Freeway Laundry and Dry Cleaners at 1054 Narragansett Boulevard in Cranston hosted local dignitaries, friends, family members and well-wishers on Friday during a ceremonial ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony. Construction of the Cranston location – the company’s fifth laundry in Rhode Island – was supported by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and financed through Navigant Credit Union. The company is owned by Costas Perdikakis, and includes his children Giana Perdikakis, Rhea Ray, and Dean Perdikakis. Among those on hand were Lt. Gov. Dan McKee, representing Gov. Gina Raimondo; Cranston Director of Administration Robert Coupe, representing Mayor Allan Fung; Seth Goodall, regional administrator for the SBA; and Gary Furtado, president and CEO of Navigant.
