The business was initially founded in 2017 by Cristina Velasquez and Isaias Garcia under the name "Garcia's Tailorshop." Since then, they both set forth their dream with a lot of effort and dedication.
Eventually, they expanded their services to offer Embroidery and Dry Cleaning in small quantities. Since then, three of their children have joined the excellence that Cristina and Isaias are known for. This addition has improved the business through the help of online tools, respect, and diligence.
Unfortunately, after being six years in business, the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be a challenge for all of us. To help the public needs and protect our communities, we informed ourselves of the requirements for protective face masks. We started producing them individually and commercially for clinics, university staffs, local businesses, and our neighbors/customers in Inglewood.
Nonetheless, the virus had many negative effects which reached the owner of the building that we leased and had to move. Luckily, we were also expanding the business for a second location in Hawthorne, which now serves us as our only location and has been renamed to "Best Cleaners and Tailorshop."
Moving to a new location (which didn't have a good reputation) was challenging. However, the business' success is due to the approval of our loyal customers, many of whom have become friends that were eager to support us anywhere and refer their friends and family for great service, professional dry-cleaning, and tailoring.
Hence, we haven't lost any customers, but rather, we have gained a new supporting community of good neighbors in Hawthorne.
Best Cleaners & Tailorshop has a great team of five in which every member is well equipped to assist you with dry-cleaning questions, or tailoring needs. However, each person brings a specialization for the business's success and different personalities that will make your visits enjoyable!
