A Wonderful Discovery: Grandview Cleaners

I have tried all the dry cleaners in the Tri-Village area. Trust me. Even given second chances as I just don't like to spend my time running around changing service providers. I also have this penchant for using coupons to save money when/if prudent to do so.

Located at 1445 Grandview Avenue (next door to Trattoria Roma, across from St. Christopher's church) you will discover the business established by Mr. Blackburn's parents in 1954. He and his wife have been the proprietors for many years now. They are so friendly, the kind of folks who have worked hard in their community and you feel good supporting them. And there is a loading zone directly in front -- no parking meter to feed!!!

I found my way to them about four months ago. The cleaners I was using was one of mere convenience. Minutes from the house but nothing special. When a coupon caught my eye, I decided 'why not?'. Even though their locale is not as close it is still in an area I patronize doing errands and shopping.

Image my initial, and very pleasant, surprise when I was asked, "When would you like this?" not "It will be ready ...... ". Their prices are wonderful, so far every garment, coverlet, etc, have been well taken care of, and all stains/spots clearly removed. Please give them a try. And tell them "Julie sent you". HA!!
