US Dry Cleaning paid $792,932 in an all-cash purchase transaction. The combined revenue of the stores is in excess of US$7.8m annually.

Robbie Lee, chairman of US Dry Cleaning, said: “Tuchman’s, as the dominant drycleaning chain in Indianapolis, is an example of the type of well-managed chain we target. “

US Dry Cleaning plans to look for additional locations for Tuchman stores to further service its growing customer base in Indiana.
