About Us

Garment Valet is not your typical laundry company. We’ve been serving Boston residents, high-rise buildings, and commercial clients for decades. The company was voted the Best of Boston by Boston Magazine in 2025. In Fall 2025, we launched the semester of a student-powered growth team made up of multiple interns working together to expand our reach. If you love connecting with people, thinking creatively, and working in a comfortable, startup-style space, this might be a perfect experience. 

This internship is designed for students who want real-world experience in graphic design, digital content creation, branding, and social media strategy, all while contributing to the refresh of a familiar Boston name. The student will be exposed to the majority of procedures, positions, and departments inside of Husky Express Corporation DBA Garment Valet. It is expected that the student will perform the necessary duties, both in the office and in the field. Duties would include but not limited to: Sales, Marketing, and Operations. This position requires completion of a formal onboarding, followed by exposure to administrative tasks, research, and fieldwork to gain knowledge and experience. This position is geared toward those focused on small business ownership, efficiency initiatives, Biz Dev, and most behind the scene facets of maintaining/growing a business.
