BRANDYWINE, Md., —ZIPS Cleaners has opened its first fully automated, 24/7 facility in Brandywine, Maryland, providing customers with unprecedented convenience in garment care. Located at 15805 Robert Crain Highway (Suite D), this innovative location enables customers to drop off and pick up their dry cleaning and laundry at any time—day or night—eliminating the constraints of traditional business hours.
Enhancing Convenience for Busy Lives
The Brandywine facility uses advanced technology to streamline the customer experience. Upon arrival, users simply enter their phone number to drop off items or retrieve cleaned garments. Newly dropped items are tagged, cleaned, and returned to the system for customer pickup, all within ZIPS’ signature pricing and turnaround schedules.
Services include:
- Dry Cleaning: Any garment for $3.49
- Wash N Fold Laundry: $1.99 per pound
- Laundering & Pressing: Shirts/blouses for $2.99 each; pants, lab coats, and aprons for $4.49 each
- Comforter Cleaning: $24.99
- In-by-9-out-by-5 turnaround for dry cleaning
Expanding Accessibility
The new automated site is the latest innovation from Bart and Theresa Casiello, longtime ZIPS Cleaners operators with six additional locations throughout Maryland. Co-owned by their son, Justin Downs, the Brandywine location caters to customers who value flexibility and embrace technology to save time.
“We’ve been part of the dry cleaning industry for 27 years, and this is a great addition,” said Bart Casiello. “Bringing the Brandywine community the full ZIPS Cleaners experience with the added benefit of 24/7 access has been incredibly well received. If this success continues, we plan to open more automated sites.”
Customer Praise for Automation
Early feedback from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. “Drop off and pickup is super easy! The automated operation is pretty impressive and wildly convenient,” one customer shared. “Grabbing clothes at night, after the kids are asleep, when there’s no traffic, is fantastic.”
Downs highlighted the facility’s appeal for those with demanding schedules. “Living in the DMV means dealing with some of the longest commute times in the country,” he said. “This store removes the stress of fitting another deadline into a packed day.”
A Vision for the Future
Bob Barry, President and CEO of ZIPS Cleaners, emphasized the company’s ongoing efforts to enhance customer convenience.
“With kiosks, EZ Drop systems, DoorDash delivery, and now a fully automated 24/7 service, ZIPS Cleaners is committed to meeting the needs of busy customers while maintaining our low-cost leadership,” Barry said.
