The Dallas site houses Electrolux machines ­– 40 washers and 42 dryers  – with AutoDose system to automatically dispense the correct amount of detergent and softener for each load of laundry. P&G brands Tide, Gain, Downy are delivered directly to the washing machines.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on 8 August with the East Dallas Chamber of Commerce, and the franchise owner-operator Patrick Elverum was on hand to introduce guests to this innovative, community-focused laundry experience alongside Tide Services CEO Andrew Gibson, and the Tide corporate team.

This event marked the start of Tide Laundromat’s commitment to providing exceptional laundry services to the Dallas community.

“Dallas is our home, and opening our Tide Laundromat in Whiterock Marketplace reflects our commitment to the community,” said Elverum. “We’re redefining laundry as an enjoyable and convenient experience. Visit us and see how we turn a routine task into something you’ll actually look forward to.”
