About Us

Gary Campbell, worked as an engineer for Gulf General Atomic until 1972, when he and his wife Leisel moved to Corvallis and purchased Frad’s Cleaners and Beaver Fabric Care Center. He founded Campbell’s Cleaners, Inc. in 1972. In 1983, Campbell’s Ninth Street store relocated to its large and modern present location and in 1989, the Kings-Circle store moved to expanded quarters in the Timberhill Shopping Center. In 1996, the Ninth Street coin-laundry was re-located into a free-standing building with over 3000 sq ft., featuring a full-service espresso and snack bar. In December of last year, we opened a third Corvallis location in combination with Sunsations Tanning, an upscale tanning salon featuring UV-Free spray tanning as well as Ultra Sun high-performance tanning beds.

In 1994, I joined the family business as Vice President after completing a four-year accounting program at Oregon State University. Having worked mostly on the front counter through high school and college, I honed my skills in other departments. In 1995, I attended the International Fabricare Institutes Advanced Drycleaning School. I continued my education by attending IFI’s Wetcleaning School, Aqua Clean’s wet cleaning training in New York, and Kirk’s leather cleaning school in Chicago.
