Recently on the verge of closing, the only dry-cleaning business in the City of Plattsburgh remains open under new owners.
Patrick Leary and Theresa Lautenschuetz acquired Phil's Dry Cleaning, located at 84 Montcalm Ave., earlier this summer. It was closed for a few months as the partners renovated and remodeled.
LONGTIME BUSINESS
Back in 1949, Phil Hubbard had acquired Imperial Dry Cleaners and renamed it Phil's Dry Cleaning. His son, Joe Hubbard, has worked there full time since 1973 and decided to retire earlier this year.
The partners said Joe continues to play a role as they learn the business. Hubbard was eager to help the new owners.
"I'm pleased to see it continue on," he said. "I think a lot of other people are just as pleased."
Phil's remains the last dry cleaning service in the city, although others offer pickup service for cleaning that is done out of town.
