GreenEarth Cleaning

The 2019 GreenEarth Workshop in Kansas City, Missouri was an excellent demonstration of some of the best-in-class dry cleaners from around the country coming together to share their knowledge and learn from one another. No shortage of fun was had both Friday and Saturday night, but without a doubt, the conversations taking place amongst Affiliates in attendance is what it is all about. When presentations are regularly breaking out into open conversations, you know the audience is truly engaged. It’s exciting for us each time we host a workshop to hear back from our Affiliates and what initiatives they are implementing into their businesses to grow sales and improve operations. Some of the best discussions we’ve had to date took place over the course of this workshop and we could not be more happy with the group who attended. Our Affiliates are all rock stars in the industry! The GreenEarth Workshop was held Sept. 21 at the GreenEarth home office in Kansas City, Missouri, where topics spanning technical, marketing, sustainable fashion, building a team, and more were discussed. The evening prior, all attendees were invited to a meet and greet at the AC Hotel in the trendy Westport neighborhood. We also followed up the full day of learning with a good ol’ fashioned Kansas City BBQ feast and photo booth at local favorite Char Bar! We’re already missing our GreenEarth Family and are looking forward to getting prepared for the next workshop! Check out more pics from the weekend here.
