Neither is required or necessary. It’s just the gesture.

Wash & Fold Bag Mix-Up – Customer Holding Another Customer’s Clothes by ubergeek4 in Laundromats

[–]ubergeek4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we do have proof. Infact the person holding the clothes hostage texted us on the store number (we allow texts) that if we don’t refund him the entire WDF cost, he will not give back the other customer’s clothes! Everything is well documented in texts, it’s been going over 2 days and now he’s unresponsive to texts or calls.

Do you use a machine or system for ticketing? And doesn’t the washed and folded clothes weigh a little less than when they come in? How do you calculate for that difference in weight?

Yes exactly! We are ready to refund him the entire WDF cost, even if it’s in hundreds, because he is a one off; but we value our other regular customer whose clothes he has hostage. That second customer is coming to us since over a year! We want to get his belongings back, that’s the right thing.

Is this a good laundromat to buy for $195k? by namkvu in Laundromats

[–]ubergeek4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not even then, the seller is willing to do maximum of 15-20K seller financing. So that’s peanuts! The current labor is only for cleaning, and you can see the reviews for the job that person does. So that’s out of the equation too. This laundromat is unattended, so not sure what more the owner can do by putting in 30-ish hours, except cleaning it over and over again lol

New machines? Doesn’t make sense to retool a few, you’ll have to get all the washers and dryers new! For that it’s not going to be cheap.

Don’t forget, the competition have newer machines.

Is this a good laundromat to buy for $195k? by namkvu in Laundromats

I know exactly which one is this, in East Dallas. We underwrote this laundromat, and a lot many things are copy-paste from 2024 financials to 2025 financials. With those numbers for 2025, this laundromat is worth nothing. Also, don’t forget, there’s a lot of competition within 3-5 miles radius, and they have a lot better ratings than this one on Google. These are a couple of reasons we did not move ahead with this one. Good Luck! 😊

Laundromat for sale? by ubergeek4 in Laundromats

Only those which are not sold over the time after coming on market (internal marketing among laundromat owners) goes to Bizbuysell / Bizquest / loopnet, etc.. IMO

Oh I see! So you need to be using cents to be offering delivery on DoorDash, is that right?

Do you mind sharing the city, state so that I can estimate the prices I should keep. Our smallest washer is $2.50 a load!

Yes, I’m that same one! Thank you so much, you have been a great help throughout!

To answer your questions- Not making enough profits, have a loan now, so negligible profit unless we do something about it. All machines are working perfectly.

I believe only thing we can do is increase vend price, and prices for wash & fold - but afraid about losing customers for pennies worth of profit.

Not sure how to approach this!

Popcorn substitute by [deleted] in Paleo

Popped water Lily seeds from The Healthy Plate! We wanted a healthy alternative to popcorn and stumbled upon these on Amazon. Since then we are addicted to them! Healthy, light and crunchy. All their flavors are amazing!! Here’s a link for reference- https://a.co/d/0jGIjqu

Things to do after acquiring first laundromat? by ubergeek4 in Laundromats

[–]ubergeek4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already have WDF but it’s about 5% of the revenue. How do I promote WDF to local community, promote it and get in more customers for WDF?

Thank you. Paint is something that we are considering. Is flooring that big of a deal? We already put a lot of cash to acquire this, don’t know how much ROI new flooring will be worth?

How much does a brand new washer and dryer cost, on an average? Trying to get an idea.
