BUY A LAUNDROMAT.

It's the passive-income business you've been searching for.

YOU WANT TO BUY A LAUNDROMAT.
LET US SHOW YOU HOW.

A laundromat is one of the most lucrative passive-income type businesses you can own.   But there's a big difference between a business that exists, and one that thrives.   

And while it's not rocket science to purchase and operate a laundromat successfully, you'll need to think about having the right business permits, protecting yourself from seller fraud, and verifying the income.  And you must be smart about your advertising and profit margins.

And while other owners may buy a laundromat and just collect income, you know better. 

You know that running a business right means starting with a plan on Day One before you've even found your first store.  You know that you can’t afford to cut corners on things like your business plan.  You know that "winging it" is not a strategy, and how important it is to invest in solid, proven information.

And if you didn’t know all that, you do now.  Knowledge is power, and our strategy in helping you learn is simple: Share what we’ve learned, work hard, and lead by example.

JUST ONE OF MANY SUCCESS STORIES...

My husband and I had been looking for a passive way to supplement our income and decided to start with the laundry business.  The Laundromats101 Guide and calculators provided us with the tools to get started.

Randy and Laura take you through each stage of the process from just thinking about it to making it a reality. The calculators and templates are so useful, the guide is easy to read and most importantly it is honest. We purchased our first laundromat within a couple of months of buying the book and I still refer back to the book often!

ANOTHER RECENT SUCCESS STORY...

Hi Laura. My name is Dennis. I purchased your 101 Guide and it was awesome.  I had always wanted to own a laundromat so I started looking and found one for sale. I purchased your guide and followed it to the tee. Now we are on week 4 of ownership and I couldn't be happier.

We were able to use your negotiating ideas and purchased it at an unbelievable price. Just wanted to say great job on your guide, I am so glad I purchased it and studied it.

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS OF LAUNDROMATS101

Hello there! We're Randy and Laura Dobbins, the founders of Laundromats101. Like you, we're entrepreneurs who know how challenging (but rewarding) it can be pursuing a business opportunity. 

We first became interested in owning a laundromat over ten years ago.  Eventually, the timing was right and we bought our first store.  We made some improvements, and incomes increased dramatically.  We then bought a second store.

Just rinse and repeat, right?

Over the years, we’ve learned a lot about the purchase process, marketing, operations, and how to create a loyal customer base.  Our Laundromats101 Complete Guide to Purchasing a Laundromat is our way of offering that knowledge and experience to an amazing breed of entrepreneur that we truly admire—people like you.

We have worked tirelessly on this program for many, many months.  We merged keen entrepreneurial know-how with laundry industry best practices. It’s the most complete program you’ll find (we’ve looked). We're so excited for you to try it!

FAQs

Who even wrote this book/program/package you keep talking about?

We're Randy and Laura Dobbins, a husband-wife team that own this site, Laundromats101.com, as well as two local laundromats. Several years ago, we purchased a couple of unattended laundries, and created a passive-income empire. 

Will this system help someone like me?

Good question. We put this package together with many different people in mind, but our ultimate aim is to help anyone that is new to the laundromat industry. New entrepreneurs, seasoned business owners looking to expand into laundromats, folks looking for passive income, people looking for an extra income stream, business investors, retirees, the list goes on. Even current laundromat owners can use our managing and profiting strategies!

Can I really buy a laundromat using your system? Really?

Yes! We've had countless people, from the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia reach out to us to share their ownership success stories, all from using our step-by-step process. The system is truly a complete resource, aimed at folks that are just starting out in their pursuit of a laundromat business. From Day 1 to the day you get the keys and beyond, it's all there.

How soon can I start looking for a laundromat to buy?

Well, right away! As you read The Complete Guide to Purchasing a Laundromat, you will quickly learn tips and tricks on how to identify the right laundromat in the right area.  And included in our Investor package, is our Laundromat Business Course, which devotes an entire lesson to pinpointing the exact area to buy, based on real data.

Is the Investor package really worth the price?

Well if you ask us, yes! But we understand that not everyone is able or ready to invest in that much information. The real value of the Investor package is that it includes enrollment in our QuickSTART® Laundromat Business Course. There is nothing out there like it, and it covers quite a bit:

  • Lesson 1: "Let's Get Your Prep On!" creates the foundations of your business. Determine your income goals, discover if you should build new or buy existing, and take the entrepreneur skills and strengths quiz.

  • Lesson 2: "What Will Your Business Look Like?" is a deep-dive into finding just the right “look and feel” for your store. Design a professional-grade logo and brand with online tools and step-by-step instructions.

  • Lesson 3: "Hands-On Exercise: Let's Go Undercover" takes you out in the real world, checking out other laundromats so you can see what’s working and AVOID what isn’t.

  • Lesson 4: "The Laundromat Business - From A to Z" is your master’s degree in everything laundry biz related.  This includes discovering the right financing strategy for your situation.

  • Lesson 5: "Finding the Perfect Location for a Laundromat" is where we reveal our step-by-step method on finding the ideal location for a laundry, using simple industry guidelines and real-life examples.

  • Lesson 6: "You're Ready...You're Set...Now Go!" pulls together everything you learned and creates your personal road map to owning a laundry business and the final steps to get there.

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF LAUNDROMATS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BORING

At Laundromats101, we believe that becoming a successful laundromat owner is one of the best decisions you can make.  Purchasing a business and developing business skills is indeed serious stuff, but it doesn’t have to be boring.

With the right learning program bursting with practical resources, you too can learn the fundamentals of purchasing a laundromat while simultaneously laying the groundwork for life-changing income.

Sadly, the laundromat owner community has been seriously underserved.  There aren’t many qualified resources to turn to for honest and valid information on how to purchase and run a laundromat business.  And the few credible sources that do exist are, well, a little boring.

That’s why we created The Laundromats101 Guide to Purchasing a Laundromat—we wanted to merge fun with financials, humorous stories with business strategy, and logos with lease negotiation. Our comprehensive program is the business partner you’ve always wanted to help you purchase and operate a laundromat business!
