Dynamic Leadership Unites Old Rivals

For over 60 years, Wright Cleaners and Cotty's Cleaners have competed to dominate the Barrie, Ont. market. Today both are owned by John and Kim Sekleski, newcomers to the industry. This couple is without the baggage of I-tried-that-and-it-didn't-work, which prevents many entrepreneurs from reaching their goals. Their story proves that dry cleaning is a viable investment today for those with the management skills to make a success of it.

2007 Campaign

Donations this year can be made at any Wright Cleaners or Cotty’s Cleaners from October 1st to October 30th. Distribution will take place in November 2007 at the Army Navy Air Force club.

Coats for Kids (& Folks)

For over a decade now Cotty’s Cleaners, in co-operation with B101 FM and recently Chay 93.1 FM, have campaigned during the fall in an effort to provide a warm winter coat for the less fortunate children in our community. In 2004 Wright Cleaners joined the campaign and began accepting coats for adults as well as other winter clothing such as toques, mitts etc. These items and any left over children’s coats were donated to the Salvation Army for distribution.

The 2006 campaign was a great success with over one thousand children’s coats being collected, cleaned and distributed. I would like to personally thank everyone involved as it is truly a combined effort to insure the continued success of this important community based initiative.
