Hey Codie, love your content! We actually met a couple of years ago when I was on the BOD for the ALPFA Orange County Chapter and you were a guest speaker! Any tips for how to find boring businesses to buy from baby boomers (BBBB's) in the Austin, Texas area?
Love your content as well How much would you say you needed to start a business like this ?? I’m out in calgary Alberta and I think this would be awesome and would work wonders here.
Is the goal here to acquire or build sizeable wash/dry/fold facilities every X miles or so (i.e., shrink the service time from days to hours or overnight?) or offer franchise opportunities to other wash/dry/fold facilities and run all the logistics (if they wanted to scale quickly without having to spend a lot of capital on physical stores and have ROFRs on all those franchise locations.) Mark mentioned most of their customers use the service sporadically - implying convenience over necessity. Are most of their clients, in fact, people with washers & dryers that choose to use the service for convenience? If that is the case, the value prop is really folding clothes as it's the most time-intensive...throwing clothes into the washer and dryer isn't worth much. Have they thought about providing just a folding service as a standalone option? There is certainly overlap with home cleaning services as I'd imagine the folding service would require an individual or two to go into the customer's home. A few other questions: Have they experimented with subscription services with a monthly weight or bag limit? Is anything proprietary about the business? Did they develop any software to handle the operations? Or is this a land and expand / first-mover to scale strategy? Did the owners acquire the business and add services or improve the service level? What are the exit plans (if any)? Is this a long-term hold for the majority owners, or are they looking at flipping when they get to some revenue figure? Are they raising capital? I'm sure folks in the contrarian thinking crew would be interested in investing. Out of left field question (and not sure if they can collect this level of data on their customers): Can they catalog customer wardrobes? Not sure if there is AI/ML technology that could categorize everything going through their facilities and tag them to a household (excl., sex toys). The manual way would probably be too time-consuming and disrupt the service level.
LOVE the longer former and deeper dives into your boring businesses! Specifically love hearing more cost breakdowns, numbers, "things that go wrong". Super valuable and full of insight!
@@CodieSanchezCT Perhaps a bit more on recognizing an opportunity as well as understanding future market potential. Also, mirroring what a few others mentioned on production, leaving the text on screen and making it stand out a bit more and, I'd say be mindful when flashing info or graphics on screen in general. It tends to take viewer eyes and attention away from the valuable content you are producing here! Great job and thanks for sharing your value and insight with us!
@@CodieSanchezCT How to market it, customer acquisitions, how to do the numbers to make sure you're in the right investment, what to insure...anything that helps ensure success...
Jobs will pay your bills business will make you rich but investment makes and keep you wealthy, the future is inevitable, I hope you become successful!
This is very smart he added a logistics business to the laundromat and delivered anywhere between 40 and 50 mile radius as to other competitors only deliver 6 mile radius
Working with Romero pieto is the best thing that can happen to a beginner trader who is aspiring to be fruitful out of the market he is trustworthy and straightforward we surely need more men like him in trading world.
Mark is a rising star in the industry and making waves where experts previously thought there were limits. You could definitely see all the soul and passion as infrastructure in a growing business. Great interview, host, and production into the video!
This is the cleanest laundry I have ever seen. Please people, help keep laundry's clean. Biggest negative about travel camping is the laundry's are always so dirty everywhere I go.
"Everyone has one job and one job only" This is an amazing model, in my old job as a bartender, we had a million little things to do and we would be jumping up and downstairs constantly because of lack of staff and even when we had staff we would all be doing a bit of everything, this is annoying for everyone. I think if more businesses went by this model staff would be happier knowing what they are doing and can get into a routine. Very interesting video all businesses should watch
The 3 mil really went to the folks who sell the trucks and laundry machines. In your next video maybe you can show the books and reconcile those with the bank statements and tax returns.
Can't say enough about your content the quality and details of your content (logos, cinematography and music choice) is why I keep watching your stuff. Congrats to your team.
