WINTER PARK, Fla. — In this leafy suburb overlooking Lake Osceola northeast of Orlando, OXXO Care Cleaners® opens its newest store, this one at 1907 Aloma Ave., the firm notes.

ℹ

Franchisee owner Reny Balsa says: “Orlando reflects OXXO’s ‘anything is possible’ mindset, combining innovation and technology with a modern service that people today really need.

“Our Orlando customers love the unique combination of services offered — 24/7 ATM pickup/drop-off, boutique-style setting, mobile payment app, use of GreenEarth®, and on-premises hand-ironing.

“People truly like the company’s luxury drycleaning experience, and we’re very excited about the opening of its fourth Orlando store,” says Balsa.

This garment cleaning franchise founded on what it calls the “We Care” philosophy, announces its latest expansion initiative here in the Orlando area.

The company has, it describes, “sparked attention and interest,” and points out it is, “a perfect fit for green-minded Orlando.”

“Ever since Mayor Dyer launched GreenWorks in Orlando, the thriving Florida city has become a magnet for progressive, ecologically-minded business practices,” says Salomon Mishaan, CEO of the firm.

“Our goal in Orlando is twofold: to offer business conversion support to traditional dry cleaners, and to sell more drop stores to potential franchisees that see the increased need for our services among the Orlando population,” Mishaan adds.

OXXO Set To Clean Up Orlando with Convenience and Green Practices

The pioneering “experiential dry cleaning” franchise drives drop store and business conversion trend across Orlando

April 30, 2019. Orlando, FL – OXXO Care Cleaners® , the most innovative, environmentally friendly garment cleaning franchise founded on the “We Care” philosophy, today announced its latest expansion initiative in Orlando, FL. Fueled by market demand for premium services enhanced with 24/7 availability, OXXO’s recent growth in Orlando to four stores (Winter Park opened most recently at 190 Aloma Ave.) has sparked attention and interest for the automated OXXO business model, a perfect fit for green-minded Orlando.

“Ever since Mayor Dyer launched GreenWorks in Orlando, the thriving Florida city has become a magnet for progressive, ecologically-minded business practices. Our goal in Orlando is twofold: to offer business conversion support to traditional dry cleaners, and to sell more drop stores to potential franchisees that see the increased need for our services among the Orlando population,” said Salomon Mishaan, CEO of OXXO Care Cleaners®.

Converting Toxic to Safe & Clean

OXXO Care Cleaners® is bringing its innovative, GreenEarth® technologies to traditional dry cleaners in Orlando through its new Business Conversion Initiative. OXXO outfits all its operations with GreenEarth® technologies, a novel approach to dry cleaning that uses odorless, colorless, environmentally benign liquid silicone (that degrades into little more than sand and water) rather than conventional, toxic petrochemical solvents. OXXO stores can be built from scratch with the latest equipment, or older dry cleaners can be retrofitted and converted over to new technologies.

OXXO’s Business Conversion Initiative helps traditional dry cleaners replace their contaminating chemicals, old-fashioned steam boilers, steam presses, and other outdated dry-cleaning equipment used by most American dry cleaners today with OXXO’s automated, fully electric equipment, such as the OXXO European Style Shirt Mannequin and ATM-style Drop Off and Pick Up Conveyor. Technology: Storefronts and branding are completely revamped during the conversion process.

“During each conversion, everything old fashioned is gutted out and replaced with the same equipment a new franchise unit would have,” says OXXO CEO Salomon Mishaan. “Having converted some stores in South Florida, our experience has shown, stores can remain open throughout the process there for not losing customers. After converted, we’ve seen these stores grow their revenues and customer base as word of mouth gets out about OXXO quality, convenience and ecofriendly system.

As OXXO locations continue to sprout and spread, the franchise is becoming a model for how traditional industries can embrace the needs of 21st century living. To this end, OXXO is offering drop store sales to potential franchisees. Drop stores are supported by plant stores and can service just about any individual or business.

A host of hotels (Orlando attracts more than over 72 million tourists annually) are now participating in OXXO on-site services, allowing clients to receive OXXO dry cleaning via concierge assistance. With Orlando being home to countless condominiums and numerous universities, OXXO has arrived at just the right time. Customers can also use OXXO’s APP to schedule front door clothing pick up and drop off.

