Catia Angelucci is the owner of three Speed Queen self-service laundromats. Her journey into the world of the sharing economy began in 2019 with the opening of a laundromat featuring 10 machines, which has since increased to 17. This was followed by the opening of two more locations, the latest of which includes 30 machines in the town of Montesilvano, Italy.
The investment is secure, with earnings positively influenced by the strategic locations of her laundromats, typically situated in densely populated areas with workers, students, and tourists. The operation is simple and efficient, supported by the use of apps and requiring no staff, making it a low-commitment and, in some ways, enjoyable business. This concept, which promotes collaborative consumption, represents a significant opportunity and a challenge for the future, especially as more users prefer to wash, dry, and sanitize their laundry in very short times.
