M C Cleaners

This family-​owned business has been in this location since 1986. The locals love this place.
M C Cleaners is at the end of the little no-​outlet street behind PVE City Hall, next to the French restaurant. They have no visibility from the main road and depend on word-​of-​mouth advertising to get new customers.
I pass the cleaners frequently as I head for the fire road hiking path, which makes it convenient to use their services. Plus… it’s easy to park there, no meters.
Today I read an article about the history of the family who owns & operates the cleaners, and their story is quite inspiring… powerful as well as touching. I learned that Nicole & Giai fled Saigon in 1975 with their 3 small boys and just a few possessions. They built a new life from scratch and have worked hard ever since to stay afloat.
As a former small business owner, I understand the everyday struggle, and am thankful for this opportunity to give a well-​deserved shout to a fine local business.
