We have been using this dry cleaner for years. we couldn't be happier with their service. my sister just recently moved to this area and she too now uses them and is very pleased.we highly recommend them PS I had a shirt that I absolutely loved that had a stain I tried everything to get it out and couldn't, so I gave Anton's a try. boom no more stain!

Had a very nice suit dry cleaned only to find that a hook from the pants/zipper closure had been ripped out of the fabric, ruining the pants. I've been told they will replace the closure but I don't see how it's possible without a patch. I'll update after I go back, and attach pictures. But for now, never going back for their service.

I loved and truly miss when this place was Champions. I have an Antons around the corner in Reading Center and I actually went to Champions because I find Antons prices to be high. As soon as they swapped hands, the quality remained excellent but the prices soared. I used to be able to bring a comforter in to be cleaned for roughly $30 now it's almost $40. I prefer to support small local businesses so I'll have to look around for a new cleaners.

First time, last time. I took a comforter in to be cleaned and noted to the employee at the desk that it needed extra attention along the top edge. Got it back a week later - so badly wrinkled that I spent at least 45 minutes ironing just the top plus the batting was so messed up that I probably spent another 45 minutes trying to move it around and even it out.
All before I could even put it back on the bed. On top of that, the top edge did not get special attention and looks about the same as when I took it in And it did not smell clean. Grr.a wasted $36 This is not a cheap bed-in-a-bag comforter. Now I have to look for someone else to do what I expected Anton's to do. UPDATE one month later. Ryan, a district manager, called me to apologize.
He said he was sending me a check for the cost of the cleaning, and adding a credit to my account so I could bring my comforter back in to have it cleaned for free, and that he would personally handle it. One month later and the check has still not arrived. My review and my experience remain negative.

This was my first time visiting the tailoring side since posting my last review, and safe to say things haven't gotten better. I brought a dress here to have taken in when my usual place was booked up. This was an unlined dress with non-stretch fabric and simple construction. I tried on the dress and communicated what I would like to have done (shorten the shoulder, take in the bust, shorten the sleeves and hem, slim the sleeves).
Except for shortening the sleeves and hem, she told me it nothing could be done. Huh? And she quoted me $40 for the hem! And it wouldn't even match the original rolled hem finish! She's said this to me before on the last item I brought in, saying the things I wanted couldn't be done or that "it looks fine, it doesn't need it". So I took the dress home with me and with my newly acquired sewing skills, I tailored the damn thing myself!
And guess what? My alterations looked great and I got many compliments on it. This woman is lazy and doesn't listen to her customers. How she has lasted here for years I have no idea. I can't believe I wasted my time here.

I few months ago I dropped some clothes off and totally forgot about them. They reached out and reminded me i dropped them off. I promptly picked them Up the next day. I was honestly surprised how well they cleaned up. They were heavily soiled from oil sprinkler water during a hotel fire alarm. I took them out of the bags to my surprised and was blown away how perfect my $1500 in clothing looked. Thanks so much! I highly recommend this place.

This place is phenomenal. I've lived all over the country and used a gazillion different dry cleaners and Champion, by far, is the best. They are always accommodating and I have never picked up a garment and been disappointed. The attention to detail is like no other. Yes, it's possible to have an exquisite experience at a dry cleaners. Champion is the place.

This has been my dry cleaner for fifteen years. I live 4 towns away but make the trip here because the staff is always professional and nice. I have card on file so I never need to take a card out to pay. Just grab my clothes and go. Somehow that is a huge convenience to me. Late night pick up in the lockers is awesome too! Knowing things will be done that day if dropped off before 9 is incredible.
And if after you pick up the next day! It's the best dry cleaner I've ever been too. I wear suits for work everyday so I need it. Now my whole family uses Champions! Keep up the great work guys!

The woman in the alteration shop told me that my shirt wasn't nice enough to be tailored, and repeatedly questioned why I wanted to get it done. Probably one of the rudest customer experiences I have ever had, anywhere. The cleaners next door did a good job, but won't be using the alteration service anytime soon.

