STEVENS POINT — Longtime dry cleaning and laundry service Hanson’s Classic Cleaners is once again locally owned.
For nearly eight years, the cleaners utilized outside sources for their services, including cleaners from Wausau and Appleton. However, Classic Cleaners in Wausau cut ties with Hanson’s, leaving the door wide open for an opportunity for the now fully locally owned cleaning business.
“We weren’t quite getting the results that we used to get back in the ol’ days of Dun-Rite cleaners.” said owner Ron Hanson. “On January 2nd, I went back to all of the old formulas that our customers are used to.”
Hanson’s remains in the same location they have been in since 1984. The business was closed for two-and-a-half weeks to make the transition from partners in production to being a solely-run operation. However, rumors of the Wausau move spread, leaving some to believe that Hanson’s closed up shop for good.
“We’ve tried to call as many people as we could, and we’ve some some success with that, and have gotten a lot of our customers back.” said Hanson.
Hanson’s Classic Cleaners is located at 1008 Union St.
