  • With a Plant Franchise, you must purchase an existing dry cleaning and laundry plant which will be converted into your Plant Franchise and will serve as your Franchised Location.
  • The average provided above is based upon historical data collected from and reported by Martinizing franchisees regarding purchases of dry cleaning and laundry plants in 2018.

3.  Machinery and Equipment:  $0 to $15,000

  • It is assumed that the dry cleaning and laundry plant you purchase will include the Standard Machinery and Equipment, but if it does not, you will need to purchase such machinery and equipment as may be necessary to operate the Franchised Business.

4.  Basic Operating Supplies:  $2,300

  • This fee includes the cost for dry cleaning related supplies that you will need to operate a Plant Store Franchised Business including, by way of example only, hangers, collar supports, drop-off/pick-up bags, etc.

5.  Initial Package Fee:  $7,500 to $21,000

  • You must purchase an Initial Package that includes the Initial Package Items.

6.  Site Selection Fee:  $500 to $2,000

  • The term Shipping and Taxes includes shipping, freight, insurance, taxes, tariffs, customs, duties, and other expenses incurred for the shipment of any Initial Package Items included in the Initial Package as well as all applicable taxes assessable on such items.

8.  Equipment Installation, Training, and Temporary Storage:  $0 to $1,200

  • Typical equipment installation costs relate to setting the equipment in place; connection of water, steam, and air lines; and the costs of services of a licensed electrician who may be needed to connect wiring of equipment.

9.  Security and Utility Deposits and Business Licenses:  $0 to $5,000

  • If the purchase of your dry cleaning and laundry plant for your Plant Franchise did not include retail store space, you will need to lease enough space for a Martinizing Store that is able to adequately offer and support all of the Martinizing Services, including providing ample storage space.
  • You will also need to secure all necessary utilities and business related licenses to operate the Franchised Location.
  • The typical Martinizing Store with on-site dry cleaning and laundry utilizes approximately 1,700 square feet to 3,500 square feet, and rent is estimated to be between $20 and $30 per square foot, or $40,000 and $60,000 per year, depending on the size, condition, and location of the leased premises and the demand for the premises among prospective lessees.
  • The range listed above assumes that the security deposit, on the high end, would be the equivalent to one month’s rent at $30 per square foot (or $60,000/12). The low end assumes your purchase of the dry cleaning and laundry plant included the lease or ownership of a store location to serve as the Franchised Location and/or that these fees are part of your purchase, through your negotiations or otherwise.

14.  Travel, Lodging, Expense, and Salary, if any, of Persons Attending Martinizing Training Program:  $500 to $3,000

  • If you are obtaining an Initial Franchise, Martinizing will provide the Martinizing Training Program to two persons as part of the Initial Package and the Martinizing Training Program is mandatory for the Managing Person and the Store Manager, if a Store Manager is employed by the franchisee.
