In 1964, Carroll and Ruby Hernandez founded C&R Quality Cleaners on Cameron Street in Lafayette, Louisiana. For over 40 years, their customers trusted their dedication to quality service. Their friendly faces were always a welcome sight in the community. Their daughters Carolyn Royer and Arlene Hernandez joined the company as soon as they were old enough and are still with the company today assuring that the same quality the company was built on is still the same standard today.

Today, C&R Quality Cleaners is led by Miles Frank. Miles graduated from ULL in mechanical engineering in 1989 and worked for Babcock & Wilcox as a service engineer before purchasing Park Avenue Cleaners in Crowley in 1997. It was there that Miles learned the dry cleaning business under Gus Cart, who started Cart’s Cleaners in the same location in 1964. In 2006, Miles expanded to Lafayette with the purchase of C&R Quality Cleaners and then again in 2008 with the purchase of Camellia Cleaners. The cleaning operation was consolidated with all of the cleaning processes moved to the C&R Quality Cleaners Kaliste Saloom location and upgrading much of the equipment and installing an automated assembly system.  

C&R Quality Cleaners expanded again in 2023 and 2024 with the addition of two new locations in Lafayette with the purchase of Southpark Cleaners located at 3431 W Pinhook Rd in Lafayette and National Cleaners located at 306 Guilbeau Rd in Lafayette.

C&R Quality Cleaners completely renovated the plant at 3431 W Pinhook Rd, more than doubling the size of the production facility with a brand new state-of-the-art plant.  All production was moved to the new plant in February 2024.
