Our Story
Since 1985, Plaza Cleaners and Tailors has been proudly family owned and operated by the Blathras family, built on a foundation of exceptional service, expert craftsmanship, and a genuine commitment to our customers.
The business was founded by Leonidas and Parthena Blathras, whose dedication to quality garment care and attention to detail established the values that continue to guide us today. Their passion for craftsmanship and personal service created a tradition of excellence that has been carried forward for generations.
In 2007, their sons, Kosta and Michael Blathras, took ownership of the business, continuing the family legacy while bringing their own experience and dedication to the next chapter of Plaza Cleaners and Tailors.
For nearly four decades, we have taken pride in caring for our customers’ most valued garments with precision, integrity, and personalized attention. Every piece we service reflects our commitment to quality, reliability, and the trust our community has placed in us for generations.
At Plaza Cleaners and Tailors, we believe clothing is more than fabric, it represents important moments, memories, and milestones. Our mission remains the same as it was in 1985, to provide exceptional garment care with the personal touch of a family you can trust.