OMG your last phrase was right on the money. When you mentioned about Walmart. I don't shop in one, don't support one and I only want to support my local guys and gals. Thank you fascinating and wonderful business on most simplistic level
I hired Mario. An absolute gem of a human being. You have to run your operation in a way that pushes down some of the responsibility and ALL the glory. It makes everyone part of the story and process.
Love this content! Pro Tip: Use a lav mic. If you ever cover a business in the Vegas area, hit me up. I'll help you bring your production value to the next level.
This is really fascinating about how they operate their facility and each person has their role like an assembly line. Curious to know the breakout of the $3mil in revenues for payroll, operational costs, and net profit. #6 vid today. Thanks for the fabulous content.
"...one less Wal Mart on the street..." Love this 😍Hubby and I are debt free aside from our mortgage and looking into starting a business like this. Thank you for the great content and info!
Very smart. Not many people change the oil on their car or even wash their car. We outsource so much. Outsource the laundry. I love it. Just ordered The Toyota Way book also. Thank you for expanding my vision.
Location is critical for a laundromat business. I imagine a lot of research and analytics are involved when opening or investing in a laundromat. Being near a college campus is probably an advantageous location.
College students are generally broke.. there's no way this type of business which likely has a hefty markup on doing your own laundry, thrives around a campus
The real trick to these places making money is the passive income from the night time laundry service. When normally the place would be closed and thus making no money. He is able to exploit that down time and maximize profits. Good for him
haha that was my one thought.... why isn't the detergent stored in big hanging shelves that hang down from the ceiling so the it's at eye level when you're loading laundry? Like the systems they have in oil change places so that each stall just grabs a nozzle for oil or whatever
$3million in revenue sounds like a nice number over the $900k without delivery. But the man power, vehicles, insurance, etc. are all incredibly expensive. She says $3mil but she showed the sheets. The net profit is $81k.
Codie, I've been following your Instagram page for a while, but that was my first time watching one of your RUclips videos and it was totally awesome! Your content here is a lot better than 90% of the current RUclipsrs I watch. Tbh the only critique I have is allowing those text/info blurbs to sit on the screen a bit longer. Those are where some of the really juicy info is and would be nice to have just an extra second or so to absorb it all without having to pause the video. Otherwise, great work so far and I'm looking forward to more of your glorious RUclips content! :)
@@CodieSanchezCT And the text info should be on a flat background - some is very hard to read when layered over a moving full bleed video image - but small things.. ;) Great content! Lovin the new longer versions, but still lurve your short vids!
Loving the longer form videos Codie. Watching and listening to them intently...but the audio on this video is a little messy. Could you please look into the audio issue for future videos? Really appreciate it.
I think full service can be applied to other boring business, like for example, you got renting an apartment, you add full service an is a airbnb, I think is a good concept
This is a really interesting video for anyone who is looking to create wealth in their business. I know from personal experience cause im in the business. good video
My favorite song the cello sounds like symphoniacs in background I love the happy fun goofy attitude the money education the music my goodness favorite RUclips channel !!!!
What's keeping me from starting is that "I always thought that Laundromat business will never work in my City/Suburb area" because every one/house/appartement has a washer & dryer machine so why would anybody go to laundromat..... I wonder why I never saw one around.
