DRY CLEANING DELIVERY SERVICE
MOVES TO A FAMILIAR ADDRESS...YOURS

DATELINE: SUDBURY, MA, ISSUED JULY 17, 2000...
Pressed4Time, Mobile Dry Cleaning and More, the world's largest mobile dry cleaning, shoe repair, laundry and alteration pick-up and delivery service catering to people at their places of business, announces the expansion of its services into the residential market. Headquartered in Sudbury, MA, Pressed4Time operates franchises in 34 states, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

After 13 years of serving offices nationally and internationally, the well-established Pressed4Time has recently launched its services into the residential sector, providing mobile dry cleaning and related services directly to customer homes. Anticipating the challenge of competing with newer, recently established residential mobile dry cleaning competitors, the #1 Mobile Dry Cleaner Pressed4Time, is armed with experience and solid strategies.

AN OFFICE PROCEDURE THAT WORKS WELL AT HOME
The mobile dry cleaning procedures are similar to those the company uses in office settings. A convenient pick-up and delivery drop-spot is arranged with customers, and all items are transported in garment bags on a twice-weekly basis. Pressed4Time is a customer-focused company that strives to better accommodate consumers. By expanding into the residential market, dual income families and busy caregivers are granted the additional the leisure time previously enjoyed by office employees, as the company relieves them of mundane errands such as dry cleaning, shoe repair, alterations and laundry.

For years, large and small companies have been benefiting from Pressed4Time's service, which is offered as an "employee perk," at no cost to their company. Office pickup and delivery service has aided employers in boosting morale and increasing productivity. Pressed4Time's popularity is evidenced by their competitive advantage: quality customer service, affordable competitive pricing, convenient free pick-up and delivery, and guaranteed reliability and dependability.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL WITH LAUNDRY
As a community oriented and customer service focused company, some Pressed4Time franchisees will even donate 10% of a residential customer's total amount of dry cleaning to the local public school. Other customer service benefits include an educational website, which assists and informs customers with monthly newsletters, laundering questions and answers as well as tips ranging from fabric wear and tear, dye bleeding, and stains to the International Fabricare Institute (IFI) Care Symbols. In catering to franchise owners, the site contains an informative Pressed4Time Intranet, designed specifically for them.

"Due to the enormous success we have had serving the business sector, we have decided to enlarge our scope and expand into the residential market," said Kent Issenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Pressed4Time. He continued, "There is no better time than now. The most recent trend in business is versatility and flexibility; professionals are always on the go and are seen less frequently at the office. This creates a need for a more accessible drop spot, such as their home. Ultimately, we wish to make lives easier. From the telecommuter to busy parents and caregivers, virtually everywhere there are people seeking to reduce the amount of time spent running errands, and we are pleased to assist them."
