TL;DR
Mr Jeff, a tech-based laundry service franchise, opens its first U.S. flagship hub in Queens, New York, with a 24-hour express same-day wash and fold service and mobile app-based services. The company plans to open several new stores throughout 2021, including locations in Florida and Texas.
The addition of the Mr Jeff store to the Queens Clean Rite location will transform the usual dreary task of laundry into a painless, convenient process. Existing self-service Clean Rite customers will 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 & delivery service.
Mr Jeff will open several new stores throughout 2021: the second store in NY will be inaugurated in Flatlands, New York this August, and the first franchisees will start operating by mid-October in Florida and Texas.
The opening of the flagship Mr Jeff hub comes on the heels of an announcement in May, 2021 that Mr Jeff had entered into a partnership with Clean Rite stores to operate inside select Clean Rite laundromats. Clean Rite is a laundry service superstore chain which has developed more than 200 locations across North America, mainly densely populated, urban areas.
Peter Stern, the SVP of Clean Rite Centers and Managing Director of Clean Ventures, which invested in Mr Jeff, said the Queens, NY store will be the first of four Clean Rites to launch tech-based Mr Jeff, greatly enhancing the convenience of laundry services for customers.
“The laundry industry here in the United States was long overdue for innovation,” Stern said. “Through integration with our existing technology platform Cents, Mr Jeff will provide Clean Rite customers with additional conveniences, including delivery and pick up services through the Mr Jeff app, wet and dry cleaning, ironing, pressing and Mr Jeff monthly membership options.”
Mr Jeff, a home-delivery laundry franchise, is part of Jeff, a wellness services platform startup founded in Valencia, Spain in 2015 by three young entrepreneurs. With Mr Jeff hubs in 30+ countries, the goal is to provide The Good Good Life to its users and franchisees. Announcing its franchise opportunity in the United States earlier this year, Mr Jeff is specifically looking to partner with qualified franchisees in Arizona; Colorado; Florida; Kansas; Massachusetts; Missouri; New Hampshire; Nevada; New Jersey; Ohio; Oregon; Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee and Vermont.