Awesome content, thank you Codie!!! (note for the future: audio could probably use a little tuning up and better balancing with background track) (note after the note: a few of the info graphics could have been up .5sec longer or more to be more legible)
As a small business owner I have to say this is NOT for 95% of future business owners. This requires huge capital expenditure, software, labor, learning curve...it's a huge risk for anyone who is not backed by BIG money investor. And it requires operating expertise. Only the BIG company can do this level of service, from design to service this is more like a franchise not a small business. It maybe impressive to show a $3M topline, I can guess after rent, lease of the machines, utilities, labor, accounting, payroll taxes, and much more...they maybe netting 5 to 10% pure profits, but one big advantage they got is they built a business model that can scale, with caveat of as long as even more millions are constantly poured in from big money investors. In other words, nice production but not practical for most small business wannbe owners. It's extremely hard if not impossible to find or start a true operator owner small business that generates real profits and won't bankrupt you. My advice is to all small business owner wannbe/aspired to be is don't waste time day dream a business like this, rather start small, anything literally, get your feet wet on running a business, meaning selling, collecting money, pay bills, once you got that down ideas will come to you. NO one here on RUclips will share anything real with you, you will learn almost nothing from these videos. Other than oh wow they already made it. Do the actual work of selling buying paying sweating stressing grinding, do it for years, you will very quickly figure what works what doesn't and the real secrets of running a place and profit from it.
This is great content! Thank you! One ask though, the transitions between some of the slides were really fast. If you could make them a little slower - there were a lot of good nuggets to note but had to either pause or rewind several times to re-read everything.
I love this video and I was waiting for your RUclips videos for so long! 😍 One point for the next video: it is a little bit hard to understand you two, when you are sitting on the washing machines. Maybe you should think about small microphones to put on your clothes, so that the sounds is better and clearer. ☺️
With that many employees, running 22 hrs a day, delivery vehicles, building and utility costs, is there any money left for the owner at the end of the day?
I have the same question, I don’t think it will bring a lots of cash. The job itself is very time consuming and takes a lots of people involved, plus electricity and water is not cheap.
Im a logistics guy and you wiuld think that yhe logistics would impress me but the most important thing was comparing doing laundry through the business was like ordering a pizza.
Excellent content Codie. We bought a value add mom and pop laundromat 2 years ago. Very under the radar business. Great cashflow, especially for the time invested. We have been offering on several of late, It just takes some time and effort to find the right deal. We would love to model something like this in our town. We are considering using the Brio Laundry model out of Washington state.
Thank you for this. I've been wanting to own a laundromat since I was a young teenager because it just always made sense to me. The things yall discussed just made me realize my thought process was on the right track. Sheesh you don't even know how God just used you to speak to me. Peace and Blessings! ❤
$3 million doesn't mean much. Uber pulls $18.3 billion in 2021, and yet their annual profit is negative $0.4 billion...I hope you see my point. If you're generating $3m annually, and your profit if $10,000 then this is a crap investment.
If it was a 'crap investment' they would move on to something else. You can't measure this against a completely different business. So many people are making wild invalid guesses in these comments.
Very cool presentation - but . . . They don't make $3MM, they have revenue of $3MM - with all that labor, supply costs, fuel, insurance and utilities, what is their profit margin?
Usually when talking of a business "make" is referring to revenue, whereas "cashflow/clear/EBITDA" is speaking to profits. Laundromat makes 3MM, but I'd love to know the Net margin as well, even better EBITDA.
Often times they don't want to share their profit number as they are going for scale and investment which I think is totally fair so they made $3MM in revenue.
maybe it’s just me, but i’m struggling to see how this can be scalable either outside of cities into more rural areas, and for people to see the cost benefit of paying $50 per bag vs doing it themselves in their house or apartment complex. unless it was more difficult to do it themselves (higher price to do laundry, less convenient to do) then i see this capping eventually. but for now, it’s a boom
Very cool seeing Toyota Way referenced. I’d like to see the layout of the house. Perhaps incorporating some more lean principles can eliminate muda and bring in more $$$
Wow. What a great video Codie. I just found you yesterday and love all the content. I just sold my house in Fort Worth and have been using a laundromat for clothes. The one I'm using is ripe for an acquisition. Any advice on how to approach or find the owner?
I own a Wash & Fold Laundromat Service, I was thinking to Sell it, because Pandemic kill my business, all the Tourist, The International Students, and the AIR B&B Business that almost die too with covi, I don't even know how I found the Video, but I see what he did and I just need to optimize the Administration and open 24 HORES A DAY, AND WHY NOT, what I need is Money, I'm so happy, I will improve my business.
