Several factors must be taken into account when opening a self-service laundromat.

DO I NEED SPECIFIC SKILLS?

Training

Opening a Speed Queen self-service laundromat does not require any specific skill. No diploma or special training is required. It is therefore a concept accessible to all! Better still: in a self-service laundromat, it is the customers and the machines that do the work. Not you! No need then for any on-site presence. This is what makes the self-service laundromat perfect as a second job: you do not have to leave your job to get ahead in this activity.

Note: you can manage several self-service laundromats at the same time since managing one takes up very little time each week. If you wish to open your laundromat network, check out the corresponding section.

WHERE TO OPEN MY LAUNDROMAT?

Project Location

The hardest part is not about knowing how to open a laundromat but deciding where to open it. The choice of location is a strategic question. The estimated turnover of a self-service laundromat is calculated according to the demographic data and the characteristics of the targeted area.

Our experts have demographic information and will analyse it with you to select the most appropriate location for your Speed Queen self-service laundromat.

WHAT WASHERS AND DRYERS SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Equipment quality

Of course, the equipment of your laundromat needs to be up to the expectations of your customers. It also must be reliable and durable to reduce maintenance and renewal costs. When you open a Speed Queen self-service laundromat, you deal directly with an expert brand which has been manufacturing top of the range machines for more than a century. Robust, proven, equipped with cutting-edge technology, Speed Queen professional washing machines guarantee you unparalleled quality.

Thanks to its complete, near-to-hand, operational assistance, Speed Queen also provides optimal support and maintenance service.

WHICH COSTS AND CHARGES WILL I FACE?

Start-up costs

As with any business, opening a self-service laundry involves some initial costs. These costs vary, depending on the size of the self-service laundromat, its location, and the number of machines or ancillary services.

However, start-up costs can be recovered quickly thanks to the success rate of the sector and its excellent return on investment. Our teams are experts in the field and will help you take all the elements into account for your project.
