PALM SPRINGS, CA--(Marketwire - July 19, 2007) - U.S. Dry Cleaning Corporation ("U.S. Dry
Cleaning"), a first mover in consolidating the U.S. dry cleaning industry,
announced today that it has completed an initial public offering of
approximately $6 million. The money will be used to advance U.S. Dry
Cleaning's plan to be the industry's first major consolidator creating a
premier national chain.
Robert Y. Lee, CEO, Director and co-founder of U.S. Dry Cleaning, said, "We
are very excited to complete the first IPO in the dry cleaning industry.
Several outstanding financial companies have supported our vision to become
the industry's first national premier chain. The dry cleaning business is
extremely stable, surviving economic downturns, fads, wars, depressions and
natural disasters. With this successful public offering, we are poised to
advance our strategy to become a dominant force in a previously fragmented
sector and provide the industry's highest quality service."
U.S. Dry Cleaning's total public offering comprised 2,400,000 units. Each
unit was priced at $2.50 and consists of one share of common stock and one
redeemable warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The units were
issued pursuant to a registration statement on Form SB-2 which was filed
with and declared effective on May 14, 2007 by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. US EURO Securities, Inc., a private global investment
bank headquartered in Florida, acted as the managing underwriter for this
offering. A copy of the final prospectus may be obtained from US EURO
Securities, Inc.
Michael Roy Fugler, Chairman of US EURO Securities, stated, "We are pleased
to complete this IPO and help U.S. Dry Cleaning expand its dominance of the
U.S. dry cleaning industry. With this financing, U.S. Dry Cleaning is now
positioned to obtain a trading symbol and launch its plan to acquire high
quality operations in strategic geographic regions of the U.S."
U.S. Dry Cleaning expects Form 15c2-11 to be filed this week by vFinance,
Inc., on behalf of U.S. Dry Cleaning, requesting the assignment of a
trading symbol on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.