That "perfectly" folded bag of clothes then being thrown around costs 50 bucks.looked like 1/2 bag.full bag costs $100 lol.do I really need to have my underwear folded? Fonzi is the only person that irons his socks
This is encouraging. I had basically this same idea in my head for a little while now. Buy a laundry i.e. the 67k deal then add on the done for you service(s). I'm now hooked on this channel. Subscribing now. Thanks👍
14:48 The employee is not going to be able to support his family or pay for his kids to go to college. The owner is a millionaire but this employees probably have to get food stamps.
Even if you have 30 machines running non stop all year, they would each have to make $11 an hour. That doesn't make sense because it takes 45 minutes to wash clothes for $3.
Really good content and i think this is a good business idea..thank you.. just wondered though.. when the clean folded clothes go into the bag as they are delivered, has there been any complaints of the clothes being crumpled or whatsoever that they are not happy about or are there less expectations when they receive it??
I pay property taxes in two different counties, and yet hafta use a laundry mat. The little apt the two of us live in doesn't have laundry hookups. It's dirt cheap here for rent , plus quiet, but I need to build a house on some properties just to wash clothes at home🤔😵💫
Buy a portable wash machine... It hooks up to your kitchen sink faucet and you drain it right in the sink! No hook ups needed. It will pay for itself in. A few.months vs laundry mat fees.
So how do you know which customers loundry you are working with right now, whats the exact process. Customers deliver the laundry or you pick it up too? Then you put it in a bag and it gets a Code? When it goes to the washing machine, how you know which laundry is washing? Just want to understand every step of the way.

This Channel has me hooked! Such good info and good motivator!
$3 million doesn't mean much. Uber pulls $18.3 billion in 2021, and yet their annual profit is negative $0.4 billion...I hope you see my point. If you're generating $3m annually, and your profit if $10,000 then this is a crap investment.
Wait it was 10k a month not a year right?
If it was a 'crap investment' they would move on to something else. You can't measure this against a completely different business. So many people are making wild invalid guesses in these comments.
Wow!!!!
Awesome concept. I may need to do this as well.
Thanks for sharing your amazing journey
Yay!
"Uhh, can u please stop slapping my machines? I got the point already..."
The background music is making it hard to listen to the conversation
Great feedback ty!! We’ll work on that.!
Very cool presentation - but . . . They don't make $3MM, they have revenue of $3MM - with all that labor, supply costs, fuel, insurance and utilities, what is their profit margin?
Around 20% most likely and then split between partners
Usually when talking of a business "make" is referring to revenue, whereas "cashflow/clear/EBITDA" is speaking to profits. Laundromat makes 3MM, but I'd love to know the Net margin as well, even better EBITDA.
I'm confused too - did you make 3MM or 81k (in 2020)?
Often times they don't want to share their profit number as they are going for scale and investment which I think is totally fair so they made $3MM in revenue.
Let say %10 profit = 300k ...
Loved this !! Thanks Codie !! And yes, I subscribed.
maybe it’s just me, but i’m struggling to see how this can be scalable either outside of cities into more rural areas, and for people to see the cost benefit of paying $50 per bag vs doing it themselves in their house or apartment complex. unless it was more difficult to do it themselves (higher price to do laundry, less convenient to do) then i see this capping eventually. but for now, it’s a boom
I dont like washing clothes, thats why we pay someone to do it
love the hip-hop cello suite no. 1 at the end
Love the statement, "and that is 1 less Walmart on the street ".
Great video love your message at the end one less Walmart on the street that’s a story I can get behind that’s 200 IQ right there
As a new subscriber keep up the good work
during the pandemic, Laundromats are wiped out in the State! Those owners are at a total loss. Not working.
Great video but please lower the volume of the music. I’m listening on iPhone speaker and it’s hard to hear you clearly over the music.
