About The Owner

I'm Grant Carson, and I own two franchise locations—one in Alameda, CA, and the other in Danville, CA. My roots trace back to Pinole, CA, my hometown.

My journey as a franchise owner began in 1986, driven by a strong motivation for dry cleaning—a business that, for me, ticked all the right boxes. It offered scalability, stability, and a multitude of facets that made every day in the industry an exciting and dynamic one. My early experience working part-time in a dry cleaner during high school laid the groundwork for this endeavor.

The choice of locations for my franchises was influenced by my deep affection for the communities they serve. The people in Alameda and Danville are nothing short of amazing, and the vibrant community vibe is truly something special.

Throughout the years, I've had the privilege of interacting with a diverse range of customers, including professional athletes from the Oakland A's, Oakland Raiders, and Golden State Warriors. However, some of my most cherished interactions have been with the dedicated Police and Fire personnel we serve. While our business has evolved into a predominantly delivery-oriented model in recent years, we miss the personal connections we used to have.

Reflecting on milestones and proud moments, I take immense pride in my 37-year journey as part of Martinizing. In 2024, our Alameda location will celebrate its 35th year of operation. Three of our staff members are set to mark their 25th year with Martinizing in 2024, a testament to their dedication. Moreover, our accomplishments, such as being voted "Best of Alameda" for eight consecutive years and earning "Best of the East Bay" honors five times for our Danville location, are especially meaningful as they are a reflection of the trust and appreciation of our customers.

It's this support and recognition from our valued customers that I hold dearest, making me most proud of these achievements.

Some Feedback From
Our Customers

Their service is top notch! Really first class! From answering all my questions when first calling to sorting out and receiving my delivery they really did great! They’re very communicative via text, which is super helpful, and Liz was on it. She figured things out with my order and made it happen! Plus they pick up and deliver! My thanks to the whole Martinizing team for a job well done! I’ll definitely use their services again!

Garland Thompson

Very quick, friendly staff. Get it in by noon, and they can have it done same day. My 9x9 quilt cost around $47 to have cleaned, and they packed it up nicely in a zippered plastic tote. All the noticeably dirty spots are clean, and smells fresh. Got a text when it was ready and chose to pick it up in person, but they also apparently offer delivery. I’ve never had anything dry cleaned before for comparison, but I’d rate this as a pleasant and painless experience.

Jen R

Nice and friendly staff. The main store front is very clean. They provided a very quick turnaround. I dropped off my suit on Sunday morning, and was told that it will be ready by Tuesday. I received a text from them on Monday, letting me know it was ready for pickup.

I Taylor my own clothes, but sometimes you need help and they are great they know what they’re doing. Sometimes you need help that’s why I’m giving them five star.

Masy Cabiles

Brought in a 50 year old Sierra Designs jacket that was dirty. Staff said they would do what they could but "no guarantees." My expectations were that the jacket would at least be sanitary, but when I picked it up it looked great--all the soil and stains were removed. I am very happy to have the jacket back and wearable.

Grant Ute

I am writing this review specifically for the seamstress, Veronica. She is the in house tailor and let me tell you, she does FINE WORK! She listens, is careful, understands, and gives great tips and recommendations on what will look best. I once needed my pants taken in from losing weight and she just made magic happen. I didn’t have to say a peep. She has done probably 20 items for me over the last few years and I only trust her with my stuff! Sadly I am relocating next month and will make sure I come back to see that she caters to all my tailoring needs in the future! Even if it means an airplane ride! Not only does she do great work, her demeanor is one that is hard to find in the Bay Area. She has become part of my week as well as the rest of the team at Martinizing. The team at Martinizing Alameda is always friendly and helpful when I come in. They are often very busy and still find a way to remember me and my account without me saying anything. It’s the little things that Veronica and the employees at this location do that make all the difference. I am thankful I’ve found them and if you need work done look no further!

Paul Van Ess

The last time I saw such high quality dry cleaning was back in the 1980's when my corporate American parents got their business clothes cleaned there. Definitely one of kind service for this area. I am a very happy customer and plan to work with them going forward. Thank you.

Brandon Smith

Service was pleasant and quick. Dropped off suit and it was ready a day early. People are very friendly. They use text to communicate which is very handy. 👍
