The history of Paris Cleaners goes back over 100 years. Founded by entrepreneur and inventor August Paris, the company was started in the 1920s in Brockway, Pa. It was later bought by Jack Stern in the 1950s. David Stern, Jack’s son, joined the company out of college in 1973 and started various laundry divisions. As David celebrates his 50th year with the company, he is happy to share how Paris Cleaners started as a single dry-cleaning operation in Brockway and grew to one of the nation's largest textile providers in the country.
