How's this for an idea.... Tear this one apart for me --
One of the biggest expenses of a coin-laundry start up is obviously the equipment. Commercial Washer/Dryers with coin boxes are very expensive. Sometimes 2X to 3X or 4X as much as residentials with no coin box.
What about starting up a laundrymat where you would use all household washer/dryers -- and just pay an attendant to sit there and swipe credit cards, etc 24 hours a day. People would pay by the load still, etc -- and you'd have an attendant there to sell product like soaps, fabric softener, etc Maybe incorporate some drop off/pick up service? Since it would be secure with an employee there, I'd put in a TV and maybe free wifi access, with a nice seating area.
Example: I can get new Kenmore Washer/Dryers for about $500 a set right now. 10 sets = $5000... which is nothing in the grand scheme of things to try out an idea.
Worth it? Not worth it?
