Mr Jeff Rolls Out Its 1st Laundry Hub in NYC

Clean Rite store hosts tech-based pickup/delivery service’s U.S. debut

QUEENS, N.Y. — International laundry service franchise Mr Jeff has opened its first U.S. flagship hub inside an existing Clean Rite location here on Jamaica Avenue in Queens.

Mr Jeff — which says it has “modernized the tedious task of laundry” in more than 30 countries — provides customers with a new 24-hour express same-day wash and fold service and seamless home pickup and delivery mobile app-based services.

Existing self-service Clean Rite customers now have the option to drop off their dirty laundry and pick it up when it’s clean and folded, or, they can choose not to leave their homes at all by using the simple app-enabled pickup and delivery service.

The opening of the flagship Mr Jeff hub comes on the heels of the May announcement that Mr Jeff had entered into a partnership with Clean Rite stores to operate inside select laundromats. The Clean Rite laundry service superstore chain has developed more than 200 locations across North America, in mainly densely populated, urban areas, Mr Jeff says.

The Queens store will be the first of four Clean Rites to launch tech-based Mr Jeff, greatly enhancing the convenience of laundry services for customers, says Peter Stern, the newly appointed managing director of Mr Jeff’s U.S. market and managing director of Clean Ventures, which invested in Mr Jeff.

“The laundry industry here in the United States was long overdue for innovation,” says Stern. “Through integration with our existing technology platform Cents, Mr Jeff will provide Clean Rite customers with additional conveniences, including delivery and pickup services through the Mr Jeff app; wet cleaning and dry cleaning; ironing; pressing; and Mr Jeff monthly membership options.”
