HISTORY
Everything we do is executed with a passion for caring
After spending his career owning and operating textile and plastic manufacturing companies, Salomon Mishaan (owner and President of OXXO Cleaners that Care) realized how the dry cleaning and laundry industry was lagging and saw an opportunity to explore and innovate the business in this domain.
-
Pilot Test
Using strong criteria to select potential franchisees, Salomon chose South Florida as the pilot region to launch the concept, as he felt that unlike other states such as California and Colorado, there was a lack of environmental awareness in this region. The harmful effects that Perc (perchloroethylene) and other harmful chemicals bring to clothing and to human health, are not an issue with OXXO Cleaners that Care®.
-
Wash & Fold
Instead of using the standard method of steam pressing, all your clothes are hand-ironed to provide a beautiful look and comfortable feel.
-
OXXO Lockers
OXXO offers quality and convenient pickup, cleaning and delivery services for all your laundry and dry cleaning needs.
