Brandt Stravlo’s entrepreneurial spirit is clean but contagious, spreading across states and territories. And he doesn’t want to quit.

In 2012, the Texas Tech graduate and Lubbock resident got into the franchise business, opening Tide Cleaners in Hub City and launching several other chains.

Now he’s expanding into central Texas and is launching his own Tide Cleaners shop in the Austin area after a recent success in Colorado.

Chief Operating Officer of EDIT CLEAN, LLC, Stravlo lives in Lubbock and operates 16 full-service tide cleaners in Austin, Lubbock and Colorado.

“We want to have 10 or more stores near Austin,” Stravlo said. “This market continues to grow tremendously and we want to take the burden of dry cleaning and laundry off our residents by bringing greater convenience, customer service and quality to outdoor cleaning. .”

Stravlo joined Conquer the Day in 2012 with business partner Justin Sharbutt. CTD has opened several franchises including Tide Cleaners, Burger Fi and Dunkin Donuts. The duo opened the first Tide his cleaner in Lubbock in 2015.

“Justin and I read about the opportunity in Entrepreneur magazine titled ‘Now Franchising Tide Cleaners’ and it immediately caught our eye,” says Stravlo. “We called that day and were in Cincinnati for Discovery Day by the next week.”

Stravlo wants to continue expanding Tide Cleaners, aiming for 100 stores by 2032.
