I have purchased a Maytag Home Style Laundromat. 18 top loaders & 18 stack dryers.The store has been closed for approx. 3 months due to previous owners going thru a divorce. Store size is approx. 800 sqft.
This is my first experience in laundry business.
I would appreciate receving comments regarding how to plan a successful " GRAND RE-OPENING " and building the customer base.

Remember the old adage: new and improved. Do as much as you can to make the place better than it was previously. Make it cleaner, brighter and safer than ever before. Let your customers register for door prizes, give away a little something every hour or half hour. Have fun with it.

Definitely!!! Do as much as you can to polish the place up. The better their laundry experience is, the quicker your business will pick up.

Do you have any large capacity front loaders? If not, or if you have only a couple, start planning now for equipment replacements and upgrades. There should be Clean '01 "specials" along with the usual end-of-year sales next Fall for you to plan on and budget for.
