have over fifty years of experience in the ownership, If you've been waiting for things to get better before you buy some equipment, it's time to put your tool belt away and step up to plate. You're going to need to improve your Laundromat before competition steps in and takes away your customers. A lot of you are spending more on repairs than you would on a monthly payment for new washers. If you haven't placed enough front load washers in your store, now is the time.You can only make your store grow by putting a little money back in. Replace the old equipment and raise the prices. You can't continue to patch up some of your ancient equipment forever and expect people not to notice. Unreliable equipment hurts your business. How long has it been since you've spent any money on your Laundromat? More than three years and you're in need, especially if most of your equipment is over ten years old. At a minimum, you should replace a row or two of top load washers and buy a half dozen new laundry carts. Just my suggestion.
