The Pressed in Time franchise with its roots in South Africa has recently launched a flagship store and head office in the United Kingdom. The company’s laundry and dry-cleaning franchise is stated to provide a successful formula for new business owners, including advanced equipment and a hands-on training approach.
The enterprise itself began in 2003, has grown to over 80 stores in South Africa over the past three years and is still growing. This success and existing contacts in the UK inspired CEO Kenny MacKinnon and his management team to expand to this country. The process of ‘setting up shop’ in the UK actually started one year ago and has now materialized in the new opening.
With a customer base of several hundred garment care professionals in the UK and abroad, SPOT by Xplor – Enterprise Software – and TexID – cutting edge laundry and finishing equipment – were also involved in the company’s new UK project.
