Martinizing Cleaners recently opened a newly renovated location in Aurora, CO. The business is owned by drycleaning veteran Brad Ambridge, who has more than 20 years in the Martinizing network.
The new Aurora location becomes Ambridge’s third store. It is a full plant, building on its existing footprint of one plant and one satellite location.
“Our goal with this expansion wasn’t simply to add another location, but to grow more intelligently,” Ambridge said. “Aurora and Parker are seeing steady residential growth along with a return to office work, and we wanted to be ahead of that curve by offering convenient, modern drycleaning services that fit today’s lifestyles.”
The new storefront was acquired through the brand’s Clean Exit program, which provides existing, unaffiliated drycleaning and laundromat owners with an exit strategy. After acquiring existing companies, Clean Brands makes upgrades, including Martinizing Cleaners branding, delivery vehicles, signage and updating systems and technology, along with improving lighting, flooring and other cosmetic enhancements.
“Brad is exactly the kind of operator the Clean Exit program was built for,” says Joseph Hebeka, vice president of franchise redevelopment for Clean Brands. “He’s a seasoned drycleaner who already had a strong team and proven systems in place, which made this transition incredibly smooth. Because of that foundation, Brad was able to seamlessly transition into this new phase of his business.”
“Martinizing has always aligned with my values around professionalism, efficiency and long-term planning,” Ambridge said. “This expansion allows us to serve more customers, support our teams, and bring modern, reliable garment care to communities that are clearly on the rise.”
