WaveMAX is a semi‑absentee laundromat franchise designed to serve working‑class neighborhoods with modern equipment, full-time attendants, and a clean, professional customer experience. Think of it as a blue‑collar, cash-flow engine that doesn’t require you to babysit washers.
But we’re more than just a laundry business—we’re a community-focused brand. Our mission is to bring safer, cleaner, and more efficient laundry solutions to underserved areas. Each WaveMAX location is built to be a trusted neighborhood hub—combining high-tech machines, consistent staffing, and elevated cleanliness to deliver a better experience for customers and stronger returns for owners.
This community-driven model has resonated strongly with franchisees who want to generate reliable income while making a positive impact.
We are truly a semi-absentee business from day one! We typically ask for about 10 hours per week in-store to handle scheduling, manage staff, and oversee KPIs.
Most franchisees don’t hire a manager initially, and we recommend being in the store about 9 hours per week—3 days a week, 3 hours per day.
