From Pensacola’s Humble Suds to Houston’s High-Speed Extractors
In 1987, when Jan Smith first set up a modest laundry operation in Pensacola, Florida, she probably didn’t foresee Titus Commercial Laundry becoming a powerhouse stretching across the southeastern United States and the Caribbean. Or maybe she did—Jan’s always had a knack for seeing the potential in a pile of dirty laundry.
“We didn’t get into this business to be mediocre,” says Jan Smith, the ever-modest president and founder.
Now, after decades of keeping linens crisp and customers satisfied, Titus Commercial Laundry is tossing its hat—or should we say, its lint-free towel—into the Houston market. And why not? Houston’s booming economy and dynamic business landscape make it the perfect place for the next chapter in this spin cycle saga.
A Legacy of Excellence That Doesn’t Fade
Founded on the principle that exceptional service shouldn’t be the exception, Titus Commercial Laundry has been the quiet workhorse behind countless hotels, healthcare facilities, and apartment complexes where clean laundry isn’t just a nicety—it’s a necessity.
“From day one, we’ve aimed for excellence because our customers—whether they’re running a small motel or a sprawling hospital—deserve nothing less.”
Robert Titus, who launched the Service Department back in 2010, chimes in with his characteristic straightforwardness: “Machines break. It’s a fact of life. Our job is to make sure that when they do, we’re there to fix them before anyone notices.”
Three Divisions, One Mission: Keep Things Running Smoothly
What sets Titus Commercial Laundry apart isn’t just its fleet of well-stocked service vans or its cadre of factory-trained technicians—though those certainly help. It’s the company’s trifecta of specialized divisions that cater to the nuanced needs of their diverse clientele.
OPL Division: Specializing in On-Premises Laundry services for hotels, motels, institutions, and healthcare facilities. These folks are the unsung heroes who ensure that the sheets are spotless and the towels are fluffy. They tackle complex laundry systems with the kind of finesse that would make a Swiss watchmaker jealous.
Route Division: Focused on the smaller washers and dryers humming away in apartment complexes. They understand that for residents, a broken machine isn’t a minor inconvenience—it’s a headline event. Regular maintenance, emergency repairs, sage advice on equipment operation—they handle it all so residents can keep their clothes—and lives—running smoothly.
Chemical Division: The wizards behind the curtain who make sure that the alchemy of cleaning chemicals happens safely and effectively. Proper handling and dosing aren’t just technicalities; they’re essential for both the longevity of the equipment and the quality of the wash. These experts ensure that every cycle is optimized, fabrics are treated kindly, and no one gets any nasty surprises.
Houston, We Have No Problems
Expanding into Houston isn’t just a business move; it’s a statement of intent. Titus Commercial Laundry is bringing its A-game to a city that appreciates efficiency, reliability, and a touch of Southern hospitality.
“Entering the Houston market is like upgrading from a top loader to a high-efficiency front loader,” says Hope Titus, Cheif Marketing Office at Titus. “The capacity for growth is enormous, and we’re ready to meet the demand with the same dedication we’ve shown since 1987.”
Investing in More Than Just Machines
While laundry might be their business, people are their passion. Titus Commercial Laundry is not just installing equipment; they’re investing in the community. Job creation, local partnerships, community development initiatives—you name it, they’re on it.
