Chickamauga Laundry & Cleaners, where it started, 1939No. 03, Since 1939
Three generations of getting it right.
It began in 1939 as Chickamauga Laundry, serving the 6th Cavalry at Fort Oglethorpe. The first Kleen-A-Matic store opened in East Ridge in 1953, and by the '90s we'd grown to seven locations across the area. The name on the door changed; the standard never did.
