I was finally in need of dropping off my winter sweaters and decided to hit up this spot I passed on several occasions. I recall early on that it was once operated by someone else, but thought nothing of it. When I pulled into the drive-thru service I happened to be wearing my HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) alumni paraphernalia while my daughter sat next to me in the passenger seat scrolling away on her phone. That's when--who I didn't know at the time was the new Black owner, stated that he put two kids through my alma mater. Excitedly I told him that I was proud to say that my daughter,
alongside me, would also be attending my alma mater in the fall. He went on to say he attended another HBCU in Louisiana, to which I then stated, my two older children and husband attended two other HBCUs. All of the HBCU talk while learning there was a now Black Owned professional dry cleaning service in the area, took me back to the days of my childhood--watching The Jefferson's and being best friends with a classmate whose family owned one of the premier Black owned and operated professional dry cleaning services in Orlando, at the time.
He introduced himself as the newest owner and told me he has been getting the word out to the other business establishments in the shopping area; that he would be adding some important features to the business as far as services go (pick up, drop off, home delivery). They already offered tech-friendly payment options (hello, Apple Pay). I assured him that he now had a customer for good and that I would tell as many as I could via my social media platform, while also letting my close family and friends know exactly where to take their things for cleaning services. I have been very pleased with the quality, timeliness and pricing of things I like to have regularly professionally cleaned. They are always friendly and greet me as if they appreciate seeing me and having my repeat business.
