As cliché as it is, location, location, location is obviously number one. We have developed our own proprietary approach to discerning the best possible real estate play for our locations.

We offer our customers the choice of doing their own laundry or utilizing our wash-dry-fold service. If you choose to do your own laundry, we have:
Electrolux Washers. They range from 20lb. to 77lb. machines. All are front loading and all operate the same way.
Electrolux Dryers. You can use your 30lb or 45lb dryer pockets. Remember, they are always HOT!
As a result of many years of research, we have found the best equipment on the market!
WaveMAX® Washers:
Our washers will automatically weigh your clothes and use the precise amount of water required for the best possible wash. (Our washers are the only machines on the market with this feature) They also extract at 450G Force. This provides a much cleaner wash and reduces your dry time.
WaveMAX® Dryers:
Eco Power: We have the only dryers on the market that have a built in sensor that determines the “dryness” of the clothes. As the clothes dry, the dryers automatically adjusts the temperature for optimum drying. This saves the clothes from being scorched and helps the gas bill.
Dryer Reversing: Our dryers will reverse themselves during their cycle. This keeps the clothes free from being tangled up. This feature allows the clothes to dry faster. (Free clothes are happy clothes!) The clothes also have fewer wrinkles.
Eco Power and dryer reversing allow for the best energy savings in the industry.
Ideally, we are looking for individuals who have experience in the business world and who know what it takes to be successful.
This will include the following:
It should be between 2000 and 4000 sq. ft.
Most likely you’ll start with 3-4 part time attendants.
We will give you profiles for the type of people you need to hire. We have a full section covering staffing in the operations manual. There are job descriptions, roles & responsibilities and even sample employments ads.
Monday—Sunday, 7:00 AM — 10:00 PM
Typically start employees at min wage. Or, min wage plus $1. They also get 5% of the WDF (wash, dry, fold) ticket and all tips.
We have 2 full time employees that have been with us for 4 years. The 2 part time employees have been with us 6 months
77% self-serve laundry, 23% WDF
The vast majority of the customers are repeat. In fact, we have some that have been coming since the week we opened (we still see our 1st customer)
We are looking for business partners. Not someone who is looking at opening a store and bleeding it dry. We want our owners to take pride in their investment as we have done at the Corporate store. (We never get tired of hearing how clean and professional our store is compared to the rest of our competitors) A clean, safe, and fully attended store maximizes the store’s potential and makes it a destination within its market.
This industry is known for old, tired, dirty “ZOMBIEMATS.” We want Franchise Partners that will faithfully maintain our brand!
We build and operate the stores for efficiency. Efficiency = profits. Why? Because extra equipment and non-essential equipment costs money, causes higher rent expenses and extra maintenance costs
This is critical to the success of your store. The right location can make or break a store. We will not tell you “yes” to any location you choose. We have studied the proper demographic criteria and matched that with the proper site criteria to choose the best location. This also tells us the proper store size to build within your market. We are not in the business of selling you equipment and walking away.
