[Tide Services](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/00q8gvn/tide-services) closed the third quarter of 2026 with five new store openings and plans to open at least 10 additional locations in the fourth quarter, the company said on November 11. The franchise platform behind Tide Cleaners and Tide Laundromat announced the results in a [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/tide-services-wraps-q3-with-continued-franchise-growth-and-momentum-across-the-us-302936639.html) release.

## Five Openings and Two New Franchise Groups

The five stores opened in Boise, Idaho; Annapolis, Maryland; and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Tide Services also signed a new franchise group in Northern California and a second group in East Nashville, and worked with existing franchisees on additional locations, reinvestment and market growth. [Third News](https://third-news.com/article/164620b0-ddfc-11f1-bef5-9ca3ba08e13f) reported that the company, a Procter & Gamble subsidiary, cited rising garment counts and an automated Minneapolis store, and announced a Super Bowl and NFL sweepstakes.

Andrew Gibson, president and CEO of Tide Services, said the quarter is typically one of transition for out-of-home laundry. "While the industry is still showing declines in garment counts, ours are increasing," he said. Gibson described the Minneapolis opening as a new automated store format where guests can interact with the store 24/7 without staff on-site. "Our goal is to continue to see double-digit unit growth for the entire year," he said.

## Tide Services' Store Network and Prior Deals

Tide Services, a wholly-owned Procter & Gamble subsidiary founded in 2008 and headquartered in Cincinnati, franchises Tide Cleaners and Tide Laundromat locations, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records list nearly 200 physical locations and over 1,800 locker locations nationwide, and a 50-unit Tide Laundromat development agreement with CMG Companies covering Texas and New Mexico. In November and December 2025, the company acquired and converted 15 legacy dry-cleaning locations across Florida and Ohio, including seven Widmer's Cleaners in Cincinnati and eight Crest Cleaners & Laundry on Florida's Space Coast.

## Earlier Expansion Moves

In June 2026, Lexpress-Franchise reported that Tide Services was accelerating its expansion into the fragmented US laundry market through a dual strategy of acquiring independent operators and signing large multi-unit development agreements. That month, 1851 Franchise Magazine reported that the company was expanding its Tide Cleaners and Tide Laundromat concepts in the $14-15 billion fragmented dry-cleaning and laundry market, operating approximately 230 franchise units.

## Super Bowl Promotion Into 2027

Tide Services recently announced a Super Bowl and NFL sweepstakes promotion that will run into 2027. The company said it is preparing to potentially enter new markets during Q4. Franchising information is available on the [Tide Services franchise site](https://tidefranchise.com).
