3 Things You Need to Know Before Starting a Laundromat

  • I'm Peter Mayberry and if you're considering starting a laundromat business, there are a few important things you need to keep in mind.
    First and foremost, location is key. You want to find a spot that's easily accessible for your customers, ideally in a high-traffic area with plenty of foot or vehicle traffic. This will help ensure a steady flow of customers and increase the chances of repeat business.
    Secondly, parking is crucial. Make sure there's ample parking available near your laundromat, so customers don't have to struggle to find a place to park. This will also help attract customers who might otherwise be deterred by the hassle of finding parking.
    Finally, it's important to keep your laundromat clean and well-maintained. Nobody wants to do their laundry in a dirty, dingy space, so make sure to invest in regular cleaning and maintenance to keep your laundromat looking its best. This will not only help attract and retain customers, but it will also create a more pleasant and inviting atmosphere for everyone who visits.

    I own 2 laundromats in low income areas. I work about 25 hours a week and gross about 240K a year. whilst working with an advisor like Julianne Iwersen Niemann. I used to work in Sears repairs,, so I saved money by fixing my own machines. Believe it or not, the soap detergent vending machines bring in a good amount as well. Trust me starting and maintaining a profitable business starts with properly managing your finance.

      Laundromats are easy to operate...I know this lady you mentioned. I bought a laundromat from a friend many years ago who retired overseas. Repairs are costly. Try to at least learn the basics. I have bill acceptor machines to exchange for tokens, much better than counting and hauling quarters . My locations are near low income housing and apartments, which are very good for business.

      I owned 3 laundromats in SF. The biggest 3 issues? The Lease, the lease and the lease. Got screwed by two owners that didn't renew the lease. If you own the building, different story. Probably, it will not be bad to work with your advisor

Definitely helps a young and desperate poor guy like me to stay encouraged in striving to achieve my first ever owned business ... 240 gr. < - electric, water, mechanical, supplies, janitorial, city taxes, county taxes, insurance, business license heat, cooling costs & misc.. = ? . these taxes really want to make me work with a CFA. so that i can know how to joggle my way through. how do i reach her

    What an awesome video Peter! You are right to the point and from what I have learned, you are spot on! I saw your discussion with Danny D today. Not sure I can make the Excellence in Laundry meeting in San Diego but if I do I would love the opportunity to connect. I am winding down my medical sales career and want to get the F---K out of corporate America. Have been actively looking for a laundromat in the Phoenix Metro area but with little success so far. I have some leads but they will take some time to open up. I am ready to pull the trigger for the right opportunity. I have been scouting laundromats almost daily, I am not FUCKING giving up!! I hope to join the club as a laundromat owner in the near future. Best to you! T

I will either get the TI money in the deal or pay that myself. What has your experience been with that? I know Dexter offers 100% equipment financing option. I have been told the competitors will match others deals to get your business. I have 800+ credit scores and access to cash through a large HELOC.
