Looks like somebody's getting a new ironing board and iron for Christmas !!!

Thanks Obama

There just aren’t enough people who need dry cleaning services anymore. The majority of professionals mostly wear wash-and-wear business casual. The exception being attorneys and the legislature.

We had too many melted buttons and pressed-in wrinkles to make having shirts pressed there worth it. Add in rude employees and we stopped using Kolbs long before they closed the location near us. Hated that, because we'd gotten good service for years.

The ones that physically go into an office these days have phased out the business dress code and are much more casual. Even attorneys!

Wash and wear is getting more and more popular every day.

Hate to see any company go out of business. Its been around for so long. 1 year shy of 100 years. That is incredible.

Is number 29 for Vandy not wearing a helmet?

I heard that the buyer is taking them to the cleaners.

Thanks Biden.

At Kolb’s Grand Cleaners, your clothes will have a ball! Old Kolb’s add…dang I’m getting old.

Not as necessary any longer for men. Women don’t spend as much as they used to cleaning not just clothes but household items. Add higher labor and dwindling people….and not easy work and you get stores closing. Hate to see them go but I get it.

I remember taking mine to the Fondren location. There was a sweet young lady in there that was a big Saints fan. Her name escapes me, but always nice. They are a Jackson institution.

@2:37 I think that's Diego Pavia

@2:54 Dry cleaning was slowly dying before Trump's Covid shutdown had us all working from home. I went from having my dress shirts laundered & starched one/month to 3-4 times/year. Apparently, I wasn't the only one. My local dry cleaner almost went out of business. He had to sell out to a larger company. What was previously a full cleaning operation is now just a pick-up/drop-off facility for one of the few cleaners left in the area. I hate it for him, but I don't miss going to the office every day.

Maybe they can’t compete running their own equipment. My cleaner in Madison said only 2 places actually dry clean and those 2 places are used by most of the local dry cleaners. Like everything else we’ve turned brick and mortars into disposable middle men.
