Here’s a mini-launderette with a difference – the first Johnsons Cleaners facility operated by parent company Timpson Group outside aTesco store at Stourport-on-Severn in North Worcestershire. Will it catch on?

Well Will Lankston, managing director of Timpson Direct hopes that will be the case and there are more such projects in the pipeline, with Lankston saying some exciting upgrades are on the way.
