Has anyone considered buying mom-and-pop dry cleaning businesses in the same market to roll up and scale a new brand? Seems like there are always a bunch for sale with relatively low barrier to entry and this could be a great way to scale quickly.

Right now they are typically run by the owners. You’re going to add overhead by putting managers in charge and still try to make a profit. The only way that works is if you buy enough of them to raise prices or save money on shared advertising or perhaps a shared pick-up service.
The pollution liability is high too.
