It was love at first sight for patriarch Chris Platis who came to Canada in 1958 from his native Greece all but with a photo of Carol Borovilos, his soon to be bride. The couple worked together in a drycleaner's until 1961, when they bought Sparkle Cleaners at Bathurst Street and Wilson Avenue. Their success with Sparkle allowed them to acquire another drycleaner, buy a house, start a family and open Platis & Sons 1 Hour Cleaners, a sizable dry cleaning plant and retail outlet at 1 Bedford Road in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood in 1967.more...See more text
This is the worst dry cleaners I've ever been to, I gave them so many chances. Not only is this place much more expensive than other dry cleaners, the service is absolutely terrible. They ruined a few of my dresses, they were incredibly rude. When I was picking up my dress there were still marks on it and thread was sticking out. When I asked about it the woman started yelling at me and said she has no time to clean it. They shrunk my dress and claimed I washed it. Refused to fix it and yelled.
The prices are totally arbitrary. I went in and dropped my stuff off, and when I picked my things up there were really crazy charges on the bill. I get my clothes dry cleaned every week, and using this place costs way more than the dry cleaners in the financial district. They are rude and abrasive. Avoid!