“OXXO Orlando customers love our unique combination of services,” says Mishaan. “We provide a total luxury dry cleaning experience, and we’re very excited about the opening of more drop stores and supporting conversions in Orlando. Areas experiencing economic transformation alongside thriving population growth and rising environmental awareness are going to find OXXO is exactly what they need,” he added.

OXXO Care Cleaners Brings First ATM Dry Cleaner to Connecticut

~ Oxxo Care Cleaners ~ Leave a comment

Eco-friendly, Innovative Franchise To Break Tradition at Quarry Walk

— OXXO Care Cleaners®, the leading environmentally-friendly garment cleaning franchise, announced today that it will be opening its newest store at 334 Center Rock Green in Oxford, CT, in early April 2019. This location stands in the stylish, progressive Quarry Walk neighborhood, a 32-acre mixed-use development in the heart of Oxford. Oxford entrepreneur Dennis Cardona will operate the OXXO franchise location

“Connecticut is a great market,” says Dennis Cardona, Store Owner. “Quarry Walk was serious about ensuring they had the correct cleaners for the development, seeking one with ideals that reflect those of Haynes Development. Once we showed them that we aren’t a “dry cleaners” but we are a “Care Cleaners,” it made all the difference.  They loved our 100 % Eco-friendly GreenEarth® silicone cleaning process combined with our state of the art equipment  (100% harmless to clothing), and the first and only 24/7 ATM style machine in Connecticut. Customers can pick up their clothing whenever convenient to their own schedule not ours.”

OXXO’s new store front located at 300 Oxford Rd in Quarry Walk, Oxford, CT

With 18 years of experience in operating a service-based business in Oxford, Cardona felt that a top-notch dry-cleaning business would be a perfect fit in for Quarry Walk’s shopping district. The question became which franchise to pursue. Cardona studied the field closely and soon discovered that OXXO stood out from all competitors. A handful of key factors attracted him:

  • Open, Modern and Clean Boutique Style Setting

  • No industrial steam boiler, as in traditional dry cleaners

  • Emphasis on automation throughout the service cycle

  • Eco-friendly, sustainable processes

  • 24 x 7 ATM-style drop-off and Pick Up.

  • Hand finishing all garments

  • Strong commitment to product quality and customer satisfaction via OXXO’s We Care Philosophy and Commitment

Cardona’s choice makes OXXO the only dry cleaner in Connecticut to offer 24-hour, ATM-style drop-off and pick-up capability – a doubly powerful feature when paired with OXXO’s hand ironing and open, boutique-style setting.

 OXXO’s Innovative Technology for Shirts

Looking Forward

According to Cardona, Quarry Walk developer Thomas Haynes was enthusiastic about bringing the first ecological dry cleaner to Oxford – and specifically to Quarry Walk, which Haynes sees as the new cultural nexus of his community. In particular, Haynes wants Quarry Walk to be welcoming for youth and millennials, which means appealing to their environmentally-minded priorities.

Connecticut is currently putting in the hard work of transitioning from old paradigms into new. The State, including Oxford, is coming to grips with its contaminated water issues. (OXXO’s adoption of GreenEarth can play a role here, as GreenEarth is a non-volatile liquid silicone that breaks down into inert sand, water, and carbon dioxide if released to the environment.) The town is adopting new oil treatment options to help improve fuel efficiency. Perhaps most impressively, Quarry Walk uses resource-efficient building materials and deployed roughly 300KW of photovoltaic solar cells on top of multiple Quarry Walk buildings.

OXXO’s Automation Technology

Moreover, OXXO updates the appeal of its relatively old industry to younger users through its use of convenience and technology. The on-site ATM drop-off and pick up technology is one approach. OXXO customers are able to order and track services through the tap of an app. Home pick-up and delivery are also available, but the future may bring real-time, Uber-style route driver tracking so that clothes need not be left unattended and at risk.

OXXO CEO Salomon Mishaan notes, “Towns like Oxford have a need for the sort of convenience, quality service, and caring philosophy that OXXO brings into their communities. As we continue to expand and add locations across the South and Eastern seaboard, we’re going to keep finding these opportunities in places where people are ready to find a more compelling, forward-thinking way of tending to their dry-cleaning needs.”

