What Is Mulberrys Garment Care?

Mulberrys Garment Care is a franchise in the Other Services category offering premium, toxin-free dry cleaning, laundry, garment and fabric care, repair and alteration services. It operates a brick-and-mortar model with two facility types: Plant Facilities with on‑premises processing (typically 3,000–3,500 sq ft) and Drop Facilities for customer drop‑off/pick‑up (typically 1,300–1,500 sq ft) where processing occurs at a separate plant. The business is marketed to the general public (B2C), and its core service bundle centers on same-day, flat-priced garment and fabric care delivered through standardized physical plants and processing equipment (subject to EPA standards), supported by proprietary business management software.

Mulberrys Garment Care Franchise: Pros and Cons

With a low $15,000 franchise fee (bottom 10%) and a spotless legal record with zero disclosed lawsuits or penalties, this franchise leaves more cash for opening costs; however, the Item 7 minimum of $761,700 (well above typical) and reported assets of $381,700–$506,500 mean substantially higher upfront capital needs and likely additional financing.

Pros

At $15,000, the initial franchise fee is well below typical across franchise systems (bottom 10%), leaving you with more cash on hand for the build-out and opening phase.

Zero disclosed lawsuits, government penalties, franchisor enforcement actions, or franchisee-initiated judgments/settlements (well below typical) - a clean legal and regulatory record that reduces legal distraction for operators.

Item 7 reserves are $0 (both min and max), well below typical, which lowers the short-term cash cushion you'll need and simplifies early cash-flow planning.

Cons

The Item 7 total minimum of $761,700 (well above typical), with Item 7 assets reported between $381,700 and $506,500 (both well above typical), means opening this business will require substantially more upfront capital than most peers and will likely increase your financing needs.

Company-owned units: 0 (well below typical) - the franchisor operates no corporate locations, which limits their ability to field-test changes and stay directly connected to day-to-day operational realities.

The maximum training cost of $30,000 is well above typical, adding another notable line to your upfront investment requirements.
