Dixie Cleaners first opened for business in 1945 by Robert “Wyman” Hutto. Wyman returned from World War 2, a Purple Heart recipient, with a dream to own a business in his hometown of Holly Hill, SC. The business grew and in 1970 he opened a retail store and plant at its present location on the corner of Gardner Boulevard and Peak St. In 1985, desiring retirement, Wyman sold the business to his stepson, Robert E. Mims, III, and his wife, Mary Fell Mims. Thru the early years of their ownership several additional stores were opened in Santee and St. George, S C. In 2005, the decision was made to make home and business pick up and delivery a major part of Dixie Cleaners business plan and at the same time perform all of the cleaning and quality control in one central location, instead of having multiple stores. This has made our operation much more efficient and continues to allow us to charge the same prices for pick up and delivery as we do in our store. Today, our pick up and delivery service covers 26 zip codes from Holly Hill to the Greater Charleston Area.
