Dry cleaner to open in downtown Hamilton

A new dry cleaner in Hamilton’s downtown is ready to help with any clothing crisis.

The Drycleaning Shop, a West Chester twp.-based one-stop shop for commercial dry cleaning offering pick-up and delivery, opened Nov. 20 for limited hours at 217 Court St. But owner Ketan Pema said that beginning Jan. 1, they will be in business all week.

“There’s an underserved market down here,” he said. “A lot of people come from Hamilton to our businesses in West Chester.”

Pema and his brother Yatin Pema have owned and operated the plant and retail store for the past 10 years; the Drycleaning Shop has been in business since 1986.

Pema said their typical clients are office workers — attorneys, CPAs, and business professionals — which make them a perfect addition to downtown’s revitalization.

“That’s our bread and butter, our main revenue stream, and we knew there was a lot of potential here,” he said.

The Drycleaning Shop’s current hours are 7 a.m to 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Beginning Jan. 1, the shop will be open from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Delivery is available in Hamilton, West Chester Twp. and along the State Route 129 corridor.
