Timeless Cleaners, 1-800-Textiles Launch Soft Goods Restoration Franchise in Las Vegas

Timeless Cleaners and 1-800-Textiles launched 1-800-Textiles of Las Vegas, which provides specialized soft goods restoration services to customers affected by fire, water, wind and other catastrophic events. The new franchise will serve Clark County, Nevada, and function as a key hub for the 1-800-Textiles network across the Southwest, supporting regional overflow and outlying markets.

Timeless Cleaners also owns Advent Cleaners, Nevada’s largest dry cleaner, which serves retail and commercial customers through brands including Al Phillips Cleaners and Thrift DLux Cleaners. Nick Gausling, chief operating and financial officer of Advent Cleaners and corporate secretary and treasurer of Timeless Cleaners, will oversee 1-800-Textiles of Las Vegas. Advent Cleaners’ executive vice presidents, Martin Masse and Laurie Weaver, will manage the franchise day to day alongside Advent Cleaners’ existing operations.

“We’re ecstatic to partner with 1-800-Textiles to bring its specialized soft goods restoration services to Las Vegas,” Gausling said. “Timeless Cleaners is focused on all things garment and textile care, and it quickly became clear that 1-800-Textiles is the ideal restoration partner for us and a perfect fit to integrate into our growing enterprise.”

Advent Cleaners personnel will process restoration-specific dry cleaning, laundry and textile work as 1-800-Textiles of Las Vegas. While retail dry cleaning focuses on everyday cleaning, stain removal and garment finishing, restoration work uses processes designed to address smoke, mold and other disaster-related contaminants. 1-800-Textiles developed these processes over several years to help restore damaged soft goods to their pre-loss condition, when possible.

“When someone experiences a catastrophic event, it’s not just about the economic loss; things like clothes, bedding, stuffed animals and shoes are very personal items, and the customer is in a state of vulnerability,” Kevin Loner, CEO of 1-800-Textiles. “1-800-Textiles exists to help them recover as much of what was lost as possible, and no one is better suited to carry that banner in Las Vegas than Timeless Cleaners.”

The launch is part of Timeless Cleaners’ strategy to expand its reach across dry cleaning, laundry and textile services. As the industry consolidates and many established dry cleaners face mounting financial and operational pressures, Timeless Cleaners sees an opportunity.

“Soft content restoration is both a vital service to the community and economically noncyclical, which makes it particularly attractive to our broader corporate group,” Gausling said. “While retail dry cleaning remains our foundation, our goal is to be the provider of choice for all things garment and textile care throughout our geographic markets. Partnering with 1-800-Textiles is a significant step in that direction.”
