"After many years of working for someone else in sales and in advertising I felt it was time to take control of my own future and open a business that would benefit me and my family.

When the time arrived I decided I wanted a business that had low up front costs and virtually no inventory to carry. The Lapel's Dry Cleaning concept was one that appealed immediately to me. From my first conversations with Larry Friedman to this day I have always been impressed with his knowledge of the industry and his dedication to the success of each franchisee. The entire corporate staff including Laura Hurley and Michael Eisner share the same level of knowledge and passion.

No matter how often I contact the staff at Lapel's corporate offices, or how minor the question might be they immediately respond and answer my question or guide me thru the process needed to solve my problem. I am happy that I joined the Lapel's Family and am looking forward to the level of success I know that with their help can be achieved. I would wholeheartedly recommend a lapel's Franchise opportunity to anyone I know who's looking for a career change and hands on support from the Franchise company."

"I have been working with the Lapels® Franchise Program for many years. It's been a pleasure. I enjoy serving everyone I encounter to the best of my ability. I feel that our success is the number of people we serve, and how well we serve them."

"Our experience with lapels has been great from the start. We were very surprised with Lapels assistance, support, and training. We had no prior experience with dry cleaning, after spending some time with them, it convinced us to go forward with Lapels Franchise. Being in business for over six months, we have already earned our franchise money back. My wife and I are planning to open our second store since our first store has been such a success."

"I bought an environmentally friendly plant from Lapels franchising. Getting a plant built from the ground up was a very complicated and challenging process. The people at Lapels helped me every step of the way and the CEO even made several trips to my site to meet with installers and equipment manufacturers. Now that I am up and running I am getting new customers every day and like the job I am doing for my customers."
