 ASSOCIATED
SERVICES CORPORATION
A native of Danville, Virginia, Richmond Williamson had a vision to
establish self-service laundry facilities to meet the community’s needs.
This vision became a reality in 1959 when the first coin laundry was
opened in Danville thus establishing Associated Services Corporation.
Associated Services Corporation expanded through the years throughout
Virginia and North Carolina. Williamson ran the business from his
Danville office until his death in 1988.
The Company was purchased in 1988 by John W. Kluge. Mr. Kluge’s
management staff ran the Company from the Danville location and expanded
it into the largest coin laundry business in America. In addition to the
Virginia and North Carolina locations, Kluge added South Carolina
locations making Associated Services Corporation a multi-million dollar
corporation.
In January 2005 Associated Services Corporation was purchased by Michael
Finkelstein, a native of Baltimore, Maryland. Finkelstein works directly
with his management team and has a vision of not only having the largest
coin laundry company in America but the best coin laundries in America.
The main office is still located in Danville, Virginia with an overall
staff of 196 full-time and part-time personnel. Associated Services
Corporation currently owns and operates 116 laundry facilities. |
