Dry Cleaning by T Hanauer

This is the dry-cleaning store I am currently employed at. I won't give away its specific name or location-- but it's in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This specific store was once (a few months ago) privately owned by a Korean seamstress and her two children. It started losing money, or maybe it never made any money, and so after seven years, they decided to sell. The store was bought by a dry cleaning chain, kept the previous store owner as the official store seamstress, and hired employees. In fact, they're still hiring... a permanent help wanted sign is placed on the store front.

As you may be able to tell, the store is very unpretentious. It's a store for dry cleaning and that's that. It isn't extremely well kept, and the clothes do not get handled with too much care, but other than the occasional lost item or complaining customer, it does alright.
