Dry cleaner with DFW locations embraces eco-friendly practices

Thanks to the green cleaning movement, North Texans can now find a variety of eco-friendly laundry detergents in local stores. But did you know that DFW is home several eco-friendly dry cleaning businesses as well?

OXXO Care Cleaners is a dry cleaners with locations in Frisco and Plano that touts its eco-conscious methods. The company’s primary green selling point is it uses GreenEarth, a gentle cleansing solvent, designed to care for garments but not endanger the environment, your clothes or you.

Translation: no harsh chemicals and no harsh odors.

Cutting edge technology at the Plano location.

The dry cleaning company was founded in Hollywood, Florida in 2000 by Salomon Mishaan, who grew up in Colombia before coming to the United States.

Today, there are 50 locations in the U.S., including the two local franchises in DFW.

Locally, OXXO Care Cleaners opened in Frisco in 2009 and then in Plano in 2015.

“We were looking to get into the dry-cleaning business, and in so doing, we generally witnessed very low-quality service and lack of environmental friendliness,” said Marisol Cereijo, owner of the Frisco franchise. “When we learned about OXXO Care Cleaners and their innovative and environmentally friendly system, we immediately knew that OXXO was the answer.”

The GreenEarth Cleaning process uses liquid silicone in place of petrochemicals Cereijo explained.

“Essentially liquified sand, silicone is nonhazardous and nontoxic to the environment. When released to the environment, it safely breaks down into the three natural elements it is made from: sand (SiO2) and trace amounts of water and carbon dioxide. Which means it is safe for the air, water and soil.”

In short, that means the GreenEarth product is so safe that if you wanted to, you could rub it safely on your skin. In fact, you probably already do according to Cereijo.

“Liquid silicone is the base ingredient in many every day shampoos, conditioners and lotions.”

So now that you know what is used in the GreenEarth, you might be asking what has been cut out? That would be perchloroethylene, certainly a word you won’t hear uttered at OXXO Cleaners. The chemical solvent typically used in dry cleaning has been shown to have health risks, according to the EPA.

GreenEarth has also been endorsed by numerous dry cleaners around the country, but Cereijo said OXXO is the only cleaner that combines GreenEarth cleaning, with hand ironing on premises and a 24-hour ATM style pick up and drop off system. This is accomplished by creating an online account. The company’s retrieval system is automated, allowing customers to pick up their clothes any time of the day, any day of the week.

A kiosk near the OXXO entrance allows 24-hour drop-off and pick up service.

Cereijo says her company also strives to keep the business eco-friendly in other ways like using bags that are biodegradable and designed to disintegrate within two years. Hangers are recycled.

In addition, all of OXXO’s equipment is electric, so there is no need for industrial steam, and the temperature is kept at a cool 72 degrees. This removes the “sweatshop” atmosphere of most cleaners, according to the company’s website.

“Because we do not use a boiler room, we use less energy,” Cereijo added.

This year, the OXXO Care Cleaners franchise also plans to open its first fully automated unmanned dry-cleaning facility allowing customers to drop off and pick up cleaning and laundry 24/7 with no attendant.

“OXXO Care Cleaners offers not only great quality service for our customers, but also environmental friendliness and a great and safe work atmosphere for our employees,” Cereijo said.

OXXO® Care Cleaners in the Top 500 franchises in 2018

Two stores in Makassar make eight total in this country for franchise

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.

OXXO Care Cleaners ® Redefines Green Dry Cleaning in Texas

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.

Patience Pays

Sometimes, one technology must wait for others to develop. Salomon Mishaan founded OXXO Care Cleaners more than 15 years ago with new, innovative ideas about dry cleaning. Not only did he want to make the process greener, he also thought that the 24-hour drop-off and pickup doors he’d seen in Europe would make sense in the U.S. They were a hit-the first such to be avail­able at dry cleaning franchises-but not until Skyping and mobile apps became available could he offer his customers a communication method that matched the convenience of the 24-hour doors.

To complete his customer service vision, Mishaan stuck with the same developer that had produced his point­of-sale software. The resulting app al­lows customers to use their phones to retrieve their clothing and receive notices tracking the status of their garments throughout the cleaning process. The app also allows OXXO to send custom­ers coupons and for customers to share their comments online.

The app is still in its beta phase, but Mishaan knows customers are happy to trade their OXXO card for a smartphone app. And he’s not finished innovating. For example, drones could make deliver­ies-OXXO drones, he jokes. But maybe it’s not so wild an idea. “When we talked about the 24-hour door all those years ago, people said, ‘Wow,”‘ he recalls. Now they’re in all 50 of OXXO’s stores.

OXXO Care Cleaners Launches Valentine’s Day “Community Care” Campaign For South Florida

OXXO continues its efforts to do good in 2017 both inside and out of stores

Hollywood, FL, February 8th, 2017— During good times and times of fragility, OXXO Care Cleaners® remains faithful to its philosophy of helping the community, sharing and caring that has characterized the franchise since its foundation. This month, OXXO launches its “Care Campaign 2017” in anticipation of Valentine’s Day, to benefit the Pantry of Broward.

“OXXO’s desire to do good for the communities in which it operates stems back to its foundation. In 2016, several OXXO stores were involved in unique corporate social responsibility projects, including a Sidewalk Sale benefiting Tomorrow’s Rainbow Organization, a clothing Donation campaign for Women in Distress of Broward County, a 5K benefiting United Nations Women, and a Toy Drive to Kids in Distress (KID). We also sponsored a Concert in our neighborhood and all proceeds went to Hollywood C.A.R.E.S for Haiti.” said Salomon Mishaan, Founder and CEO.

In addition to OXXO’s renowned innovative and environmental business strategy within the cleaning industry, the company carries out “Care Campaigns” for the local communities in which it operates regularly in an effort to give back, and will continue to do so throughout 2017.

OXXO will “Spread the Love” in February with a Peanut Butter Jelly Drive benefiting The Pantry of Broward. This pantry is a local food bank that serves senior citizens on low fixed incomes and grandparents raising their grandchildren. One of the staple items in the 55-pound box of food that clients receive each month is peanut butter & jelly. Since this is also one of the more expensive items provided, the Pantry is in constant need of ensuring there are enough of these for each box.

Through February 28, 2017, each OXXO customer that brings one jar of peanut butter and another of jelly will receive a 10% discount on their next dry cleaning order. OXXO hopes to collect 500 jars of peanut butter and 500 of jelly to deliver to the Pantry during the first week of March.

“My philosophy upon founding the OXXO brand has always been about caring for others. I believe this is the only way to do business. When customers take their clothes to other dry-cleaners that use strong chemicals to clean their clothes, they inhale toxic substances even after the garments are ready. How can that be? We don’t work with traditional industrial steam boilers; we work with independent electric equipment (rather than diesel fuels). We also employ automation (all the clothes get sorted automatically; it requires less space and it’s better for our franchisees.) Customers can pick up their clothes 24 hours a day through an ATM machine that is connected to our main conveyer. We believe in making life safe and easy for our customers and this is how we care. This effort is reflected in our community campaigns as well,” concluded Mishaan.