I think they have magicians that work in the back! How else could I spill red wine on my dress on a Sunday, bring it to the cleaners on Monday morning (with my tail between my legs) and pick it up Monday afternoon? And what wine!? Magicians. That is the only explanation. And the regular humans that work there couldn't be any nicer. No judgment on my behavior! There is no reason to go anywhere else. Ever.

Champion Cleaners is as good as it gets. I have been going there since they opened many years ago, and I have not one complaint. Everyone that works there is on it and works quickly and efficiently. It truly amazes me how much clothing they can take in and return cleaned the very next day, or even same day! I'll never go to another cleaner. And.who else has a drive through!?! Try Champion, you will not be sorry!

Exactly one month ago, I dropped off $300 worth of silk tops for dry cleaning in our office's pickup area that weren't returned. I called Champion Cleaners and they confirmed that they picked up the bag, dry cleaned the tops, charged me for it, and then hung them back in my office's shared closet two days later. At first, we blamed Champion Cleaners for losing them and were very upset.
After contacting them, Champion Cleaners took the initiative to call every person in my office who had large orders dropped off that same day. They were able to find the person who accidentally picked them up who found them in her husband's closet between many of his dress shirts. My wife (and my wallet) were overjoyed to have them returned to us. I feel badly for ever doubting Champion Cleaners and now would trust them with my first born. They truly are champions!

Maybe I just had a few bad experiences but I'm never going to champion cleaners again. I personally don't like that I don't receive a slip when I drop off my clothes. There are times I'm so busy with work that it could be another week until I am able to pick up my items and by that time I have completely forgotten what I dropped off.
But on to the quality of work, in the beginning it was fine. I have a process when I'm trying new dry cleaners not to give them my cherished items up front so I can judge the quality of work first. Some time had passed and I hadn't had any issues, so I dropped off a silk blouse I've had forever. It came back with one of the buttons missing on the sleeve, yes a button is replaceable in most cases but when the shirt is 10+ years old it is more difficult.
This was small so I moved on. I should not have believed them but they said they clean leathers and my white leather needed to be cleaned. It came back with cuts in the leather. I also had a dress cleaned and found a stain that was not there before I sent it in. So no thank you never again.

My husband wears a lot of dress shirts for work and we have tried a lot of dry-cleaners. Champion Cleaners has been the best by far in convenience & quality. The covered, drive up window and after hours drop box is great for those off hours or rainy days when you just don't feel like getting out of the car. Also it's a pretty quick detour from I93.
The staff is always friendly and professional. However, I have to say it's the little touches that keep me coming back. They replace broken shirt buttons, no charge, part of the service. They fold the sleeves in so they don't get wrinkled and they put a little plastic tab in the collar that helps keep its form. They always return found items in your garments like $ or stray collar stays. Would highly recommend them!

I want to be specific that this review is for the tailors only. The dry cleansing business side is great and I love the service I get. It's consistent, friendly and quick. Never a problem. Now.onto the tailor. Dropped off a jersey to have a patch sewn on. Very simple and quick task. I had affixed it to the shirt exactly where I wanted it. The woman working was helping someone else and was trying to help me instead of finishing with the first customer. Said it would be done later in the day and didn't write anything down which I thought was fine considering I had the patch taped on the jersey where I wanted it. Took my skip and left.
Later in the day I went back to pick it up my jersey Andy the patch was in the wrong location. I had to leave it and follow up on Monday when the tailor was back. Went in Monday and showed her again where it should have been and how the tape, that was still on the shirt, was still marking the spot. Ready later in the day. Went in the next day and again the patch was in the wrong spot. After three tries it was finally completed correctly. Very frustrating as the jersey was expensive and the patch irreplaceable. I would not use the tailor again.

Why isn't every cleaner drive through? A brilliant concept. Drop off your stuff early in the a.m. and it is usually ready at the end of the day. The service is capable and the owner is generally on site. You don't need a slip just tell them your name. I want to mention they also have a shoe repair service--they send out so it takes several days but it's very convenient especially since cobbler shops are becoming more and more rare. Very conveniently located a couple of blocks off I-93.
