DATELINE: HANOVER, MA, KINGSTON, MA, MARSHFIELD, MA and COHASSET, MA…

Lapels Cleaners, an innovative, environmentally friendly dry cleaning company headquartered in Hanover, Massachusetts, recently announced Kimberly Wilkinson as the new owner of Lapels Cleaners of Hanover. Wilkinson took over the satellite store, located at 2117 Washington Street in Hanover, MA, on June 15.

Lapels Cleaners of Hanover represents the fourth location owned by Wilkinson. She’s also the owner of Lapels Cleaners of Marshfield, a dry cleaning store and plant at 776 Plain Street, Marshfield, Lapels Cleaners of Cohasset, a satellite store at 827 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, Cohasset, and Lapels Cleaners of Kingston, another satellite store located at 150 Summer Street in Kingston.

“For the past five years, it’s been a privilege to bring the world’s only 100 percent environmentally non-toxic cleaning process to the people of the lower South Shore. With our new location further north, we can bring it to even more people in towns like Hanover, Rockland and Norwell coupled with our free delivery service,” said Wilkinson, a Marshfield resident. “The true beauty of how Lapels cleans clothes is not only that it’s better for the environment but there’s no odor as you find with other dry cleaning processes. Clothes just look and feel better,”

Adds Wilkinson, “Given the backdrop of what’s going on in the country and world, getting your clothes clean takes on added importance. Having clothes professionally cleaned in a manner that doesn’t hurt the environment provides an added level of comfort.”

The acquisition of Lapels of Hanover represents the latest in a number of impressive accomplishments for Wilkinson. She first purchased Lapels Cleaners of Kingston and Lapels Cleaners of Marshfield in 2015. In 2017, Wilkinson was named Lapels Franchise Owner of the Year. Under her leadership, Lapels Cleaners of Cohasset has earned WickedLocal’sReaders Choice for Best Dry Cleaner on several occasions.

“Kimberly has been an incredible addition to our organization from day one. She’s a great example of how people who are teachable and have a positive attitude and work ethic can come into this business and succeed,” said Kevin Dubois, CEO of Lapels Cleaners. “We’re thankful to have her as the new owner of Lapels Cleaners of Hanover and look forward to the things she will accomplish.”

Lapels has pioneered its eco-friendly dry-cleaning experience over the past two decades. Lapels has a partnership agreement with GreenEarth®, the dry cleaning industry’s only non-toxic cleaning alternative for its newer locations.
