CHICAGO — Drycleaning sales showed volatility in the third quarter, according to a survey panel of industry operators tapped by AmericanDrycleaner.com to provide a variety of financial and cost data anonymously for use at the site.
In year-to-year comparisons for the three-month period, sales varied wildly in the Midwest, where operations reported an average 7.5% increase in sales. Respondents in the West, however, had a 23% decrease in sales.
