Does anyone here have experience with buying a dry cleaning business?

I’m wondering what the pitfalls might be to watch out for with a dry cleaning business.

Any particular cons to a business of this type or advice on what to watch out for would be super helpful.

I’d also love to hear from anyone who has done it what your experience was like. 

Thanks in advance.
