Our History
Bahlman Cleaners is a family-owned and operated drycleaner and laundry proudly serving West Texas since 1947. Founder, Melvin Bahlman, purchased his first cleaners in Robert Lee, Texas, expanded to the community of Sweetwater in 1958, then to Winters and expanded again in 1966 to San Angelo, Texas. Our first San Angelo location was at the 5-way intersection of Van Buren, Ward and Beauregard streets. A 2nd location on 19th Street in San Angelo was opened in 1969. Leon Bahlman, Melvin’s brother, purchased the San Angelo locations in 1978, after having served many years as general manager. In 1980, the business negotiated a contract with Levi Strauss to pre-wash and press as many as 10,000 (yes, that is correct) pairs of jeans per day.
Since 1980, the Bahlman family has expanded to 5 locations in San Angelo, Texas as well as in the west Texas towns of Odessa, Sonora, and Ozona. Contract services are provided in other area communities such as Eldorado, Mertzon and Sterling City.
The Odessa locations, operating as Fashion Cleaners, are owned and operated by Donnie and Shari Bahlman Riley. The current San Angelo locations, as well as the Sonora and Ozona locations are owned and operated by Danny and Kande Bahlman.
Bahlman Cleaners in Sweetwater, Texas, although no longer associated with the San Angelo operations, continues to operate under the ownership of the founder’s daughter.
