Our performance in these

difficult times

of covid

The COVID-19 pandemic has unquestionably hit the heart of the American economy. Fortunately, laundromats were deemed essential by the government. We reacted quickly to ensure public health was our top priority by implementing safety measures for our employees and customers. Even after cutting off additional revenue streams, our store continued to show positive growth throughout the pandemic, further proving a recession and pandemic-resistant business.

What training do you provide?

We pride ourselves on operational excellence and providing a 5-star experience to our customers and store owners. Before you open, you'll attend a four day training at our headquarters in Charlotte, NC followed by on-site training at your store during your soft opening. You will have ongoing access to a Franchise Business Coach, Marketing Consultant, HR Consultant, and an incredible network of LaundroLab Laundropreneurs™ to lean on as well.
