalle Cleaners

What Lasalle Cleaners does

Lasalle Cleaners is a privately held, family-owned dry cleaning and laundry operator headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, founded in 1930 by Jack and Ida Resnick. The company operates five retail locations across the Toledo metropolitan area (Downtown, Sylvania/West Toledo, St. James Shoppes, Fifth Third Center, and Levis Commons in Perrysburg) and offers home and office pickup-and-delivery service marketed as Northwest Ohio's largest office P&D dry cleaning operation. The business is currently transitioning from third-generation owners Gary and Rachael Resnick to fourth-generation operators Nate, Brittaney, Sarah, and Tim Resnick.

The service portfolio spans dry cleaning (garments priced per item, e.g., blazer $6.97, suit $12.96), laundry (business shirts on hanger $2.85 / folded $3.05), shoe care (cleaning, shines, half/full soles), alterations (hemming, waist, zipper, sleeve work), and ancillary offerings (suede/leather care, household items, wedding gown cleaning, wash/dry/fold). Underlying technology is operational rather than digital: SYSTEMK4 earth-friendly cleaning solvents, modern cleaning machinery, and a proprietary tagless garment tracking system that eliminates paper tags, pins, and staples. Customer-facing technology is a third-party SaaS portal at account.mydrycleaner.com providing account signup, Express Bag delivery, and real-time status updates.

The business model is overwhelmingly transaction-based per-item pricing with a recurring monthly billing and auto-charge option for regular customers and corporate accounts. Go-to-market is multi-channel: five retail storefronts, scheduled pickup-and-delivery routes staffed by Route Service Representatives who service corporate offices, and a self-serve online account flow. Customer segments are split between individual consumers seeking convenience and corporate/business customers for whom Lasalle runs an employee garment pickup-and-delivery program with company-level billing coordination. No external institutional capital, subsidiaries, or M&A activity is disclosed.
