Horace and Joyce Broussard, started this business in 1964. They bought the equipment and supplies from another business that was closing its doors. They then formed National Cleaners. They had only $34 in their checking account when they opened in April of 1964. They could not afford to hire too many employees, so they worked seven days a week to get the job done. This included my father being the drycleaner in the plant and delivery man on the road at the same time. To work until 8 or 9 p.m. at night then start again at 5 a.m. was the norm for awhile. As business picked up and employees were hired, things got a little easier, but they still worked long hours.  Although I don’t work on Sundays, I am still in my plant six days a week. That’s part of the work ethic my parents instilled in me.
My wife Mandy and I have 2 sons, Luke and Blake. Both work here during the summer learning the ropes just as I did. I also have the best staff members an owner could ask for. They have over 170 years combined experience in the drycleaning industry. Without their hard work and dedication, we would not be where we are today, celebrating over 50 years in business.  

We are very proud to be considered a “mom & pop”establishment. Our customers are known by name and given personalized  customer service. Please come by and experience the friendly and professional atmosphere of the best quality cleaners in Acadiana.
