that's right you did....
I had a chance to visit the largest laundromat last Aug. It's a neat place. Very well designed, the water heater room is really something to see, so if you are in the Chicago area make sure you visit.
Tom told me his energy percentage was around 15%. That's pretty good, but his prices are low. I get better than that, but my prices are high.

yeah would be hard to have 400 machines going at once - I'd imagine

yeah - would love to see the books on that one! It's great to be the biggest anything - but it's about making money right...

I know, what is that a blatant copy attempt? So Lame -
I just read somewhere, The Laundry Capitalist is now one of the most visited small business blogs on the web. The article stated that it's not just laundromat advice but good small biz advice etc. so it's getting all kinds of traffic. Unbelievable - I guess it's become pretty famous.
