> Consider the rash of subsidized “we’ll pick up your dry cleaning and then save by doing the work at a centralized facility elsewhere).

Is that not the default business model of dry cleaners globally?

Chemicals like PERC are nearly completely banned in residential/commercial zones. Almost all dry cleaning in the developed world is done in centralised depots in industrial areas, for health & safety reasons.



No, most dry cleaners use more friendly chemicals locally, and only send out things like leather goods. Otherwise, how would they be able to do sub 8-hour turn arounds?