OXXO Care Cleaners® Rolls Out Franchise Business Conversion Program

~ Oxxo Care Cleaners ~ Leave a comment

OXXO Care Cleaners® is bringing its innovative, GreenEarth® technologies to traditional mom and pop dry cleaners across the U.S. through their new Business Conversion Initiative. Conversions involve the replacement of contaminating chemicals, old-fashioned steam boilers, steam presses, and other outdated dry-cleaning equipment used by most American dry cleaners today with OXXO’s automated, fully electric equipment, such as the OXXO European Style Shirt Mannequin and ATM-style Drop Off and Pick Up Conveyor. Technology, storefronts and branding are completely revamped during the conversion process.

“Today, we announce OXXO’s support to improve dry cleaners and the environment in all of the communities in which we operate and in new communities throughout the country. During each process, everything old fashioned is gutted out and replaced with the same equipment a new franchise unit would have. Traditional store owners appreciate the benefits of OXXO’s 24/7-services coupled with the use of GreenEarth® products, innovative technologies, fully independent electric and automated equipment, European-style hand ironing quality for their customers,” said Salomon Mishaan, CEO of the OXXO Franchise.

One franchisee spearheaded the program by successfully converting his fourth Plant store into an OXXO. He is now currently finishing off the plant conversion in Doral, Florida. “During the conversion, the goal is to maintain the original customer base, and, in this case, we have actually grown the customer base because clients are seeing the change for the better take place. Stores can remain open throughout the process. Our goal is to convert cleaners across the country with a concentration in the Northeast, Central Florida, Texas, and Georgia. If a potential owner is in a region where there are no OXXO’s yet, we will build a plant to support it in their area, which is one of our program’s many incentives,” explains Mishaan.

OXXO Care Cleaners Makes Its Mark in New Jersey for Innovative & Eco-Friendly Dry Cleaning

~ Oxxo Care Cleaners ~ Leave a comment


Fair Lawn and Short Hills, NJ, September 17, 2018— OXXO Care Cleaners® has paved the way for innovation as the first environmentally friendly garment cleaning franchise in the New Jersey metropolis to combine the use of GreenEarth® solvents on all dry clean garments, Top Terra ecological detergent for laundered garments,  hand ironing and 24/7 ATM-style service. New Jersey residents have recently shown an increasing interest in environmentally friendly practices. In fact, 65% of donations to Environment New Jersey, a citizen-based environmental advocacy project, were from citizens of New Jersey themselves. Today, OXXO announces the growth of its Fairlawn and Short Hills stores resulting from demand for OXXO’s 24/7-services coupled with the use of GreenEarth® products, innovative technologies, fully independent electric and automated equipment, and hand ironing for a detailed and beautiful look and comfortable feel.

Fair Lawn 8-1.jpg

OXXO’s ATM-Style Pick Up and Drop Off brings total convenience to Fair Lawn, New Jersey customers.

“OXXO was founded with our “WE CARE” philosophy and commitment and we apply it to every aspect of our business. We care for our customer’s health, appearance, garments, the community, the environment and our employees,” said Salomon Mishaan, CEO of OXXO Care Cleaners.

Traditional dry cleaners in the U.S. have not innovated their process for at least 50 years. Most still work with antiquated equipment like steam presses originally built for the garment industry and they burn the customer’s garments. They also work with Perchloroethylene, a very contaminating chemical that leaves a stench and fades the colors. “At OXXO, we work with fully electric and automated equipment and the safest cleaning solvent. Instead of using the industry standard method of steam pressing, all OXXO Care Cleaners® garments are hand-ironed to provide a detailed and beautiful look and comfortable feel. Traditional steam pressing uses fossil fuel powered industrial steam boilers and it actually shortens the lifespan of customers’ garments. In addition, all garments are automatically sorted to avoid mistakes in the delivery or losing garments. This avoids extra handling, where garments can fall off of hangers and get wrinkled,” added Mishaan.

Traditional cleaners are taking notice.  “We are actually in the process of converting a mom and pop dry cleaner to an OXXO Care Cleaners in New Jersey. Customers in New Jersey have truly embraced our modern and efficient dry cleaning service and we are excited to continue to grow here,” said Mishaan.

