Depending on these variables
--especially size-- a commercial laundry can gross from $2,500 to $10,000 a
week, or more. Each store is different, as is each owner, but these are
certainly achievable returns. A C Power Company can assist you in analyzing
the potential of specific locations.
What makes a good location for
my Commercial Laundry?
Your business should be located
in a high-traffic, densely populated, middle income area with parking. Coin
laundries can also do well in middle-to-high income areas with condominiums,
apartments and townhouses because many two income families find it more
convenient to use the local commercial laundry with it's wash, dry and fold
service. Furthermore, many young couples do not have the desire or capital
to buy a washer or dryer, so they use commercial laundries.
Can A C POWER COMPANY help me
find a good location?
Yes! Among the many services we
provide is pre-qualified locations, store design, and equipment
recommendations. We can also provide assistance in negotiating a good lease.
We usually have locations that are in negotiation and/or in construction.
Does it take any special skills
to own and operate a self-service coin laundry?
No. A coin laundry is a service
business. No special skills are required. The most important factor in your
success is you! The keys to a successful and profitable laundry are to
create a friendly atmosphere which makes customers loyal patrons of your
laundry; keep the store clean and brightly lit; and advertise and promote
your store to your customers. A C Power Company will assist you in making
your store successful, including assistance with marketing and promotion
concepts. However, the most important skill is common sense, hard work, and
business professionalism.
How much does it cost to build a
commercial coin/debit laundry?
The cost depends on the
location, size, equipment mix, and amount of leasehold improvements required
for your store. Today's professional coin laundries range in average size
from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet. A properly equipped and built coin laundry
can cost in total from $180,000 to $450,000. An average cost is
approximately $250,000.
What investment is required?
You'll need to invest a minimum
of $70,000 cash to get into the commercial laundry business. The cash
investment required depends on the size of your store and the amount of
leasehold improvements needed. Remember that you'll need to post deposits
for the lease and to open your utility accounts, also.
