Cary, NC and Naples, FL, May 16, 2023 -- Lapels Cleaners, an innovative, 100% sustainable garment care company headquartered in Naples, Florida, recently announced the opening of Lapels Cleaners of Cary, NC 1226 NW Maynard Road in Cary. The location had previously been Mee Cleaners. Jay Singh is the new owner of the dry cleaning plant and store.

“We are delighted to bring the Lapels Cleaners experience to Mee Cleaners customers and people who live and work in the greater Cary area,” said Singh. “At Lapels, we use a sustainable, non-toxic method for dry cleaning clothes. Subsequently, clothes feel better when you wear them and last longer.”

Singh, who owns and operates a skin care salon with his wife Karinda, has long wanted to bring a dry cleaning store to Cary to better serve the growing number of companies in the area—including such household names as SAAS, Google, Nike and others. Singh researched a number of opportunities before choosing Lapels. With its name brand and use of GreenEarth® cleaning process, he found Lapels Cleaners to be a great fit.

“With SAAS, Google, Nike and a number of other well known businesses opening offices in the area, we saw a real opportunity here,” said Singh. “The most compelling part was being able to convert an existing dry cleaner with an established customer base to Lapels Cleaners stores so we would have immediate cash flow and wouldn’t have to build a market from scratch.”

Added Singh, “Lapels also has a special way of doing things, both from our environmentally friendly way of cleaning clothes to customer service. It’s an experience that our customers will love.” said Singh.
