Our Story

Bill Stork’s grandfather apprenticed under his brother, John, at The Stork Laundry in Alton, IL, learned the tailoring business, expanded into dry cleaning in the 20’s and owned the first dry cleaning machine in Madison County. Will’s sons took over in the 1930’s and continued as partners until 1958. Bill Jr. joined his father, having finished college and working at Chrysler Corporation as an industrial engineer. After his father retired, Bill expanded to three plants and diversified into interior decorating and remodeling. His next step was equipment sales, sales management and plant design. Dry Clean Design was founded in 2005.

Bill’s experience in dry cleaning, industrial engineering, and construction make him uniquely qualified to assist in your planning, equipment selection, layout, and construction. Following are comments from a few of his clients:

  • We used Dry Clean Design to provide the initial conceptual design for our brand new dry cleaning business. Being newcomers to the dry cleaning industry we feel that we benefitted from Bill Stork’s extensive industry knowledge and contacts. Through the execution phase of the project we found Bill to be both pragmatic and flexible as our plant evolved from concept to finished product. Our plant was built with considerable growth factored in, and as that growth has been achieved we have become even more satisfied with Bill Stork’s original design. We found Bill to be knowledgeable and trustworthy and are pleased to still involve him in continuing plant enhancements as opportunities arise.

  • Without question, your knowledge and expertise produced a redesigned plant which provided for the proper integration of existing and new equipment, creating a more efficient workflow throughout. Your new layout and reconfiguration of equipment has helped to significantly increase our overall production capacity. The new design found space for a new tunnel finisher, 9.5 HP boiler and automatic assembly conveyor. Now we can take full advantage of the assisted assembly process. Today, we have a cool, quiet and fully functional office and the room necessary to create a modern upscale lobby, cleverly configured to better accommodate customer traffic. Plus, we now have a strategically located area to display our numerous services and tasteful packaging to patrons. Movement of the routes in and out of the store is now more direct and easier to navigate. Great use of 1800 square feet! You have given us a winner in all categories. Thank you, Bill.
