Mulberrys Garment Care®
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
A major strength is the unusually low $15,000 franchise entry fee, which leaves more cash available for build-out and initial expenses, but a key risk is the very high Item 7 asset estimates—$409,700 to $541,500—meaning substantial equipment and infrastructure costs and larger upfront capital or financing needs.
Pros
Cons
Lawsuits & Legal Risk
The franchise reported no material legal proceedings.
Territory Protection
Grants a protected operating area where the franchisor will not place other physical units. The franchisor retains rights to sell via e‑commerce and alternative channels, use different trademarks and venues, acquire and convert franchise locations, and develop nearby units; protection is contingent on performance contingencies and the franchisee may relocate.
Training & Support
Mulberrys Garment Care provides a robust 120-hour training curriculum designed to prepare two initial staff members for launch. The program includes on-site launch support focused on operational readiness; travel and lodging expenses are the responsibility of the franchisee, and certain on-site services carry additional fees.
Unit Growth Analysis
This franchise was flat from 2023 to 2024 (14 units → 14 units, 0% growth) but contracted to 12 units in 2025, a loss of 2 units and a -14.3% year‑over‑year decline. For investors that shift from stability to a -14.3% decline signals emerging health risks (attrition, closures or franchisee turnover); the abrupt change from 0% to -14.3% growth warrants targeted due diligence into causes and prospects for recovery.
