Dixie Cleaners first opened for business in 1945 by Robert “Wyman” Hutto.  Wyman returned from World War 2, a Purple Heart recipient, with a dream to own a business in his hometown of Holly Hill, SC. The business grew and in 1970 he opened a retail store and plant at its present location on the corner of Gardner Boulevard and Peak St. In 1985, desiring retirement, Wyman sold the business to his stepson Robert & Mary Mims. Later in 2019, Dixie Cleaners changed hands as Robert and Mary headed to retirement. Nick and Raj Patel have brought years of various business/customer service excellence and experience to Dixie Cleaners. In a desire to improve the quality and customer service, Nick and Raj have invested in state of the art equipment and technology continually reinvesting into Dixie Cleaners.

In 2005, the decision was made to pick up and delivery a major part of the Dixie Cleaners business plan and at the same time perform all of the cleaning and quality control in one central location. This has made the operation much more efficient and continues to allow us to charge the same prices for pick up and delivery as we do in our store.  Today, our pick up and delivery service covers 26 zip codes from Holly Hill to the Greater Charleston Area and continually grows.
