    Taking Out The Wash

    New Dallas on-demand services take the drudgery out of doing laundry

    We're busy in Dallas, and anytime we can get something delivered — fresh groceries, booze, cars, tacos — we're on board. Thanks to a boost from technology, Dallas now has two on-demand laundry services that are guaranteed to make life — or at least chores — easier.

    Residents in Uptown, Park Cities, Lakewood and North Dallas can mark washing, folding and dry cleaning off their to-do list with help from Laundri. In fact, there’s not much Laundri won’t clean: pet beds, tablecloths, sleeping bags, pretty much any soft goods that can be transported. Log in via the website — apps for Android and iOS are launching within the next couple of weeks — to schedule your laundry pickup. Keep an eye out for a shoe shine service starting in August.

    “Dallas is a great city for technology and especially for on-demand tech,” says co-founder David Burrows. “Our soft launch was in Highland Park earlier this year and people are going crazy for it.” And with good reason. Laundri’s 24-hour turnaround — and same-day service offered on Saturdays — makes it easy to look fresh and fabulous.

    And because we love companies that give back to the community, Laundri gets extra props for partnering with local charities in need of clothing and bed linens. Got a pile of old clothes you keep meaning to haul off to GoodWill? Ask your Laundri driver to pick up your donation on his or her next trip. Laundri will even wash, fold and bundle the donation items before delivering it to the local organization. To date, Laundri has donated more than 700 pounds of clothing to Genesis Women’s Shelter. David and co-founder John Sanchez are actively looking for more local organizations to help in the future.

    North Texas laundry-phobes can take advantage of a similar on-demand service from Wash-It-Kwik. Servicing all of Denton County, Frisco, The Colony, Lewisville and the Argyle/Lantana area, Wash-It-Kwik utilizes WashClub’s pickup and delivery service that lets you track your laundry in real time.

    With roots in Brooklyn, WashClub was born from a lack of customer service in the laundry industry. Founder and president Rick Rome realized about 10 months after opening his laundry business that poor communication, sub-par service and inconsistent cleaning were fairly standard.

    “I wanted to create a synonymous experience for my customers,” Rick said. “People have called us the Uber of laundry service, but that’s not quite right. We don’t contract out drivers; they all work for us. We want to be a trusted source for our customers and that’s one way we do it.”

    On delivery day, customers receive a text message or email alert when the driver is about 30 minutes away and can track their delivery in real time. More North Texas zip codes are slated to be added throughout the year.

    Texas continues record run as No. 1 state for business, per CEO magazine

    Big D has a can-do attitude.

    The Texas business sector recently received a double dose of good news.

    For the 22nd consecutive year, Chief Executive magazine named Texas the best state for business. In tandem with that achievement, preliminary new estimates from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis show the size of Texas’ economy jumped to $2.9 trillion in 2025, up by a nation-leading growth rate of 2.5 percent compared with the previous year.

    Speaking about the Chief Executive honor, Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas benefits from pro-growth policies, a strong workforce, strategic investments in education, training for high-demand skills and the presence of critical infrastructure.

    “Texas is where businesses innovate and where opportunity abounds. … We will continue to move at the speed of business as we build a more prosperous Texas for generations to come,” the governor says.

    An annual Chief Executive survey of CEOs, presidents and business owners determines which state is the best for business. Texas has landed at No. 1 every year since Chief Executive launched the ranking.

    “Truly, this is an incredible run that Texas has going,” says Christopher Chalk, publisher of Chief Executive. “CEOs are a tough group to please, and yet year after year Texas continues to earn the top spot— no small feat.”

    It’s also no small feat for a state to notch annual gains in its gross domestic product (GDP), a measurement of economic power based on the value of goods and services produced each year.

    With an estimated GDP of $2.9 trillion last year, Texas maintains its position as the eighth-largest global economy compared with the nations of the world, based on preliminary estimates from the International Monetary Fund.

    In reference to Texas’ GDP growth, Abbott says the Lone Star State is “the premier destination for job creators from across the country and world. We will keep attracting world-class investment, create jobs, and expand opportunity for Texans for generations to come.”
