The location is the first success factor of your laundry. If it is located on a shopping street, in a large area or near a university campus, it will attract a lot of customers. The turnover will depend on, among other things, the area of the premises and the number of machines available.
Income for the first year of activity
Imagine a medium size laundry (50 m2) that is open Monday to Sunday 365 days a year. Imagine also an average price of washing and drying of 8€ and an average of 12 cycles per day.
Your average turnover would be: (8€ x 12 cycles) x 365 days = 35.040€
Of course, this billing is theoretical; it’s a simulation. Speed Queen experts are here to make a much more accurate estimate of your billing, according to the characteristics of your project (city, area of the premises, equipment…).
Income after 5 years of activity
Your laundry will gain in visibility and notoriety over time. As a result, the number of cycles will increase as well as the income generated.
Can I live off my laundry?
The operation of a laundry involves costs: fixed costs (rent, Wifi, loan…) and variable costs (water, electricity, maintenance of machines, washing products…). A laundry is an excellent income supplement that leaves time for other activities. But in order to live 100% off the laundry income, we recommend our investors open several of them progressively.
