Mike Roberts after two decades building successful businesses across multiple industries, Mike became fascinated with the laundromat industry's stability and cash flow potential. But he quickly discovered a broken model trapped in the past, failing to evolve with modern customer expectations and owner needs.
Mike created WaveMAX to reimagine what a laundromat business could be—combining the recession-resistant strength of this essential service with modern systems, technology, and customer experience design.
"I founded WaveMAX with a simple mission: to help entrepreneurs build profitable, sustainable laundromat businesses that deliver superior returns while enhancing their lifestyle rather than consuming it."
Today, with 47+ locations across the country and a passionate community of successful owners, Mike and the WaveMAX team are proving that the laundromat industry can be revolutionized—one WaveMAX at a time.
