CITY Breaks Ground on New Polk City Facility

POLK CITY, IA – CITY Laundering invests in a new operations depot to better serve its expanding Des Moines area customer base. With a permanent 10,800-square-foot facility, CITY is committed to serving the area with a family owned, industrial laundry provider.

“When we made the decision to service the Greater Des Moines area in 2010, we knew it was just a matter of time before we wanted something more permanent,” President Colin Wetlaufer said. “We started in Des Moines with zero accounts and now we have multiple routes. As we’ve had success, it has only brought us more success.”

The groundbreaking event will occur on Monday, October 23. After two years of planning, construction is scheduled for completion in spring 2018.

Regular scheduled deliveries of clean uniforms and mats as well as safety and facility services products will be serviced from this new facility to customers in the following counties: Polk, Dallas, Madison, Warren, Marion, Jasper, Boone, Story, Marshall, Webster, Hamilton, Hardin, Humboldt, Wright, and Franklin.

The Polk City building will allow the company to grow, Wetlaufer said. The new structure will show CITY’s commitment to being the best in the industry, he said.

“We are committed to providing the best service possible to our Des Moines area customers, and we are making a significant investment in this new facility,” Wetlaufer said. “We will now have the capacity to support our growing customer base across all of Central Iowa. At CITY we pride ourselves on being locally owned and managed and we are proud to be investing right here in our home state of Iowa.”
