Questions about dry cleaner gaps

Do drop-off locations count?
Places categorized as dry cleaners in open map data are counted, which may include drop-off storefronts that send clothes to a central plant.
What's changed for dry cleaners?
More casual dress and remote work have reduced demand in some areas, so alterations, laundry service and delivery help many shops.
What's worth checking before buying a dry cleaner?
Equipment, the cleaning solvent used and any environmental history at the site, plus the lease and route customers.
