LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. — Zengeler Cleaners, a seven-store operation based in Libertyville, Ill., is celebrating its sesquicentennial next month, and is calling on its loyal customers to share their memories of the last 150 years.
Founded in 1857 by John Zengeler as New York Steam Dye Works in downtown Chicago, the operation grew to become one of the Midwest’s largest under his great-grandson Bob Zengeler and great-great-grandson Tom Zengeler. Many members of the fifth generation are part of the operation today.
