So who is Duck Barnes? This man right here is where everything began!
He received his nickname ‘Duck’ when he was just a kid learning to walk. He waddled, like most babies do, and was called Duck and it stuck!
Duck started working at Star Laundry when he arrived in Valdosta at the age of 17. He met his wife, Jeanie, during this time who also worked at Star Laundry. Together in 1964 they opened Duck Barnes Drycleaners and it has been up and running ever since!
Duck passed away in 2007. Although he is not physically with us, his legacy lives on with Duck Barnes Drycleaners! 🦆
