Apex Dry Cleaners is a full service dry cleaners that offers a variety of services for its customers such as same day service dry cleaning (in by 9 am, out by 5pm), next day laundry service, and pressing.

Since both streets are four-lane streets, there is a high volume of traffic flowing daily on each, thus causing Apex to have a high drive-by exposure.