OXXO’s 24/7 service gives flexibility to customers with busy schedules. Many of OXXO’s New Jersey customers regularly use Fairlawn and Short Hills’ excellent pick-up and delivery services. OXXO’s Mobile App is popular among customers, which gives up-to-date information on the status of their orders. Terry K. Springfield said, “The cleaning is prompt and reliable. It’s ready when they say it will be. I’ve never had an issue with a missing garment.”

OXXO’s equipment is fully electric and automated, lending to its reputation as the country’s most innovative dry cleaner.

Salomon Mishaan, CEO of OXXO said, “We are thrilled with the results of our New Jersey stores. We encourage anyone interested in becoming a successful business owner to reach out directly to us. We can then refer them to OXXO franchisees who will provide a first-hand testimonial of the simplicity of our process and the assistance we offer to our network to make the franchise opening experience seamless.”

Since launching the franchise in 2002, OXXO Care Cleaners® has expanded to 60 locations worldwide with a strong presence throughout the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States and Indonesia.

OXXO Care Cleaners® has been awarding single and multi-unit opportunities in states across the Southeast, and Gulf and East Coast, including Texas, Georgia, New York, New Jersey and North Carolina, Boston, Chicago, Colorado, and abroad in South America and Indonesia.

OXXO Blooms as Orlando Booms

~ Oxxo Care Cleaners ~ Leave a comment

Orlando, FL, June 19, 2018— OXXO Care Cleaners®, the most innovative, environmentally friendly garment cleaning franchise founded on the “We Care” philosophy, announced today that it is expanding operations in Orlando, FL. OXXO will be opening a new store at 190 Aloma in Winter Park, FL 32792.

Orlando Franchisee Reny Balsa, a food industry professional from Venezuela, knows how to cater to consumers who need fast, friendly, and convenient service. In Venezuela, Reny’s family owns the food company that services Grupo Polar’s cafeterias. “When I decided to come to the U.S., I identified Orlando as the perfect city in which to live and own a business, because it truly reflects the American Dream – from Disney, where all dreams come true,to the city’s fast-growing STEM [science, technology, engineering, and math] sector. Orlando reflects the ‘anything is possible’ mindset, combining innovation and technology with a modern service that people today really need.”

OXXO Orlando customers love the unique combination of services offered—24/7 ATM pick up/drop off, boutique-style setting, mobile payment app, use of GreenEarth, and on-premises hand ironing. “People truly like the OXXO luxury dry cleaning experience, and we’re very excited about the opening of OXXO’s fourth Orlando store,” says Balsa.

OXXO’s Orlando-area expansion comes amid the metro area’s booming growth and popularity. For the last four years, Orlando has undergone a profound economic transformation, from its airport expansion to the luxury residential boom downtown. Companies like Amazon and Siemens have made Orlando their home. In the medical sector, there has been vast innovation at the VA Medical Center and Nemours Children’s Hospital. In education, UCF recently opened its medical school in Lake Nona. And in sports, the USTA just opened a massive tennis school and complex that brings together the country’s best players. Orlando City will open and become home to the Lake Nona soccer team.

Forbes recently planted the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metroplex at #4 on its “America’s Fastest-Growing Cities 2018” list. Forbes further confirms that Orlando leads the U.S.in STEM growth. OXXO’s next-generation, tech-driven approach to dry cleaning fits perfectly here.

OXXO is the only dry cleaner in Orlando that offers operational transparency, speed, quality, and ATM-style convenience. All Orlando stores have same-day laundering available when ordered before 2:00 PM, or the next day if made after 2:00. Dry cleaning is available at plant stores and via drop stores.

Guillermo Gallegos, owner of the OXXO Clermont store, brings business experience from the manufacturing and industrial sectors. He most recently owned a Home Depot-style store in Venezuela. OXXO Clermont serves Orlando’s Northwest region, specifically Windermere Dr, Phillips, Occoe, Winter Garden, Oakland, Minneola and Clermont.  Guillermo states that this region has shown great demand for OXXO’s pick-up and delivery services as a result of the growing presence of corporations and condo associations.

