An Erlanger-based dry cleaner will become a Tide Cleaner after it was acquired by one of the brand’s largest franchise groups.
Widmer’s Cleaners, located at 3074 Dixie Hwy, was purchased by Consolidated Cleaners, a Tide Cleaners franchise operator. Although the store is rebranding and renovating, all current staff have been retained, and the company is actively recruiting for additional roles.
“This transition is about more than just a new sign on the door; it’s about bringing the best possible garment care to northern Kentucky,” Tide Cleaners Regional Director Dave Howard said in a news release. “We are making investments with our equipment and our pickup and delivery capabilities, but our biggest asset remains our staff. We’re modernizing the customer experience, but the friendly face who knows your name isn’t going anywhere.”
The renovations will incorporate an open lobby concept, upfront pricing, and modern, high-efficiency machinery to handle increased volume and faster turnaround times.
Customers at the location will have access to the Tide Cleaners mobile app, which allows them to schedule home pickup and delivery, track orders in real time, and join the Tide Rewards program for exclusive coupons and savings. In addition, Northern Kentuckians will begin seeing new Tide delivery vans in the area.
Tide Services is a subsidiary of Cincinnati-based Procter & Gamble. Its Tide Cleaners and Tide Laundromat brands operate more than 220 stores combined.
