Following his 42 years as president of Puritan Cleaners, Gary Glover announced his retirement. He took over leadership of Puritan Cleaners from his father, Ed Glover, in 1984. He represented the third generation to lead the family business, originally founded by his grandfather as Progressive Cleaners in 1937.
“I am extremely proud of the legacy of Puritan Cleaners, and of every member of our Puritan family. I am especially grateful for the important role that Puritan Cleaners plays in the Richmond, Virginia community, Glover noted.
Glover sold Puritan to an investment firm based in Richmond; he will remain an executive advisor. Operational leadership will continue with Norman Way, vice president, who has been instrumental to the company’s growth and success for 22 years.
“The entire team at Puritan Cleaners is happy for Gary and his wife Petra. We will keep building upon the hard work and devotion to community that began with the careful stewardship of Gary and his family.” Way said.
