FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

U.S. DRY CLEANING CORPORATION APPOINTS NEW CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., September 4, 2007 – U.S. Dry Cleaning Corporation (OTCBB:UDRY) (“U.S. Dry Cleaning”), a first mover in consolidating the nation’s dry cleaning industry, announced today that the company’s Board of Directors has appointed F. Kim Cox as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

Mr. Cox is replacing Haddon Libby, who resigned to take a senior management position with Zurich Capital, LLC.

Mr. Cox has more than 20 years of broad management experience in public and private companies, including acquisitions, strategic planning, contract negotiations, investor relations, finance, operations, IPOs and divestitures.  Most recently, he served as CFO and then President of Rentrak Corporation, Portland, Oregon, a $100-million public company providing information management services to clients in the media, entertainment, retail, advertising and manufacturing industries. As President, he was responsible for all operational functions and implemented a company-wide action plan that increased the company’s P/E ratio by three times. Previously serving as CFO, he reorganized Rentrak’s financial reporting system and managed financings and acquisitions of over $100 million, among other accomplishments.

Mr. Cox said, “I’m delighted to join the innovative management team of U.S. Dry Cleaning as the company accelerates its dynamic growth strategy. Management’s vision of creating the first national chain of premier dry cleaning businesses in the United States offers outstanding opportunities for shareholders and new investors. I look forward to helping realize the extraordinary potential the company presents.

Anthony J.A. Bryan, Chairman of the U.S. Dry Cleaning Board, stated, “As U.S. Dry Cleaning completes its successful initial public offering – which is a first for the dry cleaning industry – we are very fortunate to have someone with Kim Cox’s talent and background as part of our management team at this critical period in the company’s development.  Kim will be responsible for planning and executing U.S. Dry Cleaning’s financial strategy in support of its very ambitious acquisition program.

Mr. Bryan added, “Haddon Libby’s contributions to the company have been numerous and valuable, and we all wish him well in his new responsibilities.
