Taken in 1980, this is an aerial view or our main store looking North.
The front counter of the cleaners is still located in the plant (same location). In 1995, we purchased the Wendy's next door, razed it, and built our current front counter and offices.
Highland Cleaners was founded in 1944 with one pledge in mind:
“To provide the highest quality dry cleaning along with the personal service that discriminating Louisvillians want and deserve.”
It’s a pledge we have never forgotten. Over the years, we’ve seen many changes in dry cleaning. Technology and new chemicals have made it possible to clean clothes faster. But when it comes to maintaining your fine garments, faster isn't better. That's why we have firmly resisted any changes that provide only speed while sacrificing quality and our status as a green cleaner.
We use modern techniques where it benefits your clothes. But, we still do many things the old fashioned way—by hand. Because, in the long run, it's the best way. And the greenest, too.