What about ironing the clothes ? Does Folde offer that? Great video good lessons to learn. Thanks
Very cool seeing Toyota Way referenced. I’d like to see the layout of the house. Perhaps incorporating some more lean principles can eliminate muda and bring in more $$$
Wow. What a great video Codie. I just found you yesterday and love all the content. I just sold my house in Fort Worth and have been using a laundromat for clothes. The one I'm using is ripe for an acquisition. Any advice on how to approach or find the owner?
I own a Wash & Fold Laundromat Service, I was thinking to Sell it, because Pandemic kill my business, all the Tourist, The International Students, and the AIR B&B Business that almost die too with covi, I don't even know how I found the Video, but I see what he did and I just need to optimize the Administration and open 24 HORES A DAY, AND WHY NOT, what I need is Money, I'm so happy, I will improve my business.
Codie you are awesome. Thanks to share your knowledge, time and love with us. Thumbs Up from Brazil girl, yeeeh 😁😆😅
Fantastic video! Super well done, great content, great style, that was a FAST 15 minutes!
Yay!!!
Honey this is not a small business, this is a small business idea turned into a huge operational business.
Why would laundry in the dryers be dirty?
I'm confused - the revenue in the video wasn't anywhere near $3M.. was that just for one location or what am I missing?
Am I missing something here, are they really charging $50 per bag/customer?
Ppl waste money to be lazy
That "perfectly" folded bag of clothes then being thrown around costs 50 bucks.looked like 1/2 bag.full bag costs $100 lol.do I really need to have my underwear folded? Fonzi is the only person that irons his socks
This is encouraging. I had basically this same idea in my head for a little while now. Buy a laundry i.e. the 67k deal then add on the done for you service(s). I'm now hooked on this channel. Subscribing now. Thanks👍
I love the scale of this business.
You sh out of open this in Denver. I think people would love it.
Wow what incredible operation so cool great info thanks Sanchez.. 😎🤘🏽
14:48 The employee is not going to be able to support his family or pay for his kids to go to college. The owner is a millionaire but this employees probably have to get food stamps.
Good point.
Even if you have 30 machines running non stop all year, they would each have to make $11 an hour. That doesn't make sense because it takes 45 minutes to wash clothes for $3.
$81k/ year net for that all work and managing isn't worth it at all.
Yea how tf is he going from $3M revenue to $81k profit. I sense some fuckery to fudge the IRS taxes
Really good content and i think this is a good business idea..thank you.. just wondered though.. when the clean folded clothes go into the bag as they are delivered, has there been any complaints of the clothes being crumpled or whatsoever that they are not happy about or are there less expectations when they receive it??
I pay property taxes in two different counties, and yet hafta use a laundry mat. The little apt the two of us live in doesn't have laundry hookups. It's dirt cheap here for rent , plus quiet, but I need to build a house on some properties just to wash clothes at home🤔😵💫
Buy a portable wash machine... It hooks up to your kitchen sink faucet and you drain it right in the sink! No hook ups needed. It will pay for itself in. A few.months vs laundry mat fees.
So how do you know which customers loundry you are working with right now, whats the exact process. Customers deliver the laundry or you pick it up too? Then you put it in a bag and it gets a Code? When it goes to the washing machine, how you know which laundry is washing? Just want to understand every step of the way.
Great content! Kids are gods gifts! Keep up the great work 👍
Great video, but i feel the music is a tad too loud. Other than, keep up the good work :)
Great feedback. What else were new at this?!
@@CodieSanchezCT the humor bits are the highlights, leave the written bits up for a min of 3 secs, showcase your showpieces ie you carry the stunning squash blossom necklace in another video really well, and it makes you look like a queen, longer video format offers more value and more chance for super fans. Have recently found you, subscribed to newsletter and socials. Love your stuff. Thank you.
Thanks for your insights. The captions were disappearaning very fast bf we could finish reading. Could u please slow them down.
