History
Paris Cleaners and Laundry began operation as a family run organization in October of 1903. At that time, the company was known as Metropolitan Dry Cleaners and Steam Garment Dying Works. It was located at 113 S. Rose Street in Kalamazoo. In 1905, the plant where the clothes were cleaned burned down in a fire and was moved to O'Neal Street. The store, where orders were taken, was moved to 242 W. Main which is now West Michigan. In 1939, the name was changed to Paris Cleaners and Dyers, and in 1953 to Paris Cleaners Inc. Since 1956, Paris Cleaners has operated in the facility on the corner of Crosstown Parkway and Westnedge Ave. in Kalamazoo. Wilbert & Elaine Weidenaar bought the business in 1991, and own it to this day. Paris Cleaners currently operates 6 locations to serve customers throughout the Kalamazoo and Portage area.
