A North Shore Business Built On Lasting Relationships
Serving The North Shore For More Than 45 Years
Since it opened its doors in Skokie more than four decades ago, Kenny The Kleener has become a trusted name for garment care across Northern Chicago and the North Shore.
What began as a small shop now serves people, families, and businesses across Skokie, Evanston, Wilmette, Northern Chicago and the North Shore. The company has grown, but the focus has never changed: great care, reliable service, and trust.
Many customers who first walked in years ago still rely on our team today. That says a lot about the bonds we have built in the towns we serve.

The Vision That Started It All
Founded With The Community In Mind
Kenny The Kleener was founded by Ken Davis, who opened the first store on Dempster Street in Skokie with one clear goal: a neighborhood business people could count on.
His plan went beyond cleaning clothes. He wanted a company known for skilled work, steady results, and real care for customers, one that gave back to the local area.
That goal still shapes how Kenny The Kleener works and how we serve customers today.
Whether you drop off a routine order or trust us with a treasured piece, we believe you deserve close attention and expert care.
