Remember. Your laundromat isn’t about you. Clients don’t care about your dream to build a store. They walk in focused on what your store does for them. Give them what they need. That’s the whole business.

$749K. What the average new laundromat sold for in 2024. Up 78% from $421K in 2021. However, in 2023, it was $808K. Not seeing any discussions on why it dropped. That's a thread worth pulling. Source: American Coin-Op Annual Distributor Survey

Had a conversation I can't stop thinking about. An operator picks up 800-1,000 lbs of laundry a day. No storefront. No software. No POS. No laundry app. A van and a freaking notepad. He broke down the whole operation. All of it. That's why I built The Mat — Standing on the

What if for 60 days you just ignored every stereotype and preconceived notion about a laundromat client. Treated every one of them as if they were spending $1,000 every time they visited your laundromat? What would your business look like on the 61st day?
