About Us
At Alpine Dry Cleaners, our mission is to ensure every person who comes to us receives consistent quality and professional, courteous service from a team member proud to represent our company. And, for almost 40 years, the Benedict family has been striving to meet this goal by providing unsurpassable dry cleaning and repair services to our valuable customers in the Longview area. As winners of Best of East Texas award for several years and the Best of Longview, we’ve proven our commitment to this mission.
Since 1975, when owner Craig Benedict’s parents, Billye and Jack Benedict, purchased the first dry cleaning store, then known as Sno-White Laundry, we have been consistently expanding, extending the services we offer and the number of people we can serve. Craig, a business and finance graduate from the University of Georgia, was eager to continue expanding their dry cleaning business after taking over the operations from his parents in 1984, prompting the purchase of Alpine Dry Cleaners on Alpine Rd and the addition of another store and production facility on Delwood Ln. With the goal to create added value for customers, he also implemented a free pickup and delivery service and started a textile restoration division.
