In 1946, when 35 year old Alan Tribble returned from war to his wife and son John and their home in Barrie, he opened a cleaning business. He named it Cotty’s Cleaners after his nickname while at war. In Cotty's Cleaners 70 year history, the business has changed and grown, but the mission has stayed the same: provide our community with professional dry cleaning and garment care using cutting edge technology, superior customer service, and the best value for your dollar.
