Beatitudes, 210 N. Main St., Ada, is the new pick up point for dry cleaning services in Ada, according to Deb Curlis.
This service began this month at Beatitudes as a result of the closing of Reichert’s, who previously offer it.
Curlis said that items to be dry cleaned may be dropped off at the store until 4 p.m. each Tuesday. Items will return to Ada and will be available for a 10 a.m. Wednesday pick up by customers.
Gladine Cleaners of Findlay, in operation since 1940, provides the service and the company is the same firm that worked with Reichert’s.
