Peters’ Cleaners was established in Peterborough in February 1963 by Peter Grist and his sons Peter and Paul.
It has been providing dry cleaning and laundry services in Peterborough and Stamford for 60 years. With its pioneering ‘on the spot’ cleaning it quickly earned a reputation for innovation. One it maintains today along with exceptional cleaning and award-winning customer care.
In June of 2016 Vicky Whiter saved it from closure, it had loyal clients, skilled and dedicated staff and a great reputation, but a lack of marketing, and changing consumer behaviour was driving down revenue whilst costs continued to increase- it was losing money.
Peterborough had evolved and the shops were no longer located where our busy customers needed us to be. Having spent 8 years commuting to London, Vicky was aware how challenging it was to get to the dry cleaner and thought there must be a better answer.
It became her mission to deliver a dry cleaning solution for how we live now. No queues, no outdated opening hours, no high prices for low quality, just great service and convenience.
With that in mind, in 2019 after two years of development, Vicky launched the first fully automated 24/7 dry cleaning pod and the second in May 2021 – a staff free ‘shop’ for dropping off dirty clothes and collecting clean ones any time of the day or night.
In 2022 Peters’ launched their own app across the apple and and android store in order to give customers instant access to the pods. Using their unique QR code they can now pick up and drop off instantly from registration.
2023 brings about big change for Peters’ Cleaners, they launch their 3rd pod, launch their new locker concept which uses the same free app as the pods and they turn 60! Happy Birthday! And thank you to everyone who continues to support us whilst we launch the dry cleaning model of the future.
Where will we go next? Well that’s all coming soon…
