Just Shirts Dry Cleaners and Launderers released a statement assuring its customers it is still open for business.

The announcement comes after news reports that the similarly named company, Just Cleaners, announced in a letter sent to staff this month that it would close effective October 15.

Tyler Owen, the director of Just Shirts Dry Cleaners and Launderers, said: “Due to the recent press, we have had a number of clients calling to ask if we are still open.

“I can assure our customers that we are, and that the confusion, likely, stems from the company that did close with a similar name.

“There is no connection or affiliation whatsoever with the other business. We have been providing laundering and dry-cleaning services for over three decades and our doors remain open.”

Just Shirts Dry Cleaners and Launderers is open on Monday through Friday from 7am to 7pm and on Saturdays from 8.30am to 5.30pm.
