VERONA — The dry cleaning systems at Klinke Cleaners still require lots of people, from those who pull clothes out of bags and tag and sort the garments to others who press and hang.
Steve Klinke, owner of Klinke Cleaners, has installed automated kiosks in three of his stores, including this store in Verona. The $110,000 system allows customers to drop off or pick up their clothes 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
