## Origin Story

Richard Verlare, a 2nd generation dry cleaner originally from Sheboygan, Wisconsin, founded Verlare Cleaners in 1961, opening his first plant in Franklin Park, Illinois.

After more than a decade of success there, he expanded to Elmhurst in 1974, starting out of a small house on York Road before eventually building a full-service dry cleaning facility at the current location on W. Vallette Street. More than 60 years later, the business remains a fixture in the Elmhurst community.
