Dry Cleaning Business With Real Estate In Houston

Business Overview:

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established dry cleaning business with its underlying real estate, located in a highly desirable central Houston area.

Founded in 2009, the business has operated continuously under the same name and at the same location for over 16 years. Through its long-standing presence and convenient location, the business has developed a consistent local customer base. 

The owner has invested approximately $600,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E), along with an additional $200,000 in leasehold improvements. The facility is equipped with high-capacity, eco-friendly systems, including advanced hydrocarbon cleaning machines and modern pressing equipment. The front-of-house has been updated with a streamlined point-of-sale (POS) system and customer-focused design, supporting both operational efficiency and enhanced client experience.

The business also offers significant scalability. Its existing infrastructure is capable of increasing production by up to 200 percent without requiring additional capital investment, providing a clear pathway for growth.

In 2025, the business generated revenue of $307,849. As the seller also owns the property and does not charge rent to the business, the cash flow is $131,150. When adjusted to reflect a market-rate rent expense of $172,030, Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) are $(40,879).

The property is situated in a prime location near downtown Houston, within the Museum District. It is surrounded by a dense mix of residential neighborhoods, businesses, and institutions, and is just minutes from the Texas Medical Center.

The site includes 16,606 square feet of land and a 5,485 square foot building. Of the total building area, 4,000 square feet is occupied by the dry cleaning business owned by the seller/landlord, while 1,485 square feet is leased to a franchise restaurant tenant under a lease extending through November 2028. Based on current market conditions, the property’s estimated annual net rent is approximately $180,096.

The owner is pursuing retirement and is offering the dry cleaning business for $300,000 and the real estate for $2,400,000, presenting an attractive opportunity for both owner-operators and investors. Buyers have the flexibility to acquire the business and the property together or separately.
