He will lead a major expansion in B2B dry cleaning and laundry services and route-based pickup/delivery throughout southern Nevada, including oversight of national accounts with West Coast or Las Vegas operations.
“We’re very pleased to welcome Ricky to the Al Phillips team at this pivotal inflection point,” said Nick Gausling, chief operating and fiancial officer for the company. “His deep expertise in route-based laundry and drycleaning, paired with strong local market knowledge and a determined focus on customer satisfaction, make him the ideal leader to expand both our pickup and delivery services and our business account portfolio.”
“My mission is to make premium garment care services accessible and seamless,” said Salazar. “Joining Las Vegas’ most iconic drycleaner allows me to scale effortless pickup and delivery options and world-class quality to more homes, offices, hotels, and other enterprises across the region.”
After several years of operational modernization and streamlining, the company is now positioned for its next phase of growth. Expanding the business account portfolio and pickup/delivery routes, both spearheaded by Salazar, are a top priority for 2026 and sit at the center of the company’s overall commercial strategy.
