Staffing Professional and Committed Philanthropist Joins Martinizing Cleaners to Help Support Her New Community
MANKATO, Minn. (June 26, 2026) -- Martinizing® Cleaners, the longest-operating garment care franchise in the U.S. and part of Clean Brands™, LLC, is announcing the opening of its newest location in Southern Minnesota, Martinizing Cleaners of Mankato. Beginning on June 20th, the business will open its doors to Mankato residents.
The company is owned and operated by Stephanie Miller, a Michigan native who moved to Mankato just last year and already wants to make her presence known in her new community by providing compassionate service in a much-needed industry.
Located at 921 Madison Ave in Mankato, Miller and her professionally trained staff will provide nearby residents with internationally recognized dry cleaning and laundry services, as well as pick-up and delivery services that can transport items directly to and from their clients' doorsteps. They are happy to help from 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM during the week, and from 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM on Saturdays.
Before moving to Mankato, Miller spent most of her career working for large Michigan-based staffing companies, where she learned the intricacies of recruitment, retention, and business management. Despite her success, however, she still yearned for a more community-oriented second career. She already routinely gave back through her involvement with nonprofit organizations such as the Women's Resource Center and United Way, but still, she wanted her everyday role to revolve around service.
"Philanthropy has always been incredibly important to me, as I believe it's our duty to give back to the places we call home," said Miller. "Since moving to Minnesota, my neighborhood has welcomed me with open arms, and I want to do my part to repay that generosity through service. Joining the Martinizing network and being able to provide a service that puts valuable time back into people's daily lives seemed like the perfect solution."
Martinizing Cleaners has spent over 75 years as the "Leader in Dry Cleaning." The brand's business model prioritizes convenience without sacrificing professionalism. With a 24/7 dropbox and weekly pickup and delivery routes, Mankato residents will have unrestricted access to a wide array of garment services. These services include but are not limited to dry cleaning, shirt laundry, alterations, wash & fold, bulk laundry, leather cleaning, wedding gown cleaning, wedding gown preservation and comforter cleaning.
In addition to a superior product and service, Martinizing Cleaners locations utilize 100% environmentally non-toxic cleaning solutions and processes, specifically GreenEarth® Cleaning. Using GreenEarth's solutions and the latest technology in equipment, Martinizing Cleaners is one of the few dry cleaners able to claim there is no hazardous waste in their process. Their environmentally friendly cleaning process has no odor and is scientifically proven to be gentler on clothes.
"I'm so excited to put my business acumen to use in a new, worthwhile career," said Miller. "Mankato is full of good people who deserve the best, and I want to be the person to provide that."
