The Oldest Dry Cleaning Franchise in the U.S. Continues
to Expand in One of Ohio's Fastest-Growing Markets
MARYSVILLE, Ohio. (January 9, 2025) -- Martinizing® Cleaners, the longest-operating dry cleaning franchise in
the U.S. and part of Clean Brands™, LLC, is announcing the opening of its
newest location in the Greater Columbus metropolitan area, Martinizing Cleaners of Marysville. Beginning on Saturday, January
11th, the company will serve residents of Marysville and the surrounding towns
of Union County.
The company is owned and operated by the husband and wife duo of Kathy
and Eric Rohrs, two high school sweethearts who met while attending Marysville
High School and never strayed far from their hometown. With many friends and
family still living nearby, Kathy and Eric decided to join the dry cleaning and
laundry industry in order to provide their community with a service in great
need.
Located at 128 Emmaus Road in Marysville, Kathy, Eric, and their staff
will provide Union County with internationally recognized dry cleaning and
laundry services, as well as pick-up and delivery services that can transport
items directly to and from their clients' doorsteps. The Rohrs family and their
staff are happy to help from 8 AM - 6 PM during the week and from 8 AM - 4 PM
on Saturdays.
Since their days as MHS students, Eric and Kathy have remained very
involved in the Marysville community. Kathy is still an active volunteer in the
Marysville school district and received the 2019 Good Apple Award for her
consistent dedication to Marysville's students. She and Eric are both members
of the Cornerstone Global Methodist Church, where they assist with youth
ministry and worship leadership.
Eric's professional career has largely been in the software industry,
where he has held multiple advisory and managerial roles since graduating from
nearby Ohio University. His experience overseeing complex systems and
developing business teams will complement Kathy's compassionate, hands-on
leadership style to provide Union County with a friendly, knowledgeable garment
care solution.
"Our mission is to provide a valuable service to our hometown community,
while also fostering a friendly environment and meeting every need with a smile
on our faces," said Kathy. "The most exciting part of the dry cleaning and
laundry industry to us is the people. This is a business that allows us to
interact with so many members of our community and provide them with a service
that makes their lives easier, which is truly fulfilling to Eric and I."
Martinizing Cleaners has spent over 75 years as the "Leader in Dry
Cleaning." The brand's business model prioritizes convenience without
sacrificing professionalism. With a 24/7 dropbox and twice-weekly pickup and
delivery routes, Union County residents have unrestricted access to a wide
array of garment services. These services include but are not limited to dry
cleaning, shirt laundry, alterations, wash & fold, bulk laundry, leather
cleaning, wedding gown cleaning, wedding gown preservation and comforter cleaning.
In addition to a superior product and service, Martinizing Cleaners
locations utilize 100% environmentally non-toxic cleaning solutions and
processes, specifically GreenEarth® Cleaning. Using GreenEarth's solutions and
the latest technology in equipment, Martinizing Cleaners is one of the few dry
cleaners able to claim there is no hazardous waste in their process. Their
environmentally friendly cleaning process has no odor and is gentler on
clothes, thus lengthening the life of clothes.
"We're incredibly grateful to still live in the community where we were
raised, alongside our parents and many of our friends and family," said Eric.
"To be able to provide our neighbors with an essential service is a blessing to
us. We can't wait to do our part when it comes to bettering this community."
