Tailored Beginnings: Every great business model starts with solving a problem 🪡 ✅
For Alterations Express, that journey began in the dry cleaning industry.
While operating a high-volume dry cleaning business, our founder, Gino, saw firsthand how valuable alterations could be—not just as an additional service, but as a driver of customer loyalty, repeat business, and long-term growth.
➡️ That insight became the foundation for Alterations Express ✂️
Today, more than 30 years later, we're bringing that same concept full circle.
If you already own a dry cleaner, bridal boutique, menswear store, or another business that offers alterations, you may not need to reinvent your business—you can strengthen it.
Our Combination Business Model is designed to help existing businesses expand their alterations operation with proven systems, established branding, comprehensive training, and decades of operational experience.
Sometimes, the best opportunity isn't starting something new—it's building on what you already do best.

"The alterations industry is dying." ❌ WRONG!
It's one of the biggest myths we hear—and it couldn't be further from the truth. Every day, people need clothing altered for weddings, work, special events, weight loss, and everyday wear.
As clothing fit becomes more important than ever, demand for professional tailoring continues to grow.
The reality? The alterations industry isn't disappearing. It's evolving — providing MASSIVE growth potential. 📈
👉 And while there are thousands of independent shops across the country, there has never been a nationally recognized brand leading the industry.
At Alterations Express, we've spent more than 30 years building a proven model, growing to 12 locations, and redefining what customers can expect from a tailor shop.
The opportunity isn't shrinking. It's just getting started.
✂️Franchise opportunities now available.

We've said it once & we'll say it again — FIT is the most important aspect of style. BUT especially suit style.
Everything else about your suit does not matter — cost, fabric, designer, label, whether it's custom-made, bespoke, or off-the-rack; if your suit does not fit you well, it will not look good.
Don't trust us? Well, we know you'll trust @tanfrance's opinion!