OXXO CEO Salomon Mishaanconcluded: “We are confident that the personalized service and experienceoffered at our Orlando locations will continue to drive loyalty for our brand throughout the region. We thank Orlando residents for truly embracing OXXO.”

Juan Lara and Beatriz Figueira own two OXXO stores in South Florida, covering the territory of Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter and now Abacoa. The family started the business after years in the service and customer care industry. “Transparency is key for us- and OXXO was ideal. From the “ATM” style stores to the “open store” concept, we wanted to make sure our customers could see everything from drop off to pick up,” said Beatriz.

“In the two years that we have owned our OXXO stores, we have experienced growth almost every month,” added Juan. The owners decided to open the new location because of they are experienced at serving Palm Beach’s customer profile. This particular area in Palm Beach gets a lot of versatile traffic such as people traveling north to Palm Beach, residents, and snowbirds.

Beatriz and Juan’s close family members Jesus Duran and Nora Lara own another OXXO store located at 11081 Southern Boulevard, Suite 140, Royal Palm Beach, 331411. Jesus and Nora cover the Royal Palm Beach, West Palm Beach and Wellington area for OXXO and are confident that their family-oriented service is what brings customers to OXXO for their dry-cleaning needs. “We always greet our customers with a smile and want them to have the most convenient service in the industry. OXXO’s 24-hour Drop Off & Pick Up makes it easy both to collect clothing and to pick up soon as possible after dropping off.

Aside from all the perks that Duran’s customers receive by choosing OXXO, OXXO has also launched an app to make the experience even better. “Right now people have an OXXO card to pick up their clothes, but we recently launched an app that allows people to pay, schedule their pick up times, and much more,” says Duran.

Palm Beach residents love the fast and friendly service from Monday through Saturday and the option to either pick up or get their dry cleaning delivered. Snowbirds love the delivery feature because unlike Fort Lauderdale and Miami residents who are always out and about, Palm Beach residents are more inclined to the option of home delivery.

New high-tech dry cleaners to open in Winter Park, more locations planned

~ Oxxo Care Cleaners ~ Leave a comment

South Florida-based dry cleaning firm OXXO Care Cleaners is expanding its presence in Central Florida with a new Winter Park location and plans to add at least two more locations in the next couple years, according to Orlando co-franchisee Consuelo Regueiro.

What sets OXXO apart from other dry cleaners in the area is their locations use Green Earth cleaning products. These products are gentler on clothes and safer for the user, according to the company.

While using green products, OXXO strives to be technologically savvy. The company uses ATM-style pick up and drop off machines. These devices make it possible for customers to pick up and drop off clothing after store hours.

Along with the machines, OXXO is one of the only dry cleaners with its own application in the App Store. The app, OXXO Care Cleaners, allows customers to request a pick-up time, drop off items and check which items they currently have at the cleaners, among other things.

OXXO has been in the Central Florida area for three years now, opening its first area location in 2015. The company’s other three Central Florida stores are in Lake Nona, Clermont and Orlando on Orange Blossom Trail.

Regueiro believes expanding to Winter Park is perfect for this business because the area is predominantly wealthy.

“People truly like the OXXO luxury dry cleaning experience, and we’re very excited about the opening of OXXO’s fourth Orlando store,” Orlando co-franchisee Reny Balsa said in a prepared statement.

The new 900-square-foot Winter Park location is at 190 Aloma Ave. The company has signed a 10-year lease and expects to open for business there Aug. 30.The new Winter Park location cost $250,000 to open and is expected to generate approximately $100,000 in sales its first year. Between all four Central Florida locations the company will exceed $600,000 in sales, said Regueiro.

The price for a dress shirt to be cleaned at OXXO is slightly higher than other cleaners in the area, ringing up at $2.95. Regueiro told the Orlando Business Journal while it may cost more, it’s well worth it because of the convenience and technological component. “People think all cleaners are the same, but they aren’t.”

Before opening a chain of dry cleaners, Regueiro operated a cookie factory in Venezuela. Regueiro chose to leave her old job after her friends told her about their new business, OXXO. Regueiro was fascinated by the technology behind the company and how the business used green products.

Going forward, Regueiro told the Orlando Business Journal she hopes to continue to grow her business and open two more locations. Currently she is looking at downtown Orlando and the Dr. Philips area as possible future locations for OXXO.
