RICHLAND — The economic recession is forcing many companies to close, but a Tri-City cleaning business is on the rise.

Dura-Shine Clean began serving the Tri-Cites six years ago from Pasco.

Today, the business holds it’s grand re-opening at a new, larger location in Richland.

Dura-Shine Clean’s business grew 30% last year.

This year, it’s seeing a 20% increase on top of that.

The CEO tells us the new location is four times larger than the Pasco location.

And the growth in business allows him to hire more employees.

“We built this company with great processes and great staff and so therefore we are thriving in a time where the recession is going on” said Carlos Martinez, Dura-Shine Clean CEO.

Martinez says he gets service calls from as far away as Yakima.

He says if business continues to grow, he could start a new office in central Washington.
