Our history

A revolution in the world of dry cleaning

Founded in 1968, 5àsec was born out of a clear desire: to make textile care accessible to as many people as possible. At a time when cleaning clothes was seen as a high-end service reserved for a privileged clientele, 5àsec identified an opportunity for transformation.

The market was then dominated by independent dry cleaners with practices that were far from standardized: opaque pricing, long turnaround times, and variable quality. Faced with this situation, the brand developed an innovative model based on strong commitments: clear pricing, fast turnaround times, consistent quality, and a simplified customer experience.

From the moment its first stores opened, 5àsec set a new standard in the sector. Its very name embodies this promise of clarity: five prices for all garments. The public immediately embraced the brand, marking the beginning of rapid growth in France and then internationally.

Rapid expansion, international reach

Driven by growing demand and a range of services tailored to changing consumer habits, the brand has experienced rapid growth. First in France, with a network covering the entire country, then internationally, through franchises and strong partnerships.

Today, 5àsec is present in 33 countries on 5 continents, with more than 1,900 stores worldwide. In France, nearly 200 establishments (franchises and affiliates) welcome a loyal and demanding clientele every day. This network is supported by a team of 1,300 committed and passionate employees.
