Ideal was founded in Scottsbluff, Nebraska in 1907, as a “Soft Water Laundry.” In 1958, Dry cleaning was added and then in 1972, after a major fire destroyed much of the main plant, Ideal branched into a full-blown supply house. In the early days, Ideal concentrated on one important thing that seems, at times, to be lost today: SERVICE. We continue that tradition today. As you look through our website, keep that one word in mind: SERVICE. Our sales staff are dedicated to it. Also keep in mind, that in most cases we can offer you very prompt delivery throughout our entire trade area. We welcome and appreciate your business and support. Ideal is local, family owned and operated supplier, dedicated to making our area the best that it can be. At Ideal, its our people and experience that make the difference and we are proud to have served this community for over 100 years.
