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.

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.

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.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — OXXO Care Cleaners® has opened two new multi-unit stores in Indonesia as part of its continued international expansion, it reports.

“Following two years of market development in Asia, we opened two additional OXXO stores in Makassar, the largest city in eastern Indonesia,” says Salomon Mishaan, founder and CEO.

“These are the next two stores of a total of eight now sold by Henry Soesanto, our Indonesia franchise developer,” Mishaan indicates.

The firm’s growth in Indonesia began in 2014 in Surabaya, it writes, the second largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta. Three centrally located stores were converted from traditional dry cleaners using perc into its branded stores.

Eighteen months later, in January 2015, the company opened the first store in Jakarta, the first franchised-unit outside Surabaya.

The fifth store for this Florida-based franchise opened on May 2015 in Sidoarjo, the suburb area of Surabaya. This was followed by the launch of a drop-store in Surabaya, it notes.

“Our foremost recognition in Indonesia has been that people see the dangers of perc and that OXXO offers a healthy alternative,” says Soesanto, the Indonesia franchise developer. “The firm’s quality convenience and ecological solution has been met with open arms,” he relates.

Having sold 50 franchise stores to date, the company writes, “Mishaan has developed a winning strategy,” now aimed at global multi-unit franchisees.

“The service and quality we offer our customers has a global reach,” Mishaan says.

The company describes itself as: The environmentally-friendly garment cleaning franchise that was first to use Greenearth® solvents while offering 24/7 ATM-style service in a European boutique setting.

“We are proud of the brand we have built and continue to enhance our offering with regular updates to our clean technology. Global multi-unit sales are the logical natural next step to our growth roadmap,” Mishaan adds.

Frisco, TX, February 13, 2018— OXXO Care Cleaners®, the environmentally friendly garment cleaning franchise that operates nationwide and was first to use Greenearth® solvents while offering 24/7 ATM-style service in a European boutique setting, announced  today the ten year anniversary of its Frisco location and business growth at both its Frisco and Plano, TX-based stores.

“Marisol and Francesco Cardiello were very successful restauranteurs in Venezuela, owning several family service businesses. They contributed these qualities to the Texas market when opening an OXXO in Frisco. Their success over the last decade led to the opening of an OXXO in Plano. Thanks to the market attraction to both of these stores, we were able to open an OXXO in Houston in 2017 and call Texas home,” said Salomon Mishaan, Franchisor.

“Frisco is one of the fastest growing cities in Texas, and Plano is booming. Both are creating a lot of jobs and infrastructure development. With new households showing up every day, they need places to live, a road to drive their cars on, schools, and yes, modern dry cleaners. We are proud to be job creators in Frisco and Plano and hope to expand very soon. Clients at both our stores have been increasingly using the 24/7 ATM style door, the OXXO Care Card and recognizing our efforts to protect the environment,” said Marisol Cardiello, OXXO’s Frisco and Plano store owner. “Our clients in this market are very demanding and our goal has always been to exceed their expectations,” she added.

OXXO is already the only green cleaning franchise in the area to combine hand ironing on site and in front of the customer, 24/7 pick-up and drop-off, the use of a dermatologic and eco-friendly cleaning solvent called “GreenEarth®,” instead of the commonly used chemical perc (Perclorethelyne) a carcinogenic which is unhealthy for both human skin and garments, and independently heated equipment allowing for the air-conditioned boutique style concept imported from Europe.

OXXO’s Frisco (5110 Eldorado Parkway), Plano (2208 Dallas Pkwy, #317) and Houston (1275 Eldridge Pkwy) locations are experiencing fast payback with strategic locations in shopping malls with easy parking access, where OXXO is welcome, but hold certain resistance to traditional cleaners due to the volatility of the boilers and to strong chemical odors and contamination.

OXXO’s Frisco (5110 Eldorado Parkway) is experiencing fast payback with strategic locations in shopping malls with easy parking access.

There are two types of franchises: those that unite high quality with notable added value and those that break tradition and revolutionize the market. OXXO® Care Cleaners has set new standards in Texas, and is now seeking further expansion throughout the State.

From a functional perspective, each store can clean up to 700 garments in twelve hours with just seven employees, including the manager on duty. The shop’s internal system is computerized and automated. This combination of planning and technology leads to savings in space, time and money and drastically reduces the possibility for human error.   

OXXO operates in a fully transparent environment where all of our work, including hand ironing on premises,
is done in front of the customers.

OXXO in Texas continues to have an impeccable and wrinkle-free brand.  “Entrepreneur” magazine just ranked OXXO® once again among the top five hundred best new franchises in the United States.

OXXO is a CARE Cleaner because of our “WE CARE” philosophy and commitment.
