Suffolk County Dry Cleaner & Tailor | $400K Sales | $200K Net | 20-Year Lease

Opportunity to acquire an established and highly profitable garment care, tailoring, and shoe repair business in Suffolk County, Long Island, with a loyal repeat customer base, modern equipment, strong recent growth, and exceptional long-term lease security.

The business generated approximately $400,000 in sales in 2025 with approximately $200,000 in net income, while revenue increased approximately 15% compared with 2024. The operation has continued to build its customer base while maintaining an efficient operating model and diversified service offering.

A major advantage of the business is its 20 year lease, providing a new owner with unusually strong long-term occupancy stability and the ability to invest in growing the operation without facing a near-term lease expiration.

The current owner works approximately 25–30 hours per week, while experienced employees handle much of the day-to-day workflow. This provides flexibility for a buyer seeking an owner-operated business while also offering a foundation from which a qualified buyer could potentially develop a more semi-absentee management structure.

Operations

The business utilizes a modern Dexter professional wet-cleaning system, allowing garments to be professionally cleaned without relying on a traditional perc-based dry-cleaning process.

In addition to garment cleaning, the business offers tailoring, alterations, and shoe repair, allowing customers to utilize one location for multiple garment-care needs while providing the business with diversified sources of revenue.

The existing equipment and operational infrastructure are already in place, allowing a buyer to take over an established operation without having to build a garment-care business from the ground up.

Experienced staff are expected to remain following a sale, and the seller is willing to provide training and transition assistance to help maintain continuity with customers and employees.

Growth Opportunities

Despite its existing profitability and recent sales growth, there are several opportunities for a new owner to further expand the business:

• Introduce pickup and delivery service
• Develop recurring residential pickup and delivery routes
• Pursue commercial cleaning accounts
• Target restaurants, medical offices, hospitality businesses, salons, offices, and uniform accounts
• Expand tailoring and alteration services
• Increase local digital and social-media marketing
• Develop customer loyalty and referral programs
• Establish partnerships with nearby businesses and residential communities
• Expand the range of specialty garment-care services
• Evaluate additional cleaning systems or capabilities where economically appropriate

The combination of approximately $400,000 in annual sales, $200,000 in net income, recent year-over-year growth, diversified services, modern equipment, experienced staff, and a 20-year lease makes this an established operation with both current profitability and additional avenues for expansion
